AWS UG meets Riskified: From Instant Scaling to Global Networking

Is your AWS architecture ready to scale faster?

AI workloads, CI/CD pipelines, and global systems need more than reactive autoscaling. If slow scale-ups or latency are holding you back — this meetup is for you.

Join AWS User Group and Riskified to learn how Preemptive Infrastructure enables near-instant scaling with real production examples, live demos, and practical takeaways.

Agenda

6:15 – 6:45 — Welcome, Food & Drinks

6:45 – 7:00 — Opening Remarks (AWS & Riskified)

7:00 – 7:30 — Solving the Autoscaler Wait Problem

Luiz Pacini Rabelo, Senior DevOps Engineer @ Riskified

7:30 – 8:00 — Talk #2 (TBA)

8:00 – 8:30 — Networking 🍕🥤

Talk #1: Preemptive Infrastructure Management

Traditional autoscalers react too late. Luiz will show how hibernated infrastructure pools cut activation time from minutes to seconds.

Focus:

- Latency in AI workloads & CI/CD runners

- Real cases with CircleCI and Amazon EKS

- Faster scaling without hurting FinOps
