Be Part of Something BIG – Speak at Monster Scale Summit

A little sneak peek at something massive: a new virtual conference on extreme-scale engineering!

Whether you’re designing, implementing, or optimizing systems that are pushed to their limits, we’d love to hear about your most impressive achievements and lessons learned – at Monster Scale Summit 2025.

What’s Monster Scale Summit?

Monster Scale Summit is a technical conference that connects the community of professionals working on performance-sensitive data-intensive applications. Engineers, architects, and SREs from gamechangers around the globe will be gathering virtually to explore “monster scale” challenges with respect to extreme levels of throughput, data, and global distribution.

It’s a lot like P99 CONF (also hosted by ScyllaDB) – a two-day event that’s free, fully virtual, and highly interactive. The core difference is that it’s focused on extreme-scale engineering vs. all things performance.

We just opened the call for speakers, and the lineup already includes engineers from Slack, Salesforce, VISA, American Express, ShareChat, Cloudflare, and Disney. Keynotes include Gwen Sharpira, Chris Riccomini, and Martin Kleppman (Designing Data Intensive Applications).

What About ScyllaDB Summit?

You might already be familiar with ScyllaDB Summit. Monster Scale Summit is the next evolution of that conference. We’re scaling it up and out to bring attendees more – and broader – insights on designing, implementing, and optimizing performance-sensitive data-intensive applications.

But don’t worry – ScyllaDB and sea monsters will still be featured prominently throughout the event. And speakers will get sea monster plushies as part of the swag pack. 😉

 

Details please!

When: March 11 + 12

Where: Wherever you’d like! It’s intentionally virtual, so you can present and interact with attendees from anywhere around the world.

Topics: Core topics include:

  • Distributed databases
  • Streaming and real-time processing
  • Intriguing system designs
  • Approaches to a massive scaling challenge
  • Methods for balancing latency/concurrency/throughput
  • SRE techniques proven at scale
  • Infrastructure built for unprecedented demands.

What we’re looking for: We welcome a broad spectrum of talks about tackling the challenges that arise in the most massive, demanding environments. The conference prioritizes technical talks sharing first-hand experiences. Sessions are just 15-20 minutes – so consider this your TED Talk debut!
