## Details 18:00 - Mingling 🎉, SWAG 🎁, pizza 🍕, and beers 🍻 18:30 - 19:45 Lecturers 19:45 - IntelliJ Licenses + Node.TLV 20025 ticket 🎉 (more details in [https://www.nodetlv.com/)](https://www.nodetlv.com/)) ## Full Agenda From: Tal Doron : [Hebrew] **Querying for Evil: Using BigQuery to Find Threats in the SMB realm** This session dives into our practical approach for transforming massive volumes of cloud productivity logs into actionable security intelligence. We'll demonstrate how we leverage Google BigQuery as a highly-scalable data warehouse to store, process, and analyze this data at speed. You'll see how we execute complex, high-performance queries that uncover subtle anomalies, hunt for advanced threats, and provide critical detections to secure our customers. From [Anatol Zakrividoroga](https://www.linkedin.com/in/anatol-zak/overlay/about-this-profile/): [English] **Full-Stack Type Safety Without the Boilerplate: Meet tRPC** Keeping your frontend and backend in sync is hard — especially when API contracts drift, types get out of date, and your IDE stops being helpful. tRPC solves that by letting your backend define procedures that your frontend can call directly, with full TypeScript inference from end to end. In this talk, we’ll explore how tRPC eliminates unnecessary schemas and code generation while still delivering robust, type-safe communication between client and server. You’ll see how to set up a fully type-safe full-stack workflow, catch breaking changes before they hit production, and dramatically reduce the overhead of maintaining APIs. From: [‫Sagi Carmel](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sagicarmel/overlay/about-this-profile/): [Hebrew] **Promise you will learn something new about promises** Most of the time we are using Promises without reeeally understanding it's practical use v.s. what it was before. We will learn in a very interactive lesson the pure basic. Register via Luma -> [https://luma.com/b5bga495](https://luma.com/b5bga495) Kindly be informed that attendance at the meetup is on a first-come, first-served basis until capacity is reached.

As real-time systems become the backbone of modern products, the way we design and operate data infrastructure is evolving fast. In this meetup, we’re bringing together experts from Riskified, Confluent, and Wix to show how Apache Flink and Apache Kafka power the next generation of streaming architectures—from resilient, fault-tolerant pipelines and reusable data products to AI-driven decisioning at massive scale. Whether you’re a data engineer, platform builder, or AI-curious developer, this evening will give you practical patterns and fresh ways to think about real-time systems. **Agenda:** 18:00 - 18:30 - Mingling, drinks, and snacks 18:30 - 19:00 - Supercharge Your FlinkSQL Job: Use a Hybrid API Approach to Achieve Perfection - Gal Krispel, Senior Data Platform Engineer at Riskified 19:00 - 19:30 - From Data Mess to Data Products: Unlocking Real‑Time Value with Data Streaming - Ohad Israeli, Senior Solutions Engineer Team Leader at Confluent 19:30 - 20:15 - AI vs. Karen: Building Real-Time Sentiment Analysis Pipelines at Scale - Josef Goldstein, Head of R&D, Big Data Platform at Wix.com 20:15 - More drinks and mingling The talks will be delivered in Hebrew. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **// Supercharge Your FlinkSQL Job: Use a Hybrid API Approach to Achieve Perfection - Gal Krispel, Senior Data Platform Engineer at Riskified** Apache Flink’s SQL interface almost sounds like a dream: write standard SQL - get a full-blown streaming app. However, dreams and reality rarely align, and FlinkSQL achieved a questionable level of production readiness. In this session, we’ll explore the known upsides and downsides of FlinkSQL. From the enormous velocity and traction FlinkSQL can create in your organization, to sleepless nights of manual state interventions and unexpected data type inference. The good news is, there are ways to bypass obstacles and tap the most out of FlinkSQL’s benefits by using a Hybrid Flink API approach. We’ll examine the architecture of a fault-tolerant FlinkSQL job (using DLQ), bypass inherent FlinkSQL’s data-type limitations, and finally, show how we can set up our job to handle a massive load. Finally, we’ll also share step-by-step code examples of how to achieve it. ***About the speaker:*** Gal Krispel is a Data Platform Engineer at Riskified, specializing in streaming technologies such as Apache Kafka and Apache Flink. He focuses on building scalable, real-time data pipelines that power Riskified’s core products. Gal is particularly interested in making complex data architectures accessible and efficient across the organization. His work spans real-time analytics, event-driven design, and the seamless integration of stream processing into large-scale production