"Who gets paged? Unit\-testing Grafana notification policies\.*" by Martin Fryč, Staff Infrastructure Engineer at SentinelOne** \*Grafana notification policies decide who wakes up at 3am, and a single mistyped label can silently reroute an alert into the wrong team's branch. Grafana 13 and grafana-operator let teams own their slice of the policy tree, but Alertmanager still evaluates one merged tree, so a too-broad matcher in team A's subtree can quietly swallow team B's alerts. This talk shows a small Go tool that treats routing as code: declarative "given these labels, expect these receivers" assertions, run in CI against the assembled policy. We will walk through the routing semantics, real misroutings the tool can catch, and why multi-tree provisioning makes this test layer more necessary, not less. **2\. "*Using OpenTelemetry in development of resin 3D printers*" by** **Pavel Štrobl** \*In this talk we will take a look how it's possible to get metrics from upcoming resin printers from Prusa Research using OpenTelemetry, why it was not possible to use Prometheus Remote Write and the quirks while getting metrics from hardware constrained environment. **19:40 - 21:30**: Discussion and more pizza Note that by registering for this event you consent to related event & product communications from Grafana Labs and agree to our[ code of conduc](https://grafana.com/events/events-code-of-conduct/)t \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **​PLEASE NOTE**: at the SentinelOne office, in line with the venue security requirements - all meetup attendees will be required be verified by their\*\* ID card (or passport\*\*), also to\*\* sign a generic ND\*\*A used for all office visitors and to wear a visitor badge with their name during the whole event - to be able to attend the meetup

Join us for another AI Transformers Prague meetup — a community for leaders, innovators, and practitioners who want to turn AI from buzzword into real business impact. This time organized in cooperation with KPMG. **This session puts AI on trial — through the lens of the EU AI Act.** As regulation becomes reality, companies are being forced to move from experimentation to accountability. The question is no longer *“Can we use AI?”* but *“Are we allowed to — and under what conditions?”* The AI Act is set to reshape how organizations design, deploy, and govern AI systems. But what does it actually mean in practice? Who is responsible? What’s high-risk? And how do you stay compliant without slowing innovation to a halt? *** 🧭 **Theme: AI on Trial — Navigating the EU AI Act** We’ll explore questions like: * What does the AI Act require from companies today and in the near future? * How do you determine if your AI system is “high-risk”? * What are the biggest compliance challenges organizations face? * How can companies balance innovation with regulation? * What practical steps should teams take now to prepare? *** 🎙 **Speakers** Experts from consulting, corporate, and public sector bringing different perspectives on how the AI Act is interpreted and applied in practice: [Martin Čapek](https://www.linkedin.com/in/martincapeklawyer/) – KPMG [Ivana Kudláčková](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ivana-kudl%C3%A1%C4%8Dkov%C3%A1-4b17923ab/) – Český telekomunikační úřad Petr Beránek – MSD *** 🎤 **Format** Short expert talks followed by a panel discussion and audience Q&A — focused on practical implications, not legal theory. *** 📋 **Agenda (June 16)** 17:30–18:00 – Arrival, registration & networking 18:00–18:10 – Welcome & intro 18:10–19:00 – Expert talks 19:00–19:45 – Panel discussion & Q&A 19:45–20:30 – Networking, drinks & informal conversations *** 👥 **Who Is This For?** * Founders & startup leaders working with AI * Product managers & engineering leaders * Corporate innovators & transformation teams * Legal, compliance, and risk professionals * Data scientists and AI practitioners * Anyone affected by upcoming AI regulation Whether you're building AI products or evaluating their use, this session will help you understand what the AI Act means for your organization — and what to do next. *** 📍 **Practical Info** Date: June 16 Time: 17:30–20:30 Location: KPMG offices, Prague Language: English Attendance is free, but spots are limited. RSVP to secure your place and join others navigating the future of AI in Europe. By attending this event, you agree that photos and videos may be used for marketing purposes.

