**AWS Community GameDay Europe is coming!** Strategy. Fun. Collaboration. We will join \~**50 User Groups across Europe** for a unique event: an **international, synchronized AWS Community GameDay**, powered by the European AWS community. **🧩 A custom set of challenges makes this GameDay one of a kind.** Get hands-on with **AI, security and cloud-native** challenges — no slides, no tutorials. A common scoreboard with global and local prices. Come with a friend, a team, or solo - we’ll form teams of **2 to 4 people on site**. **What is an AWS GameDay?** An AWS GameDay is a team-based, competitive learning experience that transforms cloud training into an immersive, high-energy event. Unlike traditional workshops where participants follow step-by-step instructions, GameDay drops teams into a live AWS environment with real infrastructure—often broken, misconfigured, or under attack—and challenges them to figure out solutions on their own. **What makes it a unique experience** * No step-by-step guides—teams must explore, experiment, and problem-solve * Real AWS accounts with actual running infrastructure (EC2, Lambda, S3, databases) * Time pressure creates urgency and forces prioritization decisions * Competitive leaderboard visible to all teams drives engagement * Points lost for poor decisions (overspending, downtime, security gaps) teach consequences **Format** Teams of 2-4 people compete over 2 hours. Each team receives access to their own AWS environment with pre-deployed infrastructure. **⚠️⚠️⚠️ BRING YOUR OWN LAPTOP ⚠️⚠️⚠️** Registration closing on March 15th!!! **AGENDA** **📅** Tuesday, March 17th **🕔** 17:30 Doors open 👥 17:45 Teams composition **🚀** 18:00 Game starts! All locations connected live across Europe, we’ll kick off together, on time. 🏅 21:00 Global and local winners with prices **📍** Sportradar, Litostrojska Cesta 52a, 1000 Ljubljana (parking available on-site) **Compete live with AWS User Groups across Europe, all playing the same scenario at the same time.** Full list of locations: [https://www.awsgameday.eu/](https://www.awsgameday.eu/) **NOTE**: if you join our meetup group for the first time, remember also to reply to this event RSVP! **Attendees that didn't registered properly** providing the required information **cannot participate to the game** (we/AWS need time to prepare cloud environments)

By the end of this session, atttendees will * know the main differences between Import, DirectQuery and Composit models * be able to choose (wisely) the right model for a given task * understand the impact on report design, user experience and governance If you want to avoid classic model type mishaps, this session is for you.

On **19th March 2026 at 18:00**, we’re gathering again at **Teads office (Dunajska cesta 5, 3rd floor, Ljubljana)** for an evening dedicated purely to backend engineering 📅 **Date:** 19th March 2026 ⏰ **Time:** 6:00–8:00 PM 📍 **Location:** Dunajska cesta 5\, 1000 Ljubljana \| 3rd floor \(Teads office\) 🎟 **Admission:** Free 🍕 **Food and drinks:** Provided after the talks **🗣️ When Things Break at Scale: Production Failure Patterns from GitLab** *John Jarvis – Engineering Manager @ GitLab* What actually happens when things break in a large, high-traffic distributed system? In this session, John walks us through real production incidents from GitLab 2025–2026 operations. We’ll look at how failures are detected, how teams respond under pressure, and how systems recover. More importantly, we’ll extract patterns — the recurring failure modes and resilience strategies that backend engineers can apply in their own systems. If you care about reliability, observability, scaling, and learning from real outages instead of theoretical examples — this one’s for you. **🗣️ Backend in a Coffee Break** *Miha Jakovac – Software Engineering Manager, Predictum Inc.* Modern backend development often means spending more time wiring infrastructure than writing actual business logic. This talk shares the story behind **Nomirun**, a toolkit that rethinks how .NET backends are built and run. You’ll see how services can be created and executed in a fraction of the usual time without sacrificing modularity or cloud readiness. We’ll cover: * Reducing backend boilerplate to near zero * Switching between modular monolith and microservices instantly * Standardizing infrastructure without slowing down development * How AI agents are accelerating backend business logic implementation If you enjoy pragmatic tooling, cleaner architectures, and faster iteration loops — this session will resonate. **👥 Who should come?** Anyone working with or interested in backend technologies—developers, architects, students, or anyone eager to dive deeper into backend engineering. The sessions will be in English 🇬🇧. Expect deep backend discussions, production war stories, and practical engineering takeaways, followed by relaxed networking over pizza. See you on March 19th.

Join us on Wednesday nights at 7pm for two 25 minute quiet meditations, with one short walking meditation in between. There will be a brief and informal conversation afterward.

This is an in-person meeting. Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance. Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues. So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them? That is what this meeting will be all about. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
