**'Deploying AI agents at scale'** by **Valentina Halasi**
**Abstract:**
You've built AI agents with a framework like CrewAI or LangGraph. They work great locally. Now what?
This talk covers the real infrastructure challenges of deploying multi-agent systems: handling long-running executions, managing stateful workflows, versioning deployments, and debugging complex agent behavior in production. Learn the steps from "works on my laptop" to production-ready, and discover why most teams end up building the same infrastructure stack.
I'll wrap up with a live demo showing how to deploy agents with a single command, stream execution in real-time, manage secrets securely, auto-scale to handle concurrent runs, and version deployments with instant rollbacks, without building the full infrastructure yourself.
18:45-19:30
**'AI at scale in practice: Zalando Assistant'** by **Katya Mirylenka**
**Abstract:**
As artificial intelligence transforms the fashion industry, multimodal AI agents are stepping up to deliver deeply personalized shopping experiences. Using the Zalando Assistant (ZA) as a real-world case study, this talk dives into the practicalities of building and operating these complex systems at scale. We will explore why the e-commerce industry is moving beyond simple chatbots to sophisticated LLM-powered agents and how ZA processes complex user interactions to elevate the customer journey. Finally, we will unpack the behind-the-scenes technical hurdles of large-scale AI, including optimizing search and retrieval under heavy load, refining LLM evaluations, and handling complex product data.

Wir freuen uns auf euch!
Ergänzende Infos: Salsa! Kein anderer Tanz hat in den letzten Jahren eine derart steile Erfolgskurve aufs Parkett gelegt. Die Salsa weckt Sehnsüchte nach der Karibik und versprüht wahre Lebensfreude. Salsa wird paarweise getanzt. Ein Partner führt, der andere wird geführt. Bei uns werden hauptsächlich Kurse im kubanischen Stil unterrichtet, der Salsa Cubana, welcher seinen Ursprung in Kuba hat. Die kubanische Salsa wirkt eher spielerisch, rhythmisch und lebendig und setzt sich aus unterschiedlichen lateinamerikanischen Rhythmen und Tänzen zusammen. Das wesentliche Merkmal des kubanischen Stils sind die Drehungen des Tanzpaares um einen gemeinsamen Mittelpunkt und das Kernstück des Salsa Cubana, die Rueda de Casino. Der Name Rueda rührt daher, dass alle beteiligten Paare einen Kreis bilden, wobei sie jeweils synchron die gleichen Figuren tanzen. Bedingt durch Partnerwechsel, die jeweils zu den getanzten Figuren gehören, dreht sich die Rueda bzw. das Rad. Der Kurs für blutige Anfänger oder für Leute, die sich mit den Basic-Elementen noch unsicher fühlen.

GDG Cloud Zürich - 19 March 2026 Meetup (#32)
Join the GDG Cloud Zürich community for an evening of technical talks on Google Cloud, real-world insights, and networking with local practitioners.
This meetup is intended for developers, architects, and engineers working with Google Cloud technologies.
Agenda
⏰ 17:30: Doors open
⏰ 17:55: Doors close (late entry may not be possible due to building security)
⏰ 18:00: Welcome – Graham Polley, Thomas Hug, Filippo Broggini, Erin La, Alessandro Recca and Rachel Werner (organizers)
⏰ 18:05: Talk 1 – Fundamentals of securing your GCP workloads, Natalie Godec, Zencore
⏰ 18:35: Talk 2 – How Google SREs Use Gemini CLI to Solve Real-World Outages, Riccardo Carlesso & Ramón Medrano Llamas, Google
⏰ 19:05: Networking & Apéro – Supported by Google Cloud, Zencore, ABB, and Datwave
Talk details
Talk 1
Title: Fundamentals of securing your GCP workloadsSpeaker: Natalie Godec, ZencoreDescription: So you've vibe-coded your Super Smart AI Agentic App and are ready to set it free on the Internet. You are sure it will do well, it solves this amazing use-case, with such clever technology! You pick your favourite cloud provider, decide on a runtime - perhaps, Kubernetes or Cloud Run - buy a domain, ask Gemini to wire up a deployment pipeline. Happy days!
But here's the thing. You can't vibe-code security. Every single thing you deploy to the cloud needs to be secured. And it's a hard task! Even for cybersecurity professionals.
But fret not. Cloud providers, such as Google Cloud, have already put in the work to make your job easier. And in this talk, you will learn the fundamentals of securing your workloads, (almost) end-to-end.
Talk 2
Title: How Google SREs Use Gemini CLI to Solve Real-World OutagesSpeaker: Riccardo Carlesso & Ramón Medrano Llamas, GoogleDescription: Google Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) use Gemini CLI to accelerate mitigation during live production outages. Acting as a tightly constrained, terminal-based agent, it uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to integrate live operational data. This allows operators to quickly triage alerts, execute human-approved fixes, pinpoint codebase bugs, and generate automated postmortems, ultimately eliminating toil and speeding up recovery.