AKCE JEN PRO ZVANÉ 🤖 Ahoj, v rámci setkávání Research Tuesday jsme naplánovaly Friday special. Cítíme už nějakou dobu, že naše researchová komunita má potřebu sdílet, co nového nám do práce přinesla umělá inteligence, jak nám mění výzkum pod rukama. Chceme si povídat, chceme si navzájem sdílet, chceme vytvořit mapu, kam si zaneseme, v jakých fázích výzkumu a jakým způsobem používáme AI a co nám funguje dobře a co až tolik ne. Pracovat a sdílet se bude převážně v menších skupinkách a výstup se na konci odprezentuje ostatním. Mapu pak pravděpodobně dáme k dispozici komunitě. Pátek 19. června 9 - 12 do Slevomatu v pražském Karlíně. Setkání se koná pouze offline, a kapacita je omezená na 30 pozvaných. Žádná velká příprava netřeba, jen teď dávej víc pozor, kdy a jak v rámci výzkumného workflow používáš AI a jak ti to funguje, ať se o to můžeš podělit s ostatními. **🕒 Agenda:** * **08:30 AM** – Otevření dveří & ranní networking * **9:00 AM** Workshop * **12:00 PM** – Závěr & možný společný oběd **🧸 Hlídání dětí na vyžádání:** Research Tuesday stavíme na tom, že profesní rozvoj má být přístupný všem. Chceme podpořit i rodiče malých dětí, aby mohli zůstat v kontaktu s oborem a potkávat se bez zbytečných překážek. **Máte zájem o hlídání?** Rádi ho na místě zajistíme, ale potřebujeme vědět, jestli o něj bude zájem. Dejte nám vědět v komentářích nejpozději do pondělí 15.6. do 8:00, jestli službu využijete a pro kolik dětí. Podle toho rozhodneme, jestli ji zajistíme. **Rezervace:** Zarezervuj si místo včas. Pokud se ti plány změní, prosíme, uvolni místo ostatním. **Těšíme se na známé tváře i nové účastníky!** Běla, Ivana, Lucie

Choice is variable and consists of 4 to 7 options ranging from toast, sausages and soup to fried cheese in a bun, goulash or schnitzel. * Club closes at midnight.

Talk 1 **Title: The Platform Is the People: SLAs, DORA and Trust at Billions of Requests a Month** By: Harry Bouras Role / LinkedIn: AI & Cloud Engineering leader, formerly heading the API organisation of a leading, extremely global and multicultural corporation. LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/harry-bouras/ Abstract: Most "platform" talks are about tools. This one isn't. Heading the API organisation of a leading, extremely global and multicultural corporation, interconnecting decades of legacy systems while serving billions of requests a month and scaling across both Azure and Google Cloud, taught me a contrarian lesson the hard way: at that volume, platforms don't fail on technology, and cloud bills don't explode because of bad Terraform. They fail, or succeed, on how the organisation is set up to own, deliver and grow the thing. The org chart is the real architecture. I'll walk through the levers that actually moved the needle, each anchored in real moments from that scale. How SLAs, framed as clarity rather than punishment, change engineer behaviour more than any dashboard. Why extending trust and time to a team up front - the most uncomfortable thing a leader can do, is precisely what raises build quality and cuts the rework you can't afford at billions of requests. What genuinely changed when we dragged a waterfall-shaped organisation toward iterative, Scrum-based delivery, and why that was about shortening feedback loops, not adding ceremonies. And how DORA metrics became our objective answer to a question every team argues about: what actually makes a successful Senior Software Engineer and what a DevOps engineer? Then the human core, told honestly, which means told as comedy. What makes a good manager in this world, narrated through the things I was certain about and was completely wrong about. The running joke is also the real point: nearly every instinct that made me a good engineer made me a mediocre manager until I unlearned it. Finally, a look at what we're all about to get wrong together: AI is forcing DevOps to grow up into DevSecOps - and the teams that handle it well will be the ones that already have the ownership, trust and growth culture this talk is really about. Talk 2 **Postmortem Culture: Turning Failures into Learning, Not Blame** By: Dani Yelovitch Most engineering teams treat incidents as embarrassments to bury — a quick fix, a vague Slack message, and everyone moves on. This talk argues for a different approach: treating every failure as a gift. The core idea is blameless postmortems — a practice pioneered at Google and Netflix where the goal isn't to find a scapegoat, but to understand how the system (people, tools, processes) allowed a failure to happen in the first place. If a human made a mistake, the real question is: why did the system make that mistake easy to make? The talk would cover: What a good postmortem looks like (and the common ways they go wrong) How to run a blameless review without it becoming a blame-by-committee session Turning action items into actual change, not a graveyard doc nobody reads Building psychological safety so engineers report problems early instead of hiding them The key takeaway: teams that learn from failure faster than their competitors ship better software with fewer catastrophic incidents — not because they have better engineers, but because they've built better feedback loops. **Talk 3:** Title: From Service Organization to Self-Service: Platform Engineering in Action By Pavel Bureš from Sky Modern engineering organisations accumulate platform silos faster than they can pay them down — each team picking its own way to provision workloads, databases, queues and caches, each with subtly different security, observability and cost profiles. In this talk we share how we are tackling that problem at scale through a Platform Engineering practice built on the principle of a unified, abstracted interface for application-centric configuration — an approach that shifts platform teams from "ticket-driven plumbing" to product thinking: stable contracts, golden paths, and self-service by default. In the second half we zoom in on PEaaS (Persistence Engineering as a Service), our concrete implementation of these principles for stateful workloads. We will walk through the architecture — Crossplane 2.0 composition functions on EKS, application-centric Kubernetes claims (XRs), and a tenant-onboarding model that automates IAM, VPC endpoints, OIDC and S3 provisioning — and how it abstracts heterogeneous backends (Keyspaces, Aurora DSQL, Redis Cloud, and Kafka on EKS) behind one consistent interface. Attendees will leave with: A practical pattern for designing engineering platforms in their own organisations. A reference architecture for persistence-as-a-service on Crossplane. Honest lessons on standardisation, tenant onboarding and platform adoption.

