About us
This is a group for anybody interested in Big Data: what it means, what tools are there and how to use them, how others are analyzing the data and what is the value they get out of it. Meetups will be both socializing and learning ones. If you are interested about the topic join us.

Guardrails for Agentic Data Access
·HybridAmazon Development Center Bucuresti, Bulevardul Dimitrie Pompeiu, București, Romania, București, ROIf it’s October, then it’s Big Data Week in Bucharest, which means it’s time for our annual BDW meetup. This year, the evening is powered by Cloudera and supported by AWS. We’re staying close to the conference’s data and AI thread, with talks from eMAG and AWS on the architecture behind agentic access to enterprise data, without breaking the security model.
**Join us at the Amazon Development Center. Meetup lists the event as hybrid by default; the evening itself is in the room. Meetup RSVP is not enough to get in. You also need to register on the Cloudera event page — that’s what actually secures your spot. A Big Data Week Conference ticket is not required.**
Putting an AI agent in front of your data is the easy part. The hard part is everything underneath: who the agent is, what it can reach, what happens when it decides to act, and what stops it when the model gets it wrong. Georgiana Conete and Mihai Rez walk through eMAG's Cloudera platform and the MCP layer that lets users query Impala in natural language without stepping outside the permissions already enforced. Radu Dobrinescu then maps the layers that make agent autonomy defensible — least-privilege identity, gateway authorization, human approval on destructive actions, guardrails, and audit — each to a real failure it prevents. George Stan brings the production operations perspective, exploring what happens after an agent gains production access: how its actions are controlled, monitored, and kept from becoming operational incidents.
