Afterwards, my topic was approved by our higher-ups, because it was more related to web technologies and fit the general theme of the conference better than the other topics. And the rest is history.
As for the takeaways, I wanted to show the audience that it is possible - and very exciting! - to build a system that can handle so much data, but is still easy to maintain. Not only is it possible, but we're actually doing it here at ReversingLabs, and it's working really well for us.
Indeed - your talk provided a really informative insight into how we deal with data at ReversingLabs. Is there anything you would like to change or improve when it comes to the way in which ReversingLabs currently manages its storage?
Josip: The system we've set up is currently stable, and we haven't encountered any major problems so far. As our storage size continues to grow, we might see some problems. When that happens, certain changes and improvements could become necessary.
Was this your first time speaking at a conference? How would you describe the experience?
Josip: Yes, it was, but I've spoken in front of large audiences before, so I wasn't as nervous as I thought I'd be. Still, I was a little bit worried, but I'm generally happy with how it went. I didn't forget any words, which is great!

Have you attended WebCamp Zagreb before? How does this year's edition of the conference compare to the previous ones?
Josip: I've attended before; in fact, this was my third time at WebCamp Zagreb. The content of the conference - talks and topics - has retained its quality, but some things have changed. The food was much better this year! And you could really notice that the organization has improved; the volunteers were well-prepared and the whole thing didn't seem as chaotic as before.
Which of this year's talks at WebCamp Zagreb was your favorite (apart from your own :))?
Josip: The one right after mine - "Microservices in production: a case study" by Marin Prcela. We've done quite a bit of work related to microservices in the past three or four years, so it was interesting to see how others do it - what's their approach, how to make scalability easier... It was also interesting to realize that we at ReversingLabs actually do some things in a simpler way than the business described in the case study!
Let's say some of your colleagues from ReversingLabs want to speak at a conference. Do you have any advice to give them?
Josip: Yes - it's never too early to start practicing for your talk. Start speaking in front of a "test" audience as early as you can. Also, start with a lot of content. Make your presentation longer than your allocated time. Based on feedback from your test audience, you can easily take things out. That way you'll also have more things to talk about when you get questions from the audience at the conference.
Sounds like reasonable advice. Thank you for the talk and for this interview, Josip!
The annual cybersecurity conference focused on frontier AI agents — and what they mean for cyber. Here are three key takeaways.
Researchers built a worm that reasons about hosts it infects, and the open-weight models powering it sit outside AI-provider safety controls.
While prompt injection and data disclosure remain concerns, excessive agency climbed the list — not surprising with recent security incidents.
