**The challenge:** AI is already writing code - but without the right context, it’s still guessing. Developers waste hours digging through codebases, and bugs take days (or weeks) to go from a user complaint to an actual fix. **\>\>\> Save you seat \- using this link:** [https://www.wix.engineering/ai-native-development](https://www.wix.engineering/ai-native-development) In this meetup, you’ll see what it looks like when that changes. Join **Guy Bary** & **Israel Zablianov** (11.5) to learn how to give AI real context so it can actually understand your code, explore entire codebases in seconds, and become a true research partner. And on the other side - what happens when bug fixing becomes almost autonomous, shrinking the path from issue to Pull Request dramatically. So if you want to understand where development is heading (and stay ahead of it) - this is the meetup to be. **\>\>\> Save you seat \- using this link:** [https://www.wix.engineering/ai-native-development](https://www.wix.engineering/ai-native-development)

After a long period where we supported one another through screens and remote channels, the wait is finally over. The **Women in DevOps** community is moving back to the physical world, and we want you there with us. ### **The Evening’s Focus** We are excited to be hosted by **Cyera** for an evening of high-level technical insights and authentic discussion. We’re tackling the subjects that sit at the heart of our daily lives as engineers: * **Practical AI Integration:** Moving past the buzzwords to discuss how AI is actually reshaping our daily workflows and automation strategies. * **The Eternal Mystery of DNS:** A deep dive into the protocol we love to hate. Because no matter how much the industry evolves, it’s *always* a DNS issue. * **Networking & Community:** An opportunity to share challenges, stories, and strengthen our professional circle.

But the borders between frontend, backend, and design are blurring, and AI is holding the eraser. In this talk, we'll confront the identity crisis head-on and explore the mindset shifts needed when frontend stops being a role and starts being a skill. **19:10 - Sagi Carmel** -Founder and CTO @ Reeeally **Why I choose AstroJS instead of NextJS in 2026?** In the landscape of the JS ecosystem this one framework isn't the most know, and just like other great things it should! It was bought by cloud flare and features one of the best DX experience out there when it comes to both static and ssr website development. Let's explore why by using nextJS as comparison. **When?\*** Wednesday, 13 May 2026 - **18:00 We start on time!** \* = (לאור המצב.

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.

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!
