Last year, the Sysdsgn community ran a book club where we went through Database Internals chapter by chapter on Discord📚 We recently found the recordings, and they’re too good not to share😅 Over the next few weeks, we’ll upload them to YouTube and post updates here. Stay tuned!

Ch. 9: Failure Detection is now live now available to watch! In this session, @chidiwilliams__ takes us through Chapter 9 of @therealdatabass. We discuss how distributed systems detect failure and reach consensus when nodes go dark. We review concepts like heartbeats and pings, gossip between neighbours, and how systems move from binary detection to probabilistic, history-aware failure accrual. 🎥Watch on YouTube → youtu.be/ucgas9rMgxM

We’re excited to announce Ayomide Oyekanmi @_alternatewolf as a speaker at SysConf 2025! His talk is titled “The SysDsgn Ethos”. This is a talk that goes to the roots of why @sysdsgn was created by Ayo, Chidi (@chidiwilliams__) & Bayo (@mazibayo), the goals they are trying to achieve, and how programs like @sysconf_ & @sdsaprogram move the needle towards those goals. One of such goals is to elevate engineering excellence in our ecosystem and beyond. The talk will explore excellence means and how engineers can embody it, leaving attendees with both an ideal to aspire to and practical steps to get there.

Ayomide Oyekanmi is a Senior SRE TL at Google. He will speak at SysConf 2025 on Nov 8th, 2025. His talk is titled “The SysDsgn Ethos”. You can register for the conference at http://events.ringcentral.com/events/sysconf-2025.

We’re excited to announce Paul Oamen @po_oamen as a speaker at SysConf 2025! His talk is titled “Trustless Federated Learning at Edge Scale". Today’s leading AI labs train their models in centralized data centers. Paul believes that tomorrow’s models will be trained on billions of independent edge devices. He’s spent time researching this topic and has written a paper (in-review) which will be the basis of this talk at SysConf. In this this talk he presents a proposed trustless federated learning architecture that uses the blockchain, cryptographic receipts and geometric novelty to enable large-scale, verifiable and incentive-aligned AI training across untrusted edge devices.

Paul Oamen an AI Researcher and the CTO of MyAI. He will speak at SysConf 2025 on Nov 8th, 2025. His talk is titled “Trustless Federated Learning at Edge Scale”. You can register for the conference at http://events.ringcentral.com/events/sysconf-2025.

We’re excited to announce Justin Irabor as a speaker at SysConf 2025! His talk is titled “How to Develop Intuition About AI Agents, or Introduction to Graph Theory". Most developers encounter AI agents as black boxes wrapped in framework abstractions. After debugging enough agent loops, timeout spirals, and inexplicable tool-calling failures, a pattern emerged: agents are just graphs. You import a framework, chain some prompts together, maybe add a vector database, and hope it works. But when it breaks—and it will—you're left guessing. In this talk, Justin reframes AI agents through the lens of graph theory, giving you a mental model that makes agent behavior predictable and debuggable.

Justin is an Agentic AI Software Engineer at IU International University of Applied Sciences. He will speak at SysConf 2025 on Nov 8th, 2025. His talk is titled “How to Develop Intuition About AI Agents, or Introduction to Graph Theory”. You can register for the conference at http://events.ringcentral.com/events/sysconf-2025.

We’re excited to announce Temi Babs @iamtemibabs as a speaker at SysConf 2025! His talk is titled “Building Africa’s Voice Stack". In this talk, Temi dives into the architecture, tooling, and developer ecosystem behind Africa’s growing voice-AI infrastructure. He will discuss how to build and scale speech-to-text, translation, and text-to-speech systems for under-represented languages; including data collection, model design, latency optimization, and API usability. Attendees will learn how developer platforms like Spitch (@spitch_app) are enabling a new wave of applications—from call centre automation to content dubbing—all powered by African languages. The goal is to raise the bar for local AI systems that are as fast, reliable, and developer-friendly as global equivalents.

Temi Babs is the Founder of Spitch. He will speak at SysConf 2025 on Nov 8th, 2025. His talk is titled “Building Africa’s Voice Stack”. You can register for the conference at http://events.ringcentral.com/events/sysconf-2025.
