6:30 - Talks
8:00 till late - networking & chat (& drinks optional)Speakers and Talks:
Nicole Ellis, IT @ Monash (Games and Immersive Media) | Team Co-Lead @ MNET | Comms Officer @ MTS'Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt is the Real Barrier (Not Skill)'
Most people in tech are not held back by a lack of ability; they are held back by intimidation.
We avoid learning new tools and technologies not because we canât, but because they feel too hard. We tell ourselves weâre âtoo busy,â we delay starting, and we stick to what feels comfortable. But often, what looks like procrastination is actually fear. Fear of failure, uncertainty, and self-doubt.
Drawing from experience in education, esports, and leadership, this talk explores how hesitation shows up across different environments, and why it matters more than technical skill.
This session reframes what it means for something to be âhardâ and offers a practical approach to taking the first step towards the things youâve been avoiding.
Cameron Pavey, Principal Engineer | Technical Writer @ Rex
'Building systems that learn and grow'
Most AI interactions start from zero every time. But what happens when you build systems that persist, accumulate context, and actually improve through use?
This session explores the architecture of my long-running AI companion. Not a chatbot that forgets, but systems that learn your household's rhythms, anticipate needs, and develop genuine continuity over months and hopefully years, no OpenClaw required.
We'll walk through the engineering decisions that make this possible: memory architecture that balances retrieval with synthesis, multi-facet coordination that lets different subsystems work in parallel, and the practical challenges of keeping a system coherent when it runs 24/7 across months of operation.
Narendra Santhosh Nagarajan, Senior Backend Engineer @ TIG Freight Management
'Debugging my way through GCP'How to find us:
Doors open at 5:45 PM at our host the Mantel Group, Level 2/452 Flinders St Melbourne. Message via Meetup or Slack if you are arriving after 6:00 as the lifts won't let you up.
This is an in-person only event. If you have any accessibility requirements please reach out via the Meetup or Slack to the organiser group to discuss and we will do our best to help you out.

Melbourne MongoDB User Group #1 2026
Welcome to the first 2026 meetup of **Melbourne đŚđş MongoDB User Group**.
The team at Mantel Group has kindly offered to host us for the evening at their office in Melbourne on Flinders Street. **Complimentary drinks and snacks, as well as some SWAG, will be available, proudly sponsored by the team at MongoDB and Confluent**.
We're looking forward to seeing familiar faces and welcoming newcomers!
Please note that we have limited spots this time, so RSVP early. You will not be able to enter the building after 6 PM, so please be on time.
**Agenda**
* 5:00 pm - Arrival & Networking
* 5:30 pm - Welcome
* 5:35 pm - Talk #1 - Stephen Ermann - Avoid the AI Monolith: Deploy Multi-Agent Systems with MongoDB and Confluent
* 6:00 pm - Talk #2 - Alex Peng - Sharding in MongoDB
* 6:25 pm - Quiz & Swag
* 6:35 pm - Networking & Food
**Speakers**
**Speaker #1 -** **Stephen Ermann** is a **Senior Customer Success Technical Architect at Confluent**, where he helps large enterprises design and operate mission-critical event streaming platforms with **Apache Kafka,** **Confluent Platform/Cloud** and **Apache Flink**. Based in Australia and working closely with major organisations, he focuses on scalable architectures, secure integrations, and smooth cloud migrations.
Stephen has deep, hands-on experience connecting operational data stores like **MongoDB** into real-time, event-driven systemsâturning CDC streams and transactional data into streaming workloads that power modern applications. Heâs passionate about making distributed systems practical, sharing field lessons, and helping teams move from batch to truly real-time data.
**Presentation #1** \- Avoid the AI monolith and learn how to design **event-driven multi-agent systems** with Confluent and MongoDB. In this talk, weâll unpack the shift from classic predictive models to generative and agentic AI, and show why data readiness and real-time context - not just bigger models - determine whether your agents are actually useful in production. Youâll see how treating agents as event-driven microservices with a âbrainâ helps you avoid brittle point-to-point integrations and instead build scalable, observable systems.
Weâll then walk through how **Confluent Cloud, Apache FlinkÂŽ Streaming Agents, and MongoDB Atlas** fit together to provide the streaming backbone, vector search, and RAG capabilities that modern agentic applications need. Using an automated insurance claims demo, weâll illustrate how real-time embeddings, external tables, and vector search in Flink SQL work with MongoDB Atlas to power context-aware decisions and end-to-end workflow automation. We will also share practical pointers and resources so you can start experimenting with your own multi-agent architectures after the meetup.
**Speaker #2 -** Alex Peng is a Technical Services Engineer at MongoDB, specialising in MongoDB Atlas Support. With deep expertise in cloud deployments, Alex is passionate about helping customers navigate complex challenges on MongoDB Atlas, ensuring they get the most out of MongoDB's products and services.
**Presentation #2** explores the fundamentals of sharding in MongoDB, covering the core concepts and architecture that power horizontal scaling in MongoDB. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of sharding's strengths and how to leverage them effectively. We will also provide practical guidance on selecting the shard key to maximise your application's performance and scalability.
Thanks,
The Melbourne MUG Team!

