**Hello, fellow DevOps enthusiasts 🤓** On **February 19th**, we'll meet again for a couple of insightful talks, hosted by **[Allianz Technology Spain](https://tech.allianz.com/)**! 📍**Location**: Avda Icària 199\, Barcelona \| [https://maps.app.goo.gl/sijgHEbtZC9yEx1b6](https://maps.app.goo.gl/sijgHEbtZC9yEx1b6) \-\-\-\-\-\- 📅 **Agenda** * **18:30 - 18:40** Welcome from the hosts * **18:45 - 19:30** Beyond Docker Builds: Declarative, Reproducible and Secure OCI Containers with Nix * **19:30 - 20:15** How to operate and scale 72 Kubernetes clusters in 12 regions worldwide * **20:15 - 21:00** Networking & Snacks \-\-\-\-\-\- **🎤 Talks & Speakers** * **Title: Beyond Docker Builds: Declarative, Reproducible and Secure OCI Containers with Nix** * **Speaker**: [Arik Grahl](https://www.linkedin.com/in/arikgrahl/) - *Senior Software Engineer at [SysEleven GmbH](https://www.syseleven.de)* * **Duration**: 30-45 mins * **Abstract**: The Open Container Initiative (OCI) standardized the foundation of cloud-native infrastructure. However, most build systems lack determinism due to network access during builds, leading to non-reproducible artifacts and complicating software supply chain security (SSCS). While OCI supports layering for storage and cache efficiency, reflecting shared dependencies across artifacts remains complex. Nix, as a package manager, enables declarative and reproducible builds in hermetic, network-isolated sandboxes, requiring all dependencies to be specified up front for long-term reproducibility. Dependencies are treated as first-class citizens, making it easy to generate accurate Software Bill of Materials. With dockerTools in the Nix standard library, these benefits reach the OCI ecosystem. This talk highlights the advantages of fully declarative, reproducible OCI builds with Nix, offering deep insights and benefits to SSCS. Let’s not just build containers, let’s declare them reproducibly! * **About**: Arik Grahl is a Senior Software Engineer living between Berlin and Barcelona having more than 13 years of experience in full-stack development and operation of infrastructure on bare metal. At the moment he mainly develops Golang applications close to Kubernetes and the broader cloud native ecosystem. Furthermore, he is excited about everything evolving around Nix(OS) and enjoy contributing to Nixpkgs. *** * **Title: How to operate and scale 72 Kubernetes clusters in 12 regions worldwide** * **Speaker**: [Josef Rosel](https://www.linkedin.com/in/josef-christoph-rosel/) - *Senior Cloud Engineer at [Dynatrace](https://www.dynatrace.com)* * **Duration**: 30-45 mins * **Abstract**: Managing global infrastructure across multiple cloud providers is complex, requiring robust architecture and automation. This session explores proven strategies and tools (OpenTofu, ArgoCD, ArgoWF, Helm, Renovate) for operating large-scale multi-cloud environments, including Kubernetes orchestration, GitOps-driven workflows, and automated dependency management. * **About**: Josef Rosel is in DevOps for over a decade, originally from Austria and in Barcelona for two years. Started out with Docker, Mesos, Ansible in a private OpenStack, went over to Azure Devops and RKE to end up in Dynatrace working on both internal, build, test and product clusters. \-\-\-\-\-\- 🔑 **Important Access Note** Our host requires the attendees to provide their ID to grant us access to their offices. **Do not forget to fill in the "NIF - NIE - Passport" field** when registering!

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** *Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit: From Intent to Implementation* Spec-driven development flips the traditional workflow on its head: instead of code being the source of truth, the specification becomes the backbone of design, collaboration, and delivery. In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects. **YouTube Link** TBA

Projects that are over budget, delayed, or that fail to scale past the POC phase are very common. In many of these scenarios, choosing the right approach can be as critical as the solution itself. Should you build a tailored machine learning model, leverage the power of large language models (LLMs), or integrate with AI copilots? Each option has unique strengths, trade-offs, and resource requirements, and the key to success lies in aligning your choice with your business goals and technical constraints. In this talk, we will go beyond the basic concepts and definitions to provide a practical guide that allows attendees to navigate these decisions through real-world case studies. We will examine scenarios in which different AI paradigms were chosen, discuss the factors that influenced those decisions, and outline the process for evaluating needs, constraints, and outcomes. From assessing data availability and team expertise to balancing cost and scalability, you'll gain insights into the critical considerations that guide the selection process. By the end of this session, you’ll have a clear process for determining whether machine learning, LLMs, or copilots are best suited to your AI challenges and understand the resources and strategies needed to bring your chosen solution to life. This talk is ideal for decision-makers, technical leads, and innovators seeking to demystify AI implementation and maximize the impact of their investments.
