This focused technical session provides MySQL DBAs and developers with essential knowledge for understanding PostgreSQL's key differences and similarities. The session prioritizes practical, high-impact distinctions that affect day-to-day operations and development.
In this talk, I will be discussing the Universal Blue Project. The Universal Blue project builds custom bootable container images via OCI/Docker containers. The project publishes a diverse set of base images and tooling for users to develop their own custom images. We will be explain how the project builds images and why we feel this model is the future of Linux.
As AI adoption accelerates across industries, organizations are seeking infrastructure solutions that meet the unique demands of AI workloads without locking them into proprietary ecosystems. OpenInfra solutions are emerging as a powerful alternative to traditional platforms, enabling scalable, flexible, and cost-efficient AI infrastructure. This expert-led panel will delve into how open source technologies are addressing the infrastructure needs of AI while fostering collaboration and reducing reliance on proprietary systems.
Git is a tool used by millions every day and a core part of any software development workflow. But how does it really work? How does Git actually transfer data to the server? How does it track changes and stores all the data and versions?
In this talk, we’ll take you on a journey through Git’s internals and protocols, sharing what we’ve learned about how Git transfers data over HTTPS, optimizes for storage and speed, and what it’s like to manage a Git server yourself.
UpSCALE is a set of lightening talks held at SCALE, in the style of Ignite presentations. Speakers will get 5 minutes to enlighten the audience. Slides will auto-advance while chosen speakers deliver their message, a brief story of open source deliciousness. The format makes for a fast paced, fun event for participants and audience. Please join us as members of the Free and Open Source community do their best to beat the clock and get their ideas out! Want to be an UpSCaLE speaker?

Adrianna Frick, head of Credentialing and Curriculum for Canonical, will discuss the importance of technical certification to the open source community, while providing information on how technical certification programs are developed. Learn how to spot the difference between certificates, certifications, and skill builders, understand the characteristics of a reputable program, and learn how to create your personal path to success.
We've all probably encountered the following scenario at least once. We start pulling a container, and have to wait a solid 4–5 minutes... Why? Oh, our colleague decided to put all the development and building tools inside the container, making it >5 GB in size. Let me show you a way to construct images that prevent this from happening, and maybe teach you a thing or 2 about Nix in the process.
VALKEY is a superfast in-memory distributed database with clustering, redundancy, and low latency. If you need a cache, then you need to look at VALKEY. The VALKEY project started when REDIS changed from an open-source license to extort money from its community. VALKEY is a much-improved fork of REDIS, and the Linux Foundation supports the project. This session briefly covers the fork's 'why,' explores some exciting new features, and shows you how to start with VALKEY.
Matt and Reza will welcome you to the Kwaai Summit and introduce you to Peronsal AI
