​**Mastering nodes, integrations, debugging, and deployment through a real-world AI content automation project — Moein Foroughi**

​In this hands-on workshop, we’ll go beyond drag-and-drop demos — exploring how **n8n** really works under the hood, how to connect it with external APIs and databases, debug complex flows, and manage production-grade deployments.

​Along the way, we’ll build a real, functional project: an **AI-assisted article writer** that integrates search, scraping, and structured data storage. This project serves as a practical example to apply every key concept of n8n — from node logic and credentials management to error handling, scaling, and containerisation.

​We’ll cover the following steps:

* ​How n8n works and how to use its core nodes effectively
* ​Connecting n8n with APIs, databases, and external tools
* ​Building and troubleshooting real workflows
* ​Setting up n8n with Docker and basic deployment tips
* ​Creating a simple AI-powered SEO article writer as a hands-on project

​By the end, you’ll know how to build and run powerful n8n workflows that connect seamlessly with modern AI tools, data systems and tools.

​**Level:**
​Beginner to Intermediate — basic familiarity with Docker, Linux, and modern AI tools will help you get the most out of the session, but all key concepts will be introduced from first principles.
​

​**About the speaker:**

​**Moein Foroughi** is a DevOps engineer focused on automation and scalable systems, with a professional interest in applying AI and modern technologies to improve engineering workflows and operational efficiency.

n8n: From Fundamentals to Building Intelligent Automation Pipeline

Online event

Alexey Grigorev is hosting a live hands-on workshop to explore how Docker can simplify your data workflows, from setting up databases to packaging your scripts for reproducibility.
​This session is open to everyone interested in learning practical Docker skills for data engineering and analytics.
​During the workshop, we’ll walk through a complete workflow using Docker, PostgreSQL, pgAdmin, and Docker Compose, showing how to run and connect multiple services with minimal setup effort.
​
​What you’ll learn:

* ​Why Docker is essential for modern data work
* ​Running PostgreSQL in a Docker container and connecting it to your local environment
* ​Connecting with pgcli or directly from Jupyter notebooks
* ​Loading and exploring the NYC Taxi dataset
* ​Managing databases visually with pgAdmin 4 (latest UI)
* ​Converting notebooks to scripts and Dockerizing them
* ​Running multi-container setups with Docker Compose
* ​Understanding Docker networking, port mapping, and volumes

​The workshop will be recorded and later used to refresh the Docker module of the [Data Engineering Zoomcamp](https://datatalks.club/blog/data-engineering-zoomcamp.html), so you’ll also get a preview of what’s coming in the new course release.
​
​**Thinking about DE Zoomcamp?**

Docker for Data Engineering: Postgres, Docker Compose, and Real-World Workflows

How modern ML workflows evolve from human-supervised pipelines to scalable, agent-driven feedback loops — with concrete examples and real-world transitions.

​Outline:

1. ​**Human-in-the-Loop (HITL): Foundations and Limitations**
* ​What HITL means in practice (guided feedback loops, evaluation, corrections).
* ​Key limitations: scalability, latency, reasoning gaps, context sensitivity.
* ​Where HITL still shines: accuracy, safety, human effectiveness.
2. ​**Agent-in-the-Loop (AITL): The Next Evolution Step**
* ​What changes when agents become active participants in the loop.
* ​Architectural view: planning, tool-use, continuous improvement, automation.
* ​Strengths: adaptivity, speed, scalable labeling, generalization.
3. ​**Real-World Comparison & When Each Paradigm Wins**
* ​HITL vs AITL across accuracy, trust, cost, transparency, and scalability.
* ​HITL-critical domains: medical, autonomous driving, manufacturing.
* ​AITL-favored areas: fraud detection, recommender systems, logistics.
4. ​**Transition & Future Outlook**
* ​Human-in-the-loop → human-on-the-loop → human-over-the-loop.
* ​Hybrid approaches combining human judgment with agent autonomy.

**Exploring open source profitability and small language models – Aditya Gautam**

​Aditya Gautam has built his career at the intersection of AI research, large-scale deployment, and public discourse. With experience at Google, Meta, and leading academic conferences, he works on large language models, AI agents, and responsible AI at scale.

​In this episode, Aditya explores the debates around open-source AI, the economics behind LLMs, and the barriers enterprises face when adopting AI agents. He also shares his perspective on the rise of small language models and what these shifts mean for the future of AI.

​We plan to cover:

* ​Open-source AI: democratization and risks
* ​The economics of LLMs and the challenge of profitability
* ​Why enterprises struggle to adopt AI agents in practice
* ​The role of small language models in efficiency and cost reduction
* ​Emerging trends in AI research and deployment
