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
