🎙️ Talks description

Why you may want a HomeLab
Speaker: Semyon Bessonov, Senior Data Scientist, Raiffeisen Bank
A "HomeLab" typically refers to a setup where individuals create a small-scale version of a professional IT or laboratory environment within their own home. It's often used for experimentation, learning, and testing purposes. In this talk, Semyon will present why running a HomeLab can be a both fun hobby and useful playground for work.

An Illustrated Introduction: Containers and Kubernetes Unveiled
Speaker: Ella Polo, Software Engineer, Zooplus
In this talk, we’ll demystify cloud computing concepts using visual metaphors— a fancy way to say using drawings! From the historical context of app management to the modern magic of containers and Kubernetes, we'll explore how apps are run and maintained today in a entertaining, artistic way. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or someone who thinks “Kubernetes” sounds like a mythical creature, this talk's illustrations will bridge the gap between abstract cloud concepts and practical understanding.

Please note that the talks will be conducted in English, and everyone with an interest in technology is welcome to attend.

See you there!
