    Architecting for Infinite Growth: Building a High-Scale SaaS
    By Eitan Fitusi, CTO, VP R&D @ Effectivate

    Designing a SaaS platform that can handle massive scale requires more than just powerful servers — it demands a robust, future-proof architecture.

    In this session, we will explore the core principles of building for high scalability and our transition to a next-generation cloud infrastructure.

    I’ll share how we re-engineered our system to support rapid growth and the unique challenges of deploying this new architecture into a live production environment with zero disruption to our users.

    The AI/LLM Hammer: Not Every Problem Is a Nail
    By Assi Dahan, VP Data Science & AI @ ONE datAI

    A fast, focused session that cuts through the industry confusion around ML, AI, GenAI, and NLP. With high failure rates across the market, we show how our approach consistently succeeds while saving organizations time, money, and unnecessary complexity. We’ll present a clear overview of the main use-case categories and data types, share real examples of what actually works in production, and explain when an off-the-shelf LLM is enough — and when you need deeper architecture, tuning, or custom development around it.

  • Uri Teva
    10:30 - 10:40Keynote
    The AI Managed Bubble: Who’s Really in Control of the Cloud?
    By Uri Teva, VP Business Development @ Cloudride

    AI is rapidly becoming the invisible layer that plans, optimizes, secures, and operates our cloud infrastructure. But as more decisions move from humans to algorithms, are we building smarter systems or locking ourselves inside an AI-managed bubble?

    In this keynote, Uri explores how AI-driven cloud management is reshaping cost control, performance, security, and business decision-making. He’ll unpack where AI truly adds value, where the hype begins, and what startup leaders must understand to stay in control of their cloud strategy as autonomy increases.

  • 10:40 - 10:50

Learn what cloud providers look for in early-stage ISVs and how these alliances can become a long-term growth engine.
