MUG Night: For the Love of Databases, DevOps & Design

Time to get our hands dirty with the tech that actually powers our apps!
While everyone's been busy teaching their chatbots to write poetry, we thought it'd be fun to dive back into the nuts and bolts that keep our applications humming. Join us for an evening of solid technical content, great networking, and maybe a few war stories about databases that went rogue.
Whether you're wrestling with slow queries, planning your next scaling adventure, or just want to hang out with fellow MongoDB enthusiasts, this meetup is for you!

## 📅 Agenda (6:00 PM - 8:30 PM)

6:00 - 6:30 PM | Networking & Pizza 🍕
Grab some food, meet fellow developers, and share your latest MongoDB victories (or defeats)

6:30 - 7:15 PM | Database Performance Tuning: From Idea to Scale
Performance lead engineer Ger Hartnett takes us through performance tuning patterns and best practices. Learn how to scale from idea to product-market fit while keeping costs sane and technical debt at bay. Interactive session with real-world examples!

7:15 - 7:45 PM | [Open Slot - Call for Proposals!]
Got something MongoDB-related to share? We'd love to hear from you! Submit your talk proposal - could be anything from schema design patterns to deployment strategies, indexing tricks, or that time you accidentally dropped prod (we've all been there).

7:45 - 8:30 PM | Open Discussion & More Networking
Stick around for informal Q&A, more networking, and spontaneous technical debates
