    PlatforMa 2026 | Oren Efraim from Check Point - AI Floods The Gate

    Join us as we explore what happens when AI generates vulnerabilities faster than any human can review them! In this episode, Oren Efraim, Technology Leader at Check Point (and leader of the 10,000-member Node.js Israel community), explains why security has to become a first-class part of your platform — not a gate at the end. Discover why 2025's ~50,000 new vulnerabilities are heading toward 100,000, why Check Point's research shows 96% of exploited vulnerabilities aren't even new, and why a CVSS score of 9.9 tells you almost nothing without context.

Developers know the logic, platform people know the exposure, product people know what the business can't afford to lose — plus detecting drift between what's defined and what's actually running We're recording live from the Platforma 2026 conference in Tel Aviv, featuring fascinating discussions on AI and more.Join our exclusive DevOps Leaders community with over 300 members, where we share knowledge and improve together.

    PlatforMa 2026 | Erik Parienty from Riskified - The Second Revolution

    What if, in five years, the system builds itself — a product manager describes what they want, an architect agent inspects the existing codebase, and the feature gets written without a traditional dev team in the loop? In this episode, Erik Parienty, Director of DevOps Engineering at Riskified, lays out that future and what it means for the people running infrastructure today. Erik has spent 7 years scaling Riskified's DevOps from a 6-person team through the company's IPO, and he's been in the field since long before the word "DevOps" existed — which gives him a rare long-lens view on what he calls the discipline's "second revolution." Erik Parienty on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/erik-parienty Miki Manor on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikimanor/ Ofir Stein on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ofir-stein/ DevOps Leaders - https://www.linkedin.com/company/devops-leaders-il/posts/?feedView=all Key takeaways: The "second revolution": the first wave standardized CI/CD and Kubernetes — the next automates the entire SDLC and PDLC, from the product idea forward The future org chart: a product manager talks to an architect agent that reads your system and decides whether to customize what exists or build something new Stop blaming the model — Erik's reframe: "if you told it and it didn't do it, you don't understand it." The agent is a tool; agent literacy is the new Google search The rise of the one-person company — why you no longer need to raise a round to build, and why (like the Google panic) revolutions create more work, not less The FinOps cautionary tale: an agent insists your $2M Kubernetes cluster costs $50, because it pulled context from a random server tagged "kubernetes" Where DevOps still wins: human adaptability. The communication skills we use with people are exactly what make someone good at operating agents The coming open-source agent ecosystem — git clone a community-maintained agent, run it locally, and it just does the work, the way we run Karpenter and cluster-autoscaler today The measurement problem nobody's solved: from counting lines of code at Amdocs to counting tokens — and what that says about productivity What AI still can't touch — infrastructure. Root-cause analysis across distributed systems is the real frontier, well beyond today's self-healing watchdogs We're recording live from the PlatforMa conference in Tel Aviv, featuring fascinating discussions on AI and more.

    PlatforMa 2026 | Amit Daniel from DoorLoop - CI/CD at AI Speed

    Join us as we explore what happens to your pipeline when AI turns every developer into a 10x builder! In this episode, Amit Daniel, Director of DevOps at DoorLoop, shares how a fast-moving Israeli proptech went from 40 to 300–500 pull requests a day — and how his team fought back against cloud costs that exploded 5-6x overnight. Discover why writing code fast is no longer the challenge but writing it efficiently is, where humans must stay in the loop when "the suspect is also the victim," and how DoorLoop built an internal platform that lets HR and Finance ship to production safely.