AWS Community GameDay Europe
**AWS Community GameDay Europe is coming!**
Strategy. Fun. Collaboration.
We will join \~**50 User Groups across Europe** for a unique event: an **international, synchronized AWS Community GameDay**, powered by the European AWS community.
🧩 **A custom set of challenges makes this GameDay one of a kind**
Get hands-on with **AI, security and cloud-native** challenges — no slides, no tutorials. A common scoreboard with global and local prices.
Come with a friend, a team, or solo - we’ll form teams of **2 to 4 people on site**.
**What is an AWS GameDay?**
An AWS GameDay is a team-based, competitive learning experience that transforms cloud training into an immersive, high-energy event. Unlike traditional workshops where participants follow step-by-step instructions, GameDay drops teams into a live AWS environment with real infrastructure—often broken, misconfigured, or under attack—and challenges them to figure out solutions on their own.
**What makes it a unique experience**
* No step-by-step guides—teams must explore, experiment, and problem-solve
* Real AWS accounts with actual running infrastructure (EC2, Lambda, S3, databases)
* Time pressure creates urgency and forces prioritization decisions
* Competitive leaderboard visible to all teams drives engagement
* Points lost for poor decisions (overspending, downtime, security gaps) teach consequences
**Format**
Teams of 2-4 people compete over 2 hours. Each team receives access to their own AWS environment with pre-deployed infrastructure.
**⚠️⚠️⚠️ BRING YOUR OWN LAPTOP ⚠️⚠️⚠️**
Registration closing on March 13th!!!
**Note:** Because there are some global limitations on the number of attendees, is better if you register before March 10th.
**AGENDA**
**📅** Tuesday, March 17th
🕔 17:00 Doors open
➖ 17:15 15-minutes session to get familiar with the AWS Web Console
➖ 17:45 Teams composition
🚀 18:00 Game starts! All locations connected live across Europe, we’ll kick off together, on time.
🎉 20:30 Global and local winners with prices
🍕🥤 Pizza and drinks offered during the event
📍 RedHat Office Switzerland (1St. Floor)
**Compete live with AWS User Groups across Europe, all playing the same scenario at the same time.**
Full list of locations:

**NOTE**: if you join our meetup group for the first time, remember also to reply to this event RSVP! **Attendees that didn't registered properly** providing the required information **cannot participate to the game** (we/AWS need time to prepare cloud environments)

[Agent-Investor Series] How to Build a Client Database Buying 3–10 Deals aYear
This training is designed for real estate agents who want to learn how to play the Agent Investor game. The goal of this training is to help you flip your income into ownership.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
**Traditional buyers transact once every 7–10 years. Investors transact 3–10 times a year.**
If you want predictable income, consistent deal flow, and a long-term wealth ecosystem, you don’t need more leads—you need a better list: a database of committed investors who buy repeatedly.
The Investor Goldmine teaches you how to build, grow, and activate an investor database that becomes your most valuable asset in real estate. Instead of competing for one-time transactions, you position yourself as the Agent Investor—someone who understands strategy, leverage, and wealth building.
In this session, you’ll learn the proven systems to build your investor list from scratch, including:
* Where to network to meet real investors already buying
* A simple “one lunch a week” strategy to build relationships fast
* How to use giving and social currency to become the trusted connector
* How absentee owners and business owners can become your best investor pipeline
* Why community accelerates database growth—even if you don’t run one
You’ll also get a clear activation plan to start growing and converting your investor database immediately.
Because the model is simple:
Build the list. Call the list. Market to the list.
And your income becomes repeatable.
