Meet us for in-person talks at Zalando on February 17, 2026! Join us for an evening of practical talks on how GenAI is reshaping modern engineering workflows, from code agents to production-grade, guardrailed systems. Please make sure you register with your full name, as it will be checked by security on arrival. **📅Date and Time:** Tuesday, February 17, 2026 Doors open: 18:00 Opening & announcements: 18:30 Talks start: 18:35 Wrap-up & networking: \~20:30 📍**Location:** [Zalando Office BHW](https://maps.app.goo.gl/GELYd8FH7AnqEFNF8) Berlin Hedwig-Wachenheimstraße 7 (BHW) The main entrance is on the west-side of the building (towards Uber Arena). Participants should register at the Helpdesk, and will be picked up from there. 📝 **Agenda:** **18:00 – Doors Open** Pizza, drinks, and networking **18:30 – Opening** Short welcome and announcements from the organizers (5 min) ### **18:35 – Talk #1** **Building Blocks of Modern Code Agents: Reusable Skills and Role-Based Subagents** **[Alexey Grigorev](https://www.linkedin.com/in/agrigorev) — DataTalk.Club** A practical map of modern code agent types and the two key building blocks that make them reliable in real-world development workflows. Code agents appear in many forms today: chat-based assistants, cloud agents running CI-like workflows, and IDE or terminal agents embedded directly into development environments. In this talk, we’ll map these main categories, discuss what each is good at, and highlight where they commonly fail. We’ll then zoom in on two core building blocks used in modern agent tooling: * **Skills / playbooks** — reusable, step-by-step workflows (e.g. understand the repo → implement a change → run checks → produce a clean diff) * **Subagents** — specialized roles such as planner, implementer, reviewer, and tester that split complex work into focused, reliable steps **Format:** 20 min talk + 10 min Q&A ### **19:05 – Talk #2** **Guardrailed Agents at Scale: Zalando’s Support Agent for Incident Triage and Stakeholder Q&A** **[Ivan Potapov](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ivan-sur/)**, **[Saugandh Karan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/saugandh-karan/)**[ ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/saugandh-karan/)— Zalando SE We’ll share how Zalando built and shipped a specialized internal support agent that helps engineering teams answer stakeholder questions and triage operational alerts — without drowning in context or compromising production safety. The agent enriches user requests with relevant observability context (metrics, logs, traces, recent deploys), summarizes what matters, and produces a severity assessment with recommended next steps. A key challenge is context explosion: pulling “all the data” quickly becomes noisy, slow, and risky. We’ll walk through the architecture patterns and guardrails that keep the system production-ready: * Retrieval and ranking strategies * Strict tool boundaries * Policy-driven response formats * Evaluation checks to prevent overconfident or unsafe guidance Finally, we’ll cover rollout and migration: introducing the agent alongside existing workflows, aligning it with architecture guidelines, and iterating based on real incident feedback. **Format:** 20 min talk + 10 min Q&A ### **19:35 – Pizza, Drinks & Networking** Invite your friends and join our meetup. Special thanks to our hosts **[Zalando.](https://en.zalando.de/?_rfl=de)**

**PyBerlin: February's event** **Sponsor**: **Sentry** **Location: W3.Hub** **Agenda:** 6:30 pm – Doors open: snacks, drinks, networking 6:55 pm - Welcome from PyBerlin 7:00 pm - Welcome from the sponsor - Sentry 7:10 pm – **Maximum time off, minimum leave: solving the holiday equation with Python and math // Sander Van Aken** Around the beginning of the year, German news sources publish tips on how to optimize your vacation by cleverly using Brückentage: taking a few strategic days of leave to connect weekends and public holidays into long breaks. But how can this be computed systematically? And how can it be tailored to your personal preferences? Operations Research (OR) and mathematical optimization are powerful but often underrepresented disciplines within the broader AI and analytics landscape. In this beginner-friendly talk, we treat holiday planning as a mathematical optimization problem. Using the question “How do I maximize my benefit from taking time off?”, we will walk through the full process from problem formulation to a working Python solution. Speaker's bio: Sander Van Aken is Operations Research Engineer and passionate about applying quantitative methods to solve mobility, logistics and supply chain planning challenges. Beyond his day-to-day job of developing decision support algorithms for network planning at Flix SE, he is active in the broader OR community and loves introducing people to the field. 7:40 pm - break 8:00 pm – **Exception Handling Within the Context of Python's Typing System // Jonathan Herrera** A conceptual approach to exception handling, with a special focus on Python's type hinting system. Python's typing system does not allow for annotating methods with the exceptions they raise. The talk discusses the conceptual consequences of this limitation and introduces different exception handling paradigms with their upsides and downsides. Speaker's bio: Jonathan has worked as a Senior Python Developer in different companies. Currently, he is an Engineering Manager at RoomPriceGenie, a scale-up providing revenue management solutions to hotels, where he oversees the integrations team, and works, amongst other things, on establishing best practices with regard to reliability and security. 8:30 pm – **One does not simply send a GET request // Paweł Wiszniewski** Short presentation on a few of the less-known features of the requests and urllib3 libraries. Regardless of whether you're scraping the web or extracting data from those REST API endpoints, you need a reliable and convenient way to download data from the internet. But packages get lost in the traffic, servers get overwhelmed with requests. And your job is to build a resilient data pipeline. Let's see what the most popular HTTP libraries have to offer. Speaker's bio: Paweł is a Senior Data Engineer and a founding member of the Data Platform team at Flink SE, where he builds tools and designs processes that empower data scientists, analysts, and business teams across the company. 9:10 pm - closing This event will be only in-person. Please check our Code of Conduct and official health regulation in Berlin before coming. If you feel some signs of sickness, please consider skipping this event and attending another time. We will have plenty of events in different formats in the future. Looking forward seeing you all!

