Opening Ceremony
summary
Conference opens with logistics and local stats then pivots to concrete engineering wins: a local startup rewrites a monolithic Java Spring/Hibernate system into Scala with Akka actors, scales to billions of requests and terabytes of data per hour using Kafka, Spark Streaming and Druid, grows to ~50 R&D engineers and achieves an exit near $100M. University and park numbers: 20,000 students, 2,500 engineers on-site today, projected 15,000 in a decade, sponsors fund the event.
