Session Overview

Learn how modern AI platforms scale with real-time streaming infrastructure. Discover lessons from Kafka and Flink at production scale supporting AI systems like ChatGPT and Sora.

Modern AI systems demand more than just scalable compute — they require real-time streaming pipelines that are fast, reliable, and adaptable to continuous model updates.

In this talk, learn how a fast-moving AI company transformed its streaming infrastructure from simple durable queues into an intelligent backbone powering both production workloads and research at scale.

Key topics include:

  • Scaling Kafka and Flink for high-throughput AI workloads
  • Supporting complex AI products like ChatGPT and Sora
  • Leveraging abstraction, automation, and observability to maintain resilience during 5× quarterly growth
  • Lessons in building streaming infrastructure as the nervous system of modern AI platforms

Whether you’re building AI systems, data infrastructure, or research pipelines, this session provides actionable insights into how streaming drives real-time intelligence and enables rapid innovation.
