Spec-Driven Development in Practice: How AI Simplify Full-Stack Java
Together with Capgemini, we’d like to invite you to our talk in June. This time, we’ll be discussing spec-driven development with Simon Martinelli.
**Spec-Driven Development in Practice: How AI Simplify Full-Stack Java**
AI is transforming how we develop software, but many teams still treat code as the source of truth, leading to outdated documentation and hidden business logic. What if specifications became the single source of truth instead?
This session introduces Spec-Driven Development (SDD) and the AI Unified Process (AIUP), a practical approach in which developers write clear, structured requirements, and AI generates everything else: diagrams, code, and tests. When requirements change, the system stays consistent automatically.
Based on a real-world Java project built with Spring Boot, jOOQ, and Vaadin, the most productive and secure web framework for Java, you’ll see how SDD keeps business rules, data access, and UI perfectly aligned.
Join this session to learn how AIUP helps Java developers deliver applications faster, with less boilerplate and more focus on what really matters: understanding the domain.
Most teams still treat code as the source of truth, leading to outdated documentation and hidden business logic.
In this session, you’ll learn how Spec-Driven Development (SDD) and the AI Unified Process (AIUP) let you define requirements once and generate consistent Java code, diagrams, and tests automatically.
Based on a real project with Spring Boot, jOOQ, and Vaadin, this talk shows how to build faster, safer, and more maintainable full-stack Java applications.
**Simon Martinelli**
Simon Martinelli is a Java Champion, Vaadin Champion, and Oracle ACE Pro with over three decades of experience as a software architect, developer, consultant, and trainer. He is the creator of the AI Unified Process (AIUP) and a strong advocate of Spec-Driven Development.
As the owner of Martinelli LLC, he coaches teams to get up to speed with AI-driven development. He regularly shares his insights through international conferences, articles, and his blog, Keep IT Simple (https://martinelli.ch), where he writes about AI, architecture, and modern Java development.
He is also a lecturer at two universities in Switzerland, where he teaches software architecture, persistence, DevOps, and cloud-native development.

AWS User Group Berlin Session - June 2026
Dear Community,
after so many workshops, and a breathtaking Hamburg Summit, it's time to greet the sunshine and carry on the spirit of our beloved city! We have three amazing talks prepared for you this time! Thanks to our loyal host **Bonial International GmbH** \- we look forward meeting you all on the date\!
===================================================
18:15 - Warming up and networking chat
18:30 - Intro by AWS UG Berlin & Bonial
18:45 - 19:10 - **Alexey Grigorev // Zero-Trust AWS Access for Humans and AI Agents**
Alexey will share two real-world stories about managing AWS access securely outside of AWS itself.
First, he will show how he organized a hands-on workshop where participants used personal laptops and GitHub Codespaces to provision infrastructure in their AWS account — without ever receiving long-lived AWS credentials. They needed something similar to EC2 instance profiles, but for arbitrary external environments.
Then he will talk about AI agents and autonomous tooling. Alexey's agents run on non-AWS servers with intentionally restricted permissions. Sometimes they need temporary access to AWS sandbox environments, but he doesn’t want permanent credentials on those machines.
Alexey will show an approach for granting short-lived, revocable AWS access on demand.
19:10 - 19:35 - **Surjeet Singh Sachdeva// A Journey From Five Certification Reschedules to AWS Golden Jacket and AWS Ambassador**
In this session, Surjeet will share his journey of working through the AWS certification path, leading to the AWS Golden Jacket, along with the practical steps, discipline, and consistency required to reach it. He will also explain what the Golden Jacket represents in the AWS ecosystem, including the recognition, credibility, and deeper access it brings within the community, and how professionals can approach the certification journey in a structured way.
19:35 - 20:00 - Networking break with food, snacks and drinks
20:00 - 20:30 - **Abdul Wahid // Deep Dive into Bedrock to Implement HITL Architecture**
With the help of AWS Bedrock and his personal domain knowledge in the field on banking, Abdul Wahid will demonstrate The Human-in-the-loop (HITL) architecture by adding a layer of foundation model in the process to analyse the fraudulent transaction and return a confidence score. If the confidence score is below the defined threshold, then the system will alert the human to make the decision rather than letting AI to make mistakes.
20:30 - 20:50 - Common Q&A Round for all speakers.

