🎙️ Exploring Kotlin Multiplatform possibilities
Speaker: Gabryel Monteiro – Backend Software Developer at WAES
Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) has evolved far beyond Android. Today, it powers everything from iOS and web apps to desktop and embedded systems. But how far can you really take the “write once, run anywhere” dream?
With over a decade of backend experience, Gabryel put KMP to the test, building five clients (Android, iOS, Web, Desktop, CLI) and two servers (Spring Boot and NodeJS). He’ll share where the framework truly shines and where its current limitations become clear.
If you’re curious about the future of cross-platform development, this talk is for you.
🎙️ Reduce LLM Calls with Vector Search Design Patterns
Speaker: Raphael De Lio – Developer Advocate at Redis
LLMs are powerful, but overusing them can quickly get expensive, slow, and energy-hungry. What if you could handle everyday tasks like classification, routing, and caching without calling a massive model every time?
In this session, Raphael shows how to use vector search and semantic design patterns to:
Classify intent without tokens or prompts
Route requests by meaning instead of brittle rules
Reuse answers through semantic caching
Expect practical insights on how to build smarter, leaner AI systems with embeddings and lightweight logic, eliminating the need for complex ML pipelines.
