Empowering OSS maintainers in the age of AI
This talk addresses how we attempt to manage the changes to Open Source Maintainership resulting from the Agentic AI approach within the Apache Software Foundation. The Apache Way is About People — AI should free maintainers to do stuff that matters, not replace them; it should empower maintainers in the Age of AI.

Search is Back: Solving the “Context Crisis” for AI Agents
Why do smart agents make dumb mistakes? The culprit is context, an old problem with new solutions. Let’s fast-forward through 20 years of search evolution to fix the missing link in today’s Agentic AI.
We’ll demonstrate how to combine Knowledge Graphs and Vector Search to build reliable, context-aware applications using open-source tools.
Constant-Time Aggregations with Star-Tree in OpenSearch
Discover how OpenSearch breaks linear scaling. Inspired by Apache Pinot, the Star-Tree index moves performance dependency from document count to field cardinality. Learn how we extended Lucene’s DocValues to build multi-dimensional materialized views that deliver sub-second analytics on billion-scale datasets for observability workloads.
Turning the database inside out again
We rethink data systems by putting streams at the center. Expanding on Martin Kleppmann’s: Turning the Database Inside Out, this talk shows how Apache Kafka and Apache Iceberg together provide durable storage, indexing, and rich views that eliminate brittle ETL and unify real-time and historical analysis. A new way to see databases—and streams.
