Florin Bădiță is an independent builder and founder based in Arad, Romania. He is the creator of DomainScope, an AI-powered domain intelligence platform indexing 15M+ domains across 177 markets, and ServerClaw, an open-source infrastructure-as-code platform with 160+ Ansible roles. A Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe honoree and TEDx speaker, he served as Tech Director at the Davos House of Collaboration 2026 and is active in the MCP ecosystem via 0mcp.com. His engineering stack centers on Go, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, and AI-assisted development workflows — he shipped four production systems and logged over 1,000 Architecture Decision Records in a single month using AI-augmented engineering, and now teaches that methodology through his ADR-Driven Development masterclass. Beyond engineering, he founded Corupția Ucide, Romania's largest civic accountability movement, and has used 8,000+ FOIA requests as a data-journalism collaborator with RISE Project/OCCRP.

Classifying 12 Million Domains with LLMs Without Going Bankrupt: An AI-Augmented Enrichment Pipeline
Anyone can call an LLM on one row. The hard part is calling it on twelve million domains, across 77 country markets at a cost and latency that lets you actually run a SaaS business on top of the results. This session is a deep technical walkthrough of how DomainScope built a production enrichment pipeline that uses LLMs as a classification and extraction engine, turning raw, multilingual web data into structured market positioning, ecosystem maps, and concentration signals.
We will cover: the Go architecture that fans out millions of jobs across a fleet of 150 microservices; why we only use LLMs for tasks they excel at, and then use LLMs in a loop to iteratively build the ultimate CPU-only microservices for everything else, cutting recurring inference costs to near zero; how a shared fleet-wide cache allows a single scraped page to be reused across all 150 services instead of re-fetching or re-processing per job; the prompt-evaluation loop that lets us safely swap models without regressing 12M existing rows; and the credit-metering API design that exposes this externally without leaking the cost structure.
Attendees leave with a concrete pattern for designing AI-powered data APIs where the LLM is an internal tool, not the product, including the failure modes, retry topology, observability (Prometheus + Grafana), and idempotency guarantees that make the pipeline survive provider outages and rate limits in production.

API World Roundtable: Florin Badita, Founder, DomainScope
API World Roundtables / CloudX Roundtables / AI TechWorld Roundtables give attendees the opportunity to meet in small groups with API World + CloudX + AI TechWorld speakers and industry leaders to discuss real-world topics relevant to you. These open roundtables are working sessions for in-depth industry conversations.
150 microservices. SERP lookups. 2 LLM calls per record. €0.0001 all-in for one.
That’s the real cost of my production pipeline for DomainScope, running live, classifying 12.1M+ domains, not a demo.
This Roundtable is the practical follow-up to my talk: how to architect and operate a multi-step AI system (search + agents + LLMs + microservices) at this cost level without your infra bill scaling faster than your business. Bring your pipeline or your infra bill & I’ll help you think it through on the whiteboard.
I build this kind of infrastructure professionally, so if you’re weighing build vs. bring-someone-in, this is a good room to be in.
