Clean Code Myths & The FDAP Stack
**โจ ๐ Clean Code Myths & The FDAP Stack ๐ โจ**
We are back for the 2026 season with a brand new meetup hosted by our friends at **Fiscozen**. To kick off the year, we are diving deep into two critical topics: challenging the dogmas of software design and exploring the cutting edge of data architecture.
We will start by questioning if "Clean Code" is always the right answer (and what it costs you in performance). Then, we will see how modern systems move data at high speeds with the "FDAP" stack: Flight, DataFusion, Arrow, and Parquet.
**Agenda**
* ๐ **18:30** Doors Open
* ๐งผ **19:00** Talk: โWrite Clean Codeโ and how youโre going to think it twice with Giulio Davide Carparelli
* ๐น **19:50** Talk: FDAP Stack: High-Performance Data Architecture based on Apache Arrow with Emanuele Domingo & Giacomo Rossi
* ๐ป After the meetup we will organize a dinner close to the venue, anybody who wants to join is welcome!
๐ **Venue**: Fiscozen, Via Roncaglia 12, Milano MI (Bolivar M4, De Angeli M1)
๐บ The event will be **recorded and streamed** on Python Milano Youtube channel (links will appear [here](https://www.youtube.com/@pythonmilano/streams) close to the event)
๐งน๐ง **โWrite Clean Codeโ and how youโre going to think it twice**
What if, after many year spent on believing in Clean Code as a religion, you discover that Clean Code itself has its weaknesses? In this talk, we are going to discover how much it can affect performance.
The goal of the talk is not to make people think "Clean Code is trash" (spoiler: it's not) but to let people learn to always question what can sound as unquestionable truths.
**Giulio Davide Carparelli,** **Software Engineer @ Fiscozen**
I'm a music nerd and Green Day lover. My passion for developing starts at the young age of thirteen, after seeing a small Javascript demonstration at the local high school. I'm a Software Engineer from 4 years, mostly skilled in TypeScript and Python.
๐นโ๏ธ **FDAP Stack: High-Performance Data Architecture based on Apache Arrow**
Take a tour through the FDAP technology stack: Flight, DataFusion, Arrow, and Parquet. Itโs a modern, cloud-friendly approach to building data systems that move and process information quickly and efficiently. In this talk, weโll break down how these tools fit together and show how Arrowโs columnar format makes it possible to stream data between services at high speed, without extra copying or memory overhead.
**Emanuele Domingo, Technical Product Owner @ Hiop**
Graduated in Computer Science, I was hire #1 at Hiop. I started as an intern in a newly founded startup, working first as a frontend developer on the POC, then moving to the backend with Python and AWS. Nowadays, I manage feature development for Hiopโs core product, Jump.
**Giacomo Rossi, Software Engineer @ Hiop**
Graduated in Computer Science & Engineering, I joined Hiop one year ago. I work as a Software Engineer with a strong focus on Data Engineering, designing and building data architectures on AWS using Jump, our core platform. Alongside this, I contribute to the development and evolution of Hiopโs tool, working across backend, infrastructure, and platform components.

## What weโre about
Buongiorno a tutti. Sono proprietario di un bar e dispongo di un tavolo da biliardo semi-professionale. Sto creando un gruppo WhatsApp di giocatori amatoriali di biliardo americano pool/carambola, per la maggior parte debuttanti. Cerco persone disposte a unirsi al gruppo per giocare e divertirsi nel tempo libero, il pomeriggio oppure la sera in ogni giorno. Per stimolare l'impegno di ogni giocatore, abbiamo pattuito che il vincitore di ogni "mini-torneo" organizzato nei vari giorni giochi gratis e non paghi la tariffa di tempo per il periodo di gioco (un'ora di gioco costa 10โฌ, ma viene di volta in volta frazionata in base al periodo di gioco effettivo). Il locale si trova in zona nord di Milano, stazione Greco-Pirelli, universitร Bicocca. Chiunque dovesse essere davvero interessato a partecipare e unirsi al mio gruppo, non esiti a contattarmi. Cerco persone serie e disposte solamente a divertirsi, senza puntare mazzette grazie mille.