What happens when PMs start shipping features themselves?
What happens when PMs stop watching engineers code — and start shipping themselves?
You’ve probably heard the stories. Maybe you’ve already tried it in your own company. AI is changing how product teams build, collaborate, and ship — fast.
Join us for an evening with product leaders sharing real-world experience building and shipping customer-facing features with AI, not just internal demos and experiments.
We’ll talk about PMs opening PRs, non-devs contributing directly to production, and what actually changes when the whole team gets closer to the codebase.
This event is designed for Product Managers and Product Leaders who want to understand how product roles, collaboration, and development processes are evolving in the AI era.
**Agenda**
18:15 – Doors open for snacks, drinks, and networking
19:00 – Welcome from ProductTank Berlin
19:10 – Opening the PR is just the beginning, Dmitry Gorshkov
19:40 – What happened when we let non-devs into the codebase, Elena Berendeeva
20:10 – Networking
21:30 – Event ends
Please note:
- Please bring your IDs as you’ll need it when entering the venue.
- The event is RSVP only: to enter, you must RSVP here on Meetup.
- We'd like to capture the event with photographs for promotional purposes, such as sharing on LinkedIn after the event. If you have any concerns or preferences regarding this, please feel free to let us know beforehand.
**Opening the PR is just the beginning**
Dmitry will show how to go deep into the codebase as a PM and make it worth the effort. Crafting code is time consuming, so should PMs code instead of doing PM work? Absolutely. But you must come prepared.
About the speaker
[Dmitry Gorshkov](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dmitrygorshkov?utm_source=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=member_android) is a lead product manager at Finom, a Dutch fintech superapp for small businesses. Dmitry has shipped successful products at N26, Taxfix and Cut the Rope, among others - and has more than a decade of product management experience.
**What happened when we let non-devs into the codebase**
A year ago, we let PMs, designers, and QA contribute directly to our existing codebase using AI. What followed wasn’t just faster shipping – it was a quiet shift in how our team made decisions, handled ownership, and thought about their roles. This is that story.
About the speaker
[Elena Berendeeva](https://www.linkedin.com/in/berendeeva-elena?utm_source=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=member_android) is a PM at JetBrains who spent the last few years building 0-to-1 products – through pivots, sunsets, and a lot of uncertainty. Her most recent product is Matter, an AI prototyping tool that her team – designers, QA, and engineers – used to ship directly to production. She explores AI-native workflows and the evolving role of PMs in agentic product development.
Classic Rosés - the best pink wines of France
It’s time to think pink again, as the weather improves and the long warm evenings scream for a cold glass of fruity freshness.
But rosés are not just frivolous summer tipples. The best examples are world class, due to the history of the regions, geography of the landscapes and technical innovations going back centuries.
Let’s learn all about it as we taste some of the best bottles in France (and by extension, the world):
Clairet from Bordeaux – the OG
Tavel - the only specialist rosé AOC in France
Bubbly from Alsace
Loire Valley – the spiritual home of rosé
Provence – the more recent standard-bearer
Languedoc – the new pretender
As well as these classics I have a randomer as usual to liven things up.
I maintain that pink wines are great with food, so I’ll supply some dips, seafood, cheese and other snacks to prove it!
This really is the last word in rosé wine tasting, so I hope to see you there.
Cheers, Sean

"Metal Slinger" by Rachel Schneider
Join us as we discuss our June pick: Metal Slinger by Rachel Schneider!
Book description:
Even though she's not one of them, Brynn has spent her life among the Alaha, training to be a guard and waiting for the chance to attend the annual market hosted by the Kenta–the very same people who exiled her adopted community to a life at sea. Going to the market is a rite of passage eagerly anticipated by all young guards, but Brynn does not anticipate breaking a century-long peace treaty while there. Nor does she plan for the intense encounter with an enemy soldier that now threatens to unwind the fragile coexistence between their people–and everything Brynn once believed about herself to be true.
Brynn's loyalty to the Alaha is tested when the truth of her identity is brought to light by this soldier who's taken an oath to bring her back to where she belongs. Narrowly escaping death on the violent high seas, Brynn's connection to the Alaha is further tested when she learns about the world of magic she's been denied. She was once certain of her fate and where she belonged, but the dark, knowing eyes of this stranger have her questioning everything, including her heart.
Packed with knife fights and seafaring adventure, METAL SLINGER is the smash-hit start to the romantic fantasy duology, the Fire & Metal series
