The Future of Product Management in AI ERA.pdf
The Future of Product Management in AI ERA.pdfAlyona Owens Hi, I’m Aly Owens, I have a special pleasure to stand here as over a decade ago I graduated from CityU as an international student with an MBA program. I enjoyed the diversity of the school, ability to work and study, the network that came with being here, and of course the price tag for students here has always been more affordable than most around.
Since then I have worked for major corporations like T-Mobile and Microsoft and many more, and I have founded a startup. I've also been teaching product management to ensure my students save time and money to get to the same level as me faster avoiding popular mistakes. Today as I’ve transitioned to teaching and focusing on the startup, I hear everybody being concerned about Ai stealing their jobs… We’ll talk about it shortly.
But before that, I want to take you back to 1997. One of my favorite movies is “Fifth Element”. It wowed me with futuristic predictions when I was a kid and I’m impressed by the number of these predictions that have already come true. Self-driving cars, video calls and smart TV, personalized ads and identity scanning. Sci-fi movies and books gave us many ideas and some are being implemented as we speak. But we often get ahead of ourselves:
Flying cars,Colonized planets, Human-like AI: not yet, Time travel, Mind-machine neural interfaces for everyone: Only in experimental stages (e.g. Neuralink).
Cyberpunk dystopias: Some vibes (neon signs + inequality + surveillance), but not total dystopia (thankfully).
On the bright side, we predict that the working hours should drop as Ai becomes our helper and there shouldn’t be a need to work 8 hours/day. Nobody knows for sure but we can require that from legislation. Instead of waiting to see what the government and billionaires come up with, I say we should design our own future.
So, we as humans, when we don’t know something - fear takes over. The same thing happened during the industrial revolution. In the Industrial Era, machines didn’t steal jobs—they transformed them but people were scared about their jobs. The AI era is making similar changes except it feels like robots will take the center stage instead of a human. First off, even when it comes to the hottest space in the military - drones, Ai does a fraction of work. AI algorithms enable real-time decision-making, obstacle avoidance, and mission optimization making drones far more autonomous and capable than traditional remote-controlled aircraft. Key technologies include computer vision for object detection, GPS-enhanced navigation, and neural networks for learning and adaptation. But guess what? There are only 2 companies right now that utilize Ai in drones to make autonomous decisions - Skydio and DJI.
From Manual to Auto Searching- FME in the Driver's Seat
From Manual to Auto Searching- FME in the Driver's SeatSafe Software Finding a specific car online can be a time-consuming task, especially when checking multiple dealer websites. A few years ago, I faced this exact problem while searching for a particular vehicle in New Zealand. The local classified platform, Trade Me (similar to eBay), wasn’t yielding any results, so I expanded my search to second-hand dealer sites—only to realise that periodically checking each one was going to be tedious. That’s when I noticed something interesting: many of these websites used the same platform to manage their inventories. Recognising this, I reverse-engineered the platform’s structure and built an FME workspace that automated the search process for me. By integrating API calls and setting up periodic checks, I received real-time email alerts when matching cars were listed. In this presentation, I’ll walk through how I used FME to save hours of manual searching by creating a custom car-finding automation system. While FME can’t buy a car for you—yet—it can certainly help you find the one you’re after!

"How to survive Black Friday: preparing e-commerce for a peak season", Yurii ...Fwdays We will explore how e-commerce projects prepare for the busiest time of the year, which key aspects to focus on, and what to expect. We’ll share our experience in setting up auto-scaling, load balancing, and discuss the loads that Silpo handles, as well as the solutions that help us navigate this season without failures.
9-1-1 Addressing: End-to-End Automation Using FME
9-1-1 Addressing: End-to-End Automation Using FMESafe Software This session will cover a common use case for local and state/provincial governments who create and/or maintain their 9-1-1 addressing data, particularly address points and road centerlines. In this session, you'll learn how FME has helped Shelby County 9-1-1 (TN) automate the 9-1-1 addressing process; including automatically assigning attributes from disparate sources, on-the-fly QAQC of said data, and reporting. The FME logic that this presentation will cover includes: Table joins using attributes and geometry, Looping in custom transformers, Working with lists and Change detection.

"Database isolation: how we deal with hundreds of direct connections to the d...Fwdays What can go wrong if you allow each service to access the database directly? In a startup, this seems like a quick and easy solution, but as the system scales, problems appear that no one could have guessed.
In my talk, I'll share Solidgate's experience in transforming its architecture: from the chaos of direct connections to a service-based data access model. I will talk about the transition stages, bottlenecks, and how isolation affected infrastructure support. I will honestly show what worked and what didn't. In short, we will analyze the controversy of this talk.

" How to survive with 1 billion vectors and not sell a kidney: our low-cost c...Fwdays Let's talk about our history. How we started the project with a small vector database of less than 2 million records. Later, we received a request for +100 million records, then another +100... And so gradually we reached almost 1 billion. Standard tools were quickly running out of steam - we were running into performance, index size, and very limited resources. After a long series of trials and errors, we built our own low-cost cluster, which today stably processes thousands of queries to more than 1B vectors.

"Scaling in space and time with Temporal", Andriy Lupa.pdfFwdays Design patterns like Event Sourcing and Event Streaming have long become standards for building real-time analytics systems. However, when the system load becomes nonlinear with fast and often unpredictable spikes, it's crucial to respond quickly in order not to lose real-time operating itself.
In this talk, I’ll share my experience implementing and using a tool like Temporal.io. We'll explore the evolution of our system for maintaining real-time report generation and discuss how we use Temporal both for short-lived pipelines and long-running background tasks.