Join us for the next Spring User Group Berlin meetup! This time, we are bridging the gap between rock-solid operations and developer joy. **Talk 1: Secure and Seamless: Injecting Kubernetes Secrets into Spring Applications** *Speaker: Dmitriy Goi, Deutsche Bank* Look, we’ve all done it. You need a database password, so you throw it into an environment variable and call it a day. It works, it’s fast, and your app starts up. But then the security audit hits, or your credentials rotate and suddenly your logs are full of connection errors because your Spring context is stuck in the past. At Deutsche Bank, "good enough" usually isn't. I’ve spent the last few years moving Spring apps into Kubernetes and realizing that most tutorials lie to you. They show you the easy way, not the way that survives in production. I’m going to show you why environment variables are a security trap and how mounting secrets as files actually works (and where it breaks). We’ll get into the mess of secret rotation, why you probably need a CSI driver or an External Secret operator, and how to make Spring Boot actually pick up those changes without a manual restart. **About the speaker:** A passionate software engineer at Deutsche Bank, Dmitriy brings 8 years of development experience to his focus on modernizing application development. He specializes in Spring Boot and Kubernetes and is currently helping lead the charge on migrating key applications to a hybrid cloud environment, emphasizing secure and efficient engineering practices. \-\-\- **Talk 2: Adopting Kotlin for Spring 7: Cleaner Code, Fewer Bugs, Some Tradeoffs** *Speaker: Daniil Tsarev, JetBrains* Kotlin is becoming a first-class citizen in the Spring ecosystem, especially with the latest features in Spring 7. In this talk, we'll explore how easy it is to adopt Kotlin in existing Spring projects, what tangible benefits it brings to everyday development, and where some edges still are. Expect practical examples, real-world tradeoffs, and an honest look at whether Kotlin is the right choice for your Spring stack. **About the speaker:** Daniil Tsarev is a Software Developer at JetBrains with over 10 years of experience working with the Spring ecosystem. Previously was developing a Spring-based full-stack framework for enterprise solutions. Now passionate about developer productivity, he’s dedicated to creating tools and solutions that make developers’ lives easier. **📅 Agenda** [**18:30**]: Doors open, food, drinks & networking [**19:00**]: Talk 1: Secure and Seamless (K8s Secrets) [**19:45**]: Short break [**20:00**]: Talk 2: Adopting Kotlin for Spring 7 [**21:00**]: Q&A and more networking [**22:00**]: Closing the doors Come for the knowledge, stay for the community.

**Rust Berlin on location 🏳️‍🌈** is a new, informal in-person Rust meetup group in Berlin. We are a interactive meetup format interested in mob coding, deep diving and problem solving together. We build toy projects, share experiences, discuss technology and learn new cool stuff. And you are welcome to join! No matter if you are writing Rust production code every day, if you already contribute to Open Source projects or want to start doing so, if you use Rust in hobby projects or if you are just curious what the hype and buzz is all about, you are very welcome! To coordinate and plan activities, please join our **[Rust Berlin on location 🏳️‍🌈](https://signal.group/#CjQKIApfEgb36v82nhIb7m6zLCQjEtSEZubR7UvywTcWZXxdEhBWxhMWNCKekvtCYX7iDRRm)**[ Signal group](https://signal.group/#CjQKIApfEgb36v82nhIb7m6zLCQjEtSEZubR7UvywTcWZXxdEhBWxhMWNCKekvtCYX7iDRRm)! **Planned programme** Being an informal meetup, we are open to anything between just meet and talk, explore nerd snipes and rabbit holes, mob code together, plan and build fun projects, tinker with electronics, and presentations with Q&A. This time, Flix will walk us through error handling approaches in Rust — from typed error enums to crates like anyhow and thiserror — and present his own take: neuer-error, a single-type error library that captures source locations instead of backtraces and provides typed, discoverable error context without generics soup. Then Raf will show off a fun project that renders canvas primitives with vector and matrix geometry, built from scratch with zero dependencies. If someone brings other cool stuff, questions or problems, then let us dedicate the second half of the meetup time to that! Anyone is invited to bring their projects and questions, show something, ask something, or explore a topic together. The best conversations and deepest rabbit holes can emerge out of seemingly nowhere. **Projected upcoming meetups** We schedule regular meetups on Thursday evening every four weeks, using the slot between the Berlin Rust Hack and Learn online meetup (every two weeks), and the Rust Nuremberg online meetup (every four weeks). 19 February 2026 is our eleventh meeting. Our next projected meetings are going to occur on the following dates: * 19 Feb 2026 * 19 Mar 2026 * 16 Apr 2026 * 14 May 2026 * 11 Jun 2026 * 9 Jul 2026 * 6 Aug 2026 **Location** Our meetup location is the new shared office community space of Ferrous Systems, Slint and KDAB in Berlin Mitte, for up to 25 people. We are expecting to use this space as our default location for the time being, with the IN-Berlin e.V. community space in Moabit as backup. Regardless, as our group might eventually outgrow the locations' size limit, we are low-key looking for bigger locations. If you know a fitting location, then please let us know in our Signal group! Another workable way might be to split the meetup into smaller, interest-specific sub-groups instead. As the no-show rate on Meetup.com is rather high, consider showing up even if you are on the waiting list. We can't promise that there is any space left, but usually there is.