**Forget the tourist trail. We're going deep into Bohemian Switzerland — one of the most surreal landscapes in Central Europe, and it's right on our doorstep.** Towering sandstone pillars. A river gorge where the light barely reaches the ground. A boat ride through a narrow canyon carved into solid rock. And at the end of it all: Pravčická brána — the largest natural rock arch in Europe, perched above the treeline with views that make the climb absolutely worth it. This is the kind of day where you stop every ten minutes because something looks unreal. Forest trails that open suddenly into panoramic views. A medieval-looking chateau bolted onto a cliff face. A flat-bottomed boat floating you through a gorge so narrow you can touch both walls. And you're back in Prague by 19:00. **Who's this for?** Anyone who wants a proper day out in nature. Solid shoes, reasonable fitness, willingness to be away from your phone for a few hours. First time in Czech nature? Perfect introduction. Been here before? You'll love having company. *** **🗓️ The Day** 🥾 **~09:30 — Trail start in Hřensko** We set off on the **Mlýnská cesta** (yellow trail) — the official open route from Hřensko to Pravčická brána.

The Mlýnská cesta is the designated alternative — well-marked, scenic, and takes you straight to the arch. 🏔️ **~11:30 — Pravčická brána + Sokolí hnízdo** The highlight of the day. Europe's largest natural sandstone arch, 26.5 metres wide, with a 19th-century chateau literally built into the cliff beside it. Entrance fee applies (~150–200 CZK, card accepted). Take your time — this is the view you came for. 🍽️ **~12:30 — Lunch at Mezní Louka** Short walk down to Hotel Mezní Louka — traditional Czech cuisine, and **the biggest beer garden in the region**. They offer group menus at special rates. ⛵ **~14:00 — Divoká soutěska (Wild Gorge) boat ride** The finale. A flat-bottomed boat takes you through the Kamenice river gorge — narrow sandstone walls, hanging ferns, near-total silence except for the water. Open daily 09:00–17:30, last boat at 17:30. Entry: **200 CZK / person** (cash or card). Hands down one of the best 30 minutes in Bohemia. 🔄 **~15:30 — Walk back to Hřensko** Short walk back along the river to the village. 🚌 **~16:00 — Firm meeting point at Hřensko bus stop** Whether you went fast or slow, we all leave together from here. *** **🚌 Option A — Train + Bus (recommended)** No car needed, no parking stress. 🚉 **07:15 — Meet at Praha hl.n.

We are bringing Microsoft Build sessions to Columbus Ohio! The Central Ohio Azure Meetup and Central Ohio .NET Developer's Group (CONDG) are coming together to bring some of the labs and breakouts from Microsoft Build to your backyard. In this free, 1 day event, you are going to Build stuff with us! And yes, there will be free food. Please RSVP via [Microsoft Build //localhost:columbus | Microsoft Reactor](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/reactor/events/27247/).

This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? 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: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
