Buzoku Meetup | Web3 and AI | Barcelona Join us in Sant Gervasi for Buzoku, a bi monthly casual meetup for people building in Web3, AI, and digital systems. What started as a Web3 focused group is now expanding to include AI builders as well. The format No panels No presentations No agenda We meet at a bar, grab a drink, and talk. That is it. Who comes A mix of: • Engineers and technical builders • Founders and operators • Investors and traders • Designers and curious minds Working across: • Crypto, Web3, and digital assets • AI, agents, and applied machine learning You do not need to be working at the intersection. If you are deep in either space, you will find your people here. We are also very interested in where AI and crypto meet, including agentic systems, automated finance, and new coordination models. What to expect • Real conversations about what people are actually building • War stories, ideas, experiments, and lessons learned • A relaxed environment where you can meet people naturally No pressure to pitch. No structured talks. Just good people and good discussions. Why join • Meet high quality builders in Barcelona • Exchange ideas without the noise of formal events • Find collaborators, hires, or new opportunities 🍺 🍷 Drinks on us, both alcoholic and non alcoholic We try to keep the group high signal. If you are actively building or deeply involved in AI or crypto, you will get the most out of it.

The climate emergency requires more than facts alone. The transformation we need must be measured in greenhouse gas emissions averted and solar panels installed, but it is also an emotional transition, a shift in the narratives we tell, a reconnection with old wisdom and so much more. In short, it is perfectly suited for fiction. If you are seeking such guidance, and if you want to be part of a community, we would love to have you join the Cli-Fi Club this month. This month we are reading 'The Water Knife' by Paulo Bacigalupi, an American novelist who has won the Hugo and Nebula awards and was a finalist for the National Book Award. 'The Water Knife' is frequently included on lists of top cli-fi, but I have yet to read it. Excited to read and discuss with all of you. This event is free, but please get your copy from the wonderful English bookstore that hosts our book club meetings, Backstory. You can also [buy a copy of the book from them online](https://backstorybookshop.shop/product/the-water-knife/ ). To cover Meetup fees and other costs, we also encourage a €1 donation per attendee. **About the Cli-Fi Club** We read climate fiction — ie, cli-fi — of all types. Our focus is on works that grapple seriously and thoughtful with the emotions and meaning of this moment, what may lie ahead and what may already be lost. Our selections go well beyond the stereotypical conception of cli-fi — ie, science fiction and post-apocalyptic narratives — to include a range of works that engage creatively with humanity’s great challenge, and may even leave you inspired. **About this community** Are you new to the meetup group Let’s Talk About Climate Change or our WhatsApp group Mobilizing Hope? We work to bring together English-speaking people in Barcelona and beyond for climate education and action, and also community. We welcome speakers of Catalan, Castellano and other languages, but most of our events are in English because most of our organizers and attendees are more comfortable in English than other languages. We created this group because we could not find any community like it. We range from degrowthers to startup founders, from artists to data scientists. We may not agree on everything, but we all want to move in the same direction. If you do too, you’re welcome to make it your home.

**SREday: In-Person Event on SRE, DevOps & Cloud in BARCELONA** Conference focused on Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), DevOps, and cloud infrastructure, bringing together engineers, platform teams, and leaders to share real-world experience building, scaling, and operating reliable production systems. 🫆[CFP](https://cfp.ninja/e/sreday-2026-barcelona-q2) 🎟 Free Entrance

