Cut Database Infra with Self-Tuning Caching
Tuesday, August 18, 2026 · 8:00 AM PT
Most teams treat database performance as a part-time job. Scale up when reads get expensive, or hand-build a cache your team maintains forever. Either way the fix decays as traffic shifts, and the cost starts climbing again. One path shows up on the cloud bill, the other in engineering time pulled away from shipping.
There's a third option. When caching moves into your infrastructure and continuously tunes itself, you get more throughput from hardware you already own, without spending engineering hours maintaining cache logic. Steve Francis and Vinicius Grippa will show you what that looks like live in a 25 minute session with a demo and Q&A.
What we'll cover
- Why database costs keep rising, and why more hardware isn't the answer
- How to eliminate invalidation logic, TTL tuning, and ongoing cache maintenance
- How self-tuning caching keeps performance gains from degrading as traffic shifts