5:30 PM - Doors Open!
6:00 PM - Welcome from the organizers / housekeeping
6:05 PM - **"Changing the engine mid-flight: A startup data pivot" - By Susan Brander, CTO Kaleida**
What happens when your startupâs data model is held together with duct tape, but you still have to fly the plane, ship features, and act cool about it?
Startups move fast, and sometimes that means making the best architecture decisions you can, and being utterly wrong because you donât yet fully understand the domain youâre building for.
At Kaleida, we chose DynamoDB as the cheapest way to get our product off the ground quickly, pushing relational logic into separate tables and thinking weâd gotten it right and assuming if we hadnât that weâd clean it up later (if we survived).
SPOILER!
We survived and thrived! Later came around fast, and it looked like:
\- bloated documents
* Relational logic spread across tables
* Queries dragging us down
We knew weâd modelled it wrong, and that not changing it soon would only multiply the difficulties in the future. So, mid-flight, we changed engines.
This talk is a candid case study of what it takes to evolve your architecture under pressure:
* found our real data inside our current data
* Pivoted to a One Table design
* Pulled off a zero-downtime migration
* Did it all while shipping features and pretending we werenât panicking.
If your team is battling tech debt, scaling pains, a data model that no longer reflects reality, (or you just want to hear about someone elseâs war wounds) then come along.
6:35 PM - Pizza & Networking
7:00 PM - "**Let the Agent Read the Boring Reports: AI-Powered Database Auditing for PROTECTED Compliance on AWS**" - **By Christina Chen, Senior DevOps Engineer, Mantel Group**
Nobody reads CSV audit reports. But under Australia's IRAP PROTECTED framework, organisations must continuously monitor and evidence database user activity â and assessors want proof.
This talk builds a two-stage event-driven pipeline: Lambda extracts MySQL RDS user activity to S3, then a Strands Agent on Bedrock autonomously assesses findings against ISM controls, and generates assessor-ready output
7:30 PM - Networking and finish the Pizza!
8:00 PM - Doors Close, see you next time!
ThoughtstormÂŽ Session Topic: World Creativity & Innovation Day, Yarraville
Would you like to enhance your creativity, confidence and increase your awareness? Weâd love you to join us to ThoughtstormÂŽ the topic World Creativity and Innovation Day in the warm, friendly environment of the Yarraville Community Centre.
How Thoughtstorm came about
Thoughtstorm is a technique developed from a seed of speculation: are there more effective (rational, cooperative, compassionate) ways of thinking? Methods whose long-term consequences will not lead to oblivion. This is the genesis of Thoughtstorm.
What is it?
For anyone with an interest in leadership, deeper conversations or creative problem solving, something much more than a group discussion occurs. What is experienced in Thoughtstorm is a forgotten sensory ability - mind-linking. An evolution in human thinking and learning.
The direction moves from a narrow range of possibility into discovering corecepts, when individual minds merge into a much more powerful collective awareness and experience a deeper, more compassionate comprehension of reality. Corecepts trigger intuitive recognition and agreement by the group, a âWhy, of course!â reaction.
New insights guaranteed!
Because this process taps into abilities already present in the human mind and into aggregates of consciousness straining to express themselves, very little practice is required.
Would you like to see and understand things in a way that is new for all of us? Would you like to develop your consciousness and your creative intelligence? Would you like to be inspired to create positive change?
Then come and join us to Thoughtstorm together.
If itâs your first time to Thoughtstorm, please RSVP early to give plenty of time to arrange a brief prep call on Zoom to go over the Thoughtstorm procedures so we can all get started on time together.
**Agenda:**
4pm - Arrive, meet and greet, read over Thoughtstorm instructions
4.15pm - Begin the Thoughtstorm
5.15pm - Finish
When you RSVP we will be in touch with the details.
We look forward to seeing you there!

How is it that you can Help kids or yourself to become a better student!
Too many kids as well as teenagers and adults have problems with study.
Today's meetup will inform you about the basics in STUDY TECHNOLOGY that provides an understanding of the basics of learning and supplies exact ways to overcome all the pitfalls one can encounter during study. This is applicable to young children, teenagers (or their parents that are trying to help them) and adults alike.
Study Technology shows how one studies in order to comprehend a subject so one can apply it. Laws on which learning is based and workable methods have also been discovered for anyone to apply for themselves or when teaching others.
Too many students graduate from school and college unable to put to use what theyâve learned in school.
Itâs not that theyâre stupid or that their teachers didnât know how to teach.
More than likely it traces back to the one thing missing from most educationsâlearning how to learn in the first place.
We all went to school, yet isnât it odd that no one taught us how to study?
The information presented at this meetup can help anyone improve others or his own ability to learn.
It is a practical tool that parents and teachers alike can use to enhance a child's study performance. Youâll learn the barriers that lie between your own or a child's education.
And you will very quickly learn how to overcome them.
This technology will enable you or a child to pursue any subject with skill and confidence.
Teachers who have "hard to handle/distributive " or slow learners in class will absolutely love the amazing turn around most often seen in improved behaviour and student performance in class.
If you or your child has difficulties at school (or learning new things at work or online) than this meetup is important to you.
If you can not make it to our meetup than contact the organizer and arrange it to suit your time.
This technology can if one was to live far away be taught online. (extension course)
You may offcourse also opt to have this technology taught to your own child by experienced volunteeer staff or learn about this yourself and transfer this knowledge to those you want to have better grades.
Yes it is possible to improve anyone's study performance. All it takes is just 5 steps.
See you at this meetup.

Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for May is "Ink"
Speak Easy: true stories, told live.
The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast.
Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect.
The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
