<h3>Cato Networks &amp; she codes; Meetup for seniors:</h3><h2>Write Code, Think Business</h2><h2>From coding skills to business mindset</h2>Join us for an exciting event where we explore business-driven development. We’ll discuss how to transition from a full-time coder to a holistic business representative. By embracing a mindset focused on accomplishing larger business goals, you can become the rising star of any R&D department. In these two case studies during our event, you’ll understand what is business-driven thinking, and how to look for larger opportunities that move the needle in your company. Our first case study will look at streamlining costs by leveraging off-the-shelf products instead of in-house solutions. The second case study will discuss the importance of UX / UI and Product in driving customer growth and retention. Finally, we’ll also have a bonus speaker who will share what makes a development team great.

<h3>Lecture description #1 When Business Meets Development (And Why Coding Is Only a Successful Career in Software Development)</h3>Cato Network’s development is sunsetting their old client interface in favor of a new interface. But it wasn’t all fun, games and code... What originally started out as a strictly “development” project evolved into an elaborate case study in business management: needing the help of UX and UI designers, Product management and (nearly) the entire dev team.Liron’s “she codes's” Talk will (of course) go under the hood and speak about the exact architectural requirements that necessitated a new client management application.But more than that, she’ll discuss why developers must also become business managers in order to be successful in their career journey. If you’re a hard-core “code only” kind of girl, or aspirations for leadership roles in dev, this talk is a “must,” for your career journey.

<h3>Lecture description #2 How we cut costs by 40% and improved response time by 10x with open source ClickHouse</h3>At Cato Networks, we migrated from ElasticSearch storage to open source ClickHouse. Thanks to this migration, we were able to dramatically reduce costs and maintenance overhead. In our talk, we will describe the migration process, covering the main ClickHouse features we used, explain which optimizations we implemented and describe some of the challenges we had.ClickHouse is an open-source column oriented DBMS for online analytical processing (OLAP). Developed by the Russian IT company Yandex, in 2021 ClickHouse was spun out of Yandex and became a new company, valued at $2 billion USD. After working with ClickHouse for the common use cases of OLAP (ie. network traffic statistics), we were impressed by its great performance and convenience – so we decided to apply it for events as well. While it is not the common usecase for ClickHouse, we used its abilities and leveraged them to match our needs.Overall, ClickHouse reduced our costs and maintenance overhead and also greatly improved performance and user experience: <ul><li>For over 120 fields, 4B events (~2T ) per day - the query response time was reduced from minutes to seconds </li><li>Reduced ~100 nodes in the ES cluster to only 4 nodes – which requires much less maintenance</li></ul>

<h3>(short) Lecture description #3 Career Development Masterclass for Engineers</h3>As the group leader of the largest engineer group at Cato Networks, Rotem will walk you through the qualities that make for a successful engineer (hint: it’s not just how clean your code is, although that always helps. 😊) In this live interview, hosted by Ella Fischer, Cato Networks Delivery Lead, you’ll understand how to look at the big picture of development projects, how to successfully work with product teams and all the right questions you need to ask. Learn all this and what top R&D managers look for when hiring star talent, to get the edge on other developers in the field.