Queues for Apache Kakfaยฎ x How MCP Bridges LLMs and Data Streams
Join us for a meetup on Thursday, February 5th from 6:15pm in Milan hosted by Bitrock!
๐**Venue:**
Bitrock
Via Tortona, 4, 20144 Milano MI, Italy. 1st Floor.
**\*\*IMPORTANT: There are limited seats, so if you cannot attend, please change your RSVP so someone else can join. Thanks!\*\*\***
๐ **Agenda:**
* 6:15pm: Doors open/Welcome
* 6:30pm - 7:15pm: Simone Esposito, Team Lead - Software Architect @ Bitrock
* 7:15pm - 8:00pm: Viktor Gamov, Principal Developer Advocate, Confluent
* 8:00pm - 8:30pm: Additional Q&A, Drinks, Food and Networking
๐ก **First Speaker:**
Simone Esposito, Team Lead - Software Architect @ Bitrock
**Title of Talk:**
Queues for Kafka (KIP-932)
**Abstract:**
For more than a decade, Apache Kafkaโs consumption model has been governed by a strict rule: one consumer per partition within a consumer group. This limitation has shaped how teams scale their systems, design topics, and plan for peak throughput. With KIP-932, Kafka breaks this long-standing assumption and introduces a fundamentally new capability: queues. Backed by the new concept of share groups, this paradigm shift allows multiple consumers to read concurrently from the same partition.
This talk explores how KIP-932 brings native queueing semantics to Kafka, enabling true work-queue patterns without over-partitioning and greatly simplifying horizontal scaling. Weโll examine how the new message acknowledgment model works, the tradeoffs introduced by cooperative consumption, and how this feature fits alongside, and differs from, traditional Kafka consumer groups.
**Bios:**
**Simone Esposito** is Software Architect & Team Lead at Bitrock. Passionate about computer science, Simone is always excited to test himself with different technologies and learn new things. He has a strong passion for writing code and sharing knowledge with colleagues and peers in the industry. He prefers working with functional programming languages, distributed systems and event-driven architectures.
๐ก **Second Speaker:**
Viktor Gamov, Principal Developer Advocate, Confluent
**Title of Talk:**
The Missing Protocol: How MCP Bridges LLMs and Data Streams
**Abstract:**
Nobodyโs talking about this: MCP isnโt just another way to build chatbots. Itโs the bridge weโve been missing between AI reasoning and real-time data systems. Teams build AI applications that work great in demos but fall apart with production data. Your agents analyze historical reports but canโt tell whatโs happening in your Kafka streams. Theyโre blind to schema changes and disconnected from events that matter to your business. Instead of treating streaming platforms like black boxes, you expose them directly to your agents via MCP protocol. Suddenly, your AI doesnโt just read about dataโit lives inside your data flows. Learn what becomes possible when you stop thinking about AI as an external service and start treating it as part of your streaming architecture. Weโll build systems where agents subscribe to real-time events, reason about evolving schemas, and make decisions that ripple through your data platform.
**Bio:**
Viktor Gamov is a Principal Developer Advocate at Confluent, founded by the original creators of Apache Kafkaยฎ. With a rich background in implementing and advocating for distributed systems and cloud-native architectures, Viktor excels in open-source technologies.

Azure CBUS February: Build Your Own MCP Server
### Tools in your AI's Toolbox : An introduction to MCP Servers
The generative AI revolution has unlocked unprecedented capabilities, but the next frontier is agency: empowering models to interact with, query, and act upon the world. The current challenge is the โN x M integration problem,โ where every AI model requires a custom, brittle integration for each external tool or data source. This approach simply doesnโt scale. How can we give an AI access to our sales leads, code repositories, or IoT devices in a standardized, secure, and reusable way?
This session introduces Anthropicโs Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source framework designed to solve this challenge and become the universal connectorโthe USB-C portโfor AI. MCP standardizes how AI models discover and use external tools, moving beyond simple function-calling to a robust, client-server architecture. We will dive into how this open protocol is creating a new ecosystem for building powerful, context-aware AI agents.
Join this session for a developer-focused introduction where you will learn how to:
Understand the core concepts of the open-source Model Context Protocol and its architecture.
Utilize pre-built, open-source MCP servers to instantly connect AI to tools like Git, Slack, and databases.
Build a custom MCP server to securely expose your own proprietary data and APIs as tools for any compliant AI.
Move beyond bespoke integrations and contribute to a standardized, collaborative, and open ecosystem.
Stop building one-off connectors and start building intelligent agents. This session will give you the practical knowledge to leverage MCP and create the next generation of AI that doesnโt just talk, but does.

I love my job and one of the main things I do is help customers get going with any of the data technologies at Microsoft. Right now there are a lot of my customers asking about Microsoft Fabric. It's hard to weave across all the shiny new options across the Fabric landscape, let alone figure out where it fits into your organization. In this session we'll focus on answering one question - how can I get data into Fabric? We'll talk through the "it depends" options and see some of the options in live demos.