**Hello, fellow DevOps enthusiasts 🤓** On **May 7th**, we'll meet again for a couple of insightful talks, hosted by **[Dynatrace](https://www.dynatrace.com/)**! 📍**Location**: Avda Diagonal 211 \- 14th floor\, Torre Glòries\, Barcelona \| [https://maps.app.goo.gl/22q31ECkaW7BzDMD8](https://maps.app.goo.gl/22q31ECkaW7BzDMD8) \-\-\-\-\-\- 📅 **Agenda** * **18:30 - 18:40** Welcome from the hosts * **18:45 - 19:30** "The microservices kool-aid and what that means for SREs" * **19:30 - 20:15** "Observability in the AI-Native DevOps Age" * **20:15 - 21:00** Networking & Snacks \-\-\-\-\-\- **🎤 Talks & Speakers** * **Title: "The microservices kool-aid and what that means for SREs"** * **Speaker**: [Csaba Almási](https://www.linkedin.com/in/csaba-almasi/) - *Staff Platform Engineer at [Neonomics](https://www.neonomics.io/).* * **Duration**: 30-45 mins * **Abstract**: For years, the industry has treated microservices as the default architecture for any scaling project, but for SREs, this "Kool-Aid" often comes with a bitter aftertaste. This session moves past the hype to examine the true operational tax of service proliferation, specifically focusing on how fragmented architectures drive up observability costs and create silent performance bottlenecks through network overhead and resource contention. We will dive deep into the technical signals that reveal a "distributed monolith"—a system that shares the complexity of microservices but retains the rigid coupling of a legacy app—and provide a rubric for identifying when an architecture has become more of a liability than an asset. Beyond the theory, we’ll explore practical guidelines for determining when to actually decompose a monolith and, perhaps more importantly, when to move in the opposite direction. Using real-world examples from the field, we will walk through the architecture and design decisions behind both successful service extractions and strategic consolidations of over-engineered distributed systems. You’ll walk away with a framework for balancing technical depth with operational sanity, ensuring your architecture evolves based on performance data rather than industry trends. * **About**: Csaba Almási is a Staff Infrastructure Engineer at Neonomics, where he focuses on building reliable platforms and maximizing the business impact of observability. With extensive experience in SRE and distributed systems, he specializes in bridging the gap between technical architecture and operational efficiency in the fintech sector. \-\-\-\-\-\- * **Title: "Observability in the AI-Native DevOps Age"** * **Speaker**: [Andreas (Andi) Grabner](https://www.linkedin.com/in/grabnerandi/) - *CNCF Ambassador, Book Co-Author, and Fellow DevRel at [Dynatrace](https://www.dynatrace.com/)* * **Duration**: 30-45 mins * **Abstract**: *AI is here to stay!* *The question is: How to make it an efficient DevOps partner for the human to build, test and operate software?* The answer is simple: Just like humans, the AI can use observability to understand and optimize the impact of generated and deployed code and configuration. In this talk you learn the path through three important lessons on how observability as you know it is changing to become useful for the Human and the AI as we enter the AI-Native Age. **1.** **The Observability Primer**: “What’s different in observing an app, an AI or a workflow?" **2.** **The AI Delivery Lifecycle**: “How can my AI becomes better with observability?” **3\. Cost and Impact**: “How can we speed up while staying within budget?” You will walk away and know how to best apply open standards like OpenTelemetry and OpenLLMetry to get insights and optimize your own usage of AI. Whether its for coding, automation or to provide it as a business feature! * **About**: Andreas Grabner has 20+ years of experience as a software developer, tester, and architect, and is an advocate for high-performing cloud-scale applications. He is a CNCF ambassador, a contributor to the CNCF project keptn, a Co-Author of Platform Engineering for Architects, and a Fellow DevRel at Dynatrace.

A special edition meetup with a very special guest! International speaker Daniel Afonso will talk about the Framework wars and what he learned from them! Don't miss out! 🚀 ────────── **18:30: Welcome** **18:45 Intro by Host Neciu Dan** **19:00 React-Driven Development: Career Lessons from the Framework Wars** Speaker: Daniel Afonso, Senior Developer Advocate at PagerDuty "No one uses what I built!" "Why can't I get support to do this?" "I don't even know why we're using that?" "Why am I always the one doing everything?" Sound familiar? The truth is, friction is ever-present in our careers — in our influence, processes, relationships, and even the code we ship. But we're rarely taught how to handle it. Here's the fun fact: React's history is full of lessons in dealing with friction. From the early skepticism around JSX and the Virtual DOM to the chaos of Server Components, the React team has navigated many friction points you'll face: skeptical stakeholders, unclear messaging, delayed initiatives, and the challenge of getting buy-in. So let's recap the highlights since its birth to the latest release, understand what React got right (and wrong), and extract practical takeaways you can apply to your career, team, and developer experience initiatives. Whether you're leading a team, building internal tools, or advocating for a technical decision, you'll leave with concrete strategies for driving change, building trust, and shipping initiatives that actually get adopted. **20:00: Drinks and networking!** Do you want to talk at this meetup?

Two weeks ago Yann LeCun and his team at New Yourk University published a paper http://yann.lecun.com/exdb/publis/pdf/lecun-06.pdf aimed to tackle a fundamental problem of AI -- world model, an obstacle that can keep us at the current level of LLM-s for potentialy centures, or can take us to singularity if it will be solved. To do this LeCun used EBM -- energy base models instead of classical probabilistic densities. We are planning to discuss energy based reasoning from mathematical point of view and also discuss connected technologies and their perspectives. Main article that we will discuss https://openreview.net/pdf?id=ZBj3Qp1bYg This is part of the scientific paper reading club. Presenter: Anier Velasco Sotmayor, teacher at Harbour Space Institute of Technology language of the meeting: English. Entrance donation: 15 eur

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!

The methodology of deploying from a build is now baked into our culture. Take it a touch farther with infrastructure as code and a few extra techniques, and you can reliably deploy to any platform: cloud, on-prem, container, PaaS, and more. Join us as we learn the methodology of GitOps, the critical pieces you need in place, and the elegance of rollbacks with GitOps. You'll leave with a working repo of deployment techniques that doesn't consume any paid tools or container-specific techniques.

Practical AI for Power BI Developers A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective. This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly. Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.

Let’s meet, wander the exhibits and open galleries, and enjoy an evening out in the Franklinton Arts District. (Nearby pay parking is available in the garage on McDowell, right around the corner from One Line Coffee, and, past it along the curb as McDowell dead ends.)