systems. [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gal-krispel/) **// From Data Mess to Data Products: Unlocking Real‑Time Value with Data Streaming - Ohad Israeli, Senior Solutions Engineer Team Leader at Confluent** This talk shows how organizations can move from brittle, point‑to‑point integrations to a data streaming “central nervous system” that powers reusable, trustworthy data products across both operational and analytical estates. We’ll cover the Stream–Connect–Govern–Process blueprint, pragmatic pipeline patterns into warehouses like Snowflake, and real‑world use cases from fraud detection to personalization—highlighting how reusable data products slash time‑to‑value and operating cost while improving data quality and freshness. Attendees will leave with a practical framework to standardize schemas, materialize real‑time pipelines, and reuse domain data products to accelerate AI/ML and analytics initiatives. ***About the speaker:*** Ohad Israeli is a Senior Solutions Engineer Team Leader at Confluent with 20+ years of experience in data architectures. He helps high‑growth tech teams turn streaming data into measurable outcomes using Confluent. His focus is real‑time, event‑driven architectures, faster paths to production, and reliability at scale. [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/israeliohad/) **// AI vs. Karen: Building Real-Time Sentiment Analysis Pipelines at Scale - Josef Goldstein, Head of R&D, Big Data Platform at Wix** We’ve all heard that “the customer is always right". But let’s be honest, some customers are just impossible to please. What if we could detect them before they turn into ALL-CAPS review bombers, in real-time? In this talk, we’ll walk through how to build AI-powered streaming pipelines using Apache Kafka and Apache Flink that can detect frustrated users and respond in real time at massive scale. We’ll explore how to embed AI models directly into data streams for live inference, discuss the trade-offs between using Large Language Models (LLMs) and Small Language Models (SLMs), and tackle the real-world challenges of latency, scale, and cost optimization in streaming AI architectures. Finally, we’ll demo a live end-to-end example, from data ingestion to AI scoring and visualization, that you can later run on your own setup. ***About the speaker:*** The data and culture guy. Currently leading the Big Data Platform R&D at Wix. Yossi has over 15 years of experience building data intensive SaaS applications and growing the awesome teams that make them. He believes that the secret sauce for creating sustainable complex systems is good design practices, effective communication between people, and automating everything. In his day to day he works tirelessly on building the culture necessary to support these values and propagate them to others, one pep-talk at a time.

*GOhio!* turns 8!! 🥳 Come celebrate with us at [Pins Mechanical](https://www.pinsbar.com/locations/easton)! 😄 **Summary** Pins Mechanical Co. is a social entertainment venue that combines old-school games like duckpin bowling, pinball, and other classic arcade and table games with craft cocktails, local beers, and punch. The vintage-industrial atmosphere is designed for playful, face-to-face gatherings with friends, family, and colleagues, offering a casual and lively alternative to a typical bar. Pins' Easton location spans over 38,000 square feet, making it the largest in the United States. This massive entertainment venue features two floors, a mezzanine level with stadium seating, and three full-service bars. It offers 16 duckpin bowling lanes, two indoor bocce courts, and more than 60 classic and modern pinball and arcade games. For additional fun, the location is known for its two outdoor patios, an indoor slide, and an expanded patio pong setup. **Activities** As noted below, some machines take actual quarters. Pins has two change machines (one downstairs and one upstairs) that accept ones, fives, or tens (only), and return quarters (only). * *Duckpin Bowling* [Like Bowling](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duckpin_bowling) but with smaller balls, stubby pins, and no oil on the lanes. The cost is $9 per game per person. * *Pinball* [Who](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Who)'s a [wizard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinball_Wizard) on these [retro machines](https://pinballmap.com/map/?by_location_id=15311)? At $1 per play, everyone! Takes quarters. * *Arcade* Play classics like Gorf, Pac-Man, Gorf, Donkey Kong, Gorf, Galaga, and Gorf! The best part is, there's Gorf! And all the arcade games are free! * *Patio Pong* The classic college party staple but bigger. Instead of tossing a ping pong ball into cups, you use a regular ball and oversized buckets. There are two of these upstairs, and they're both free! * *Ping Pong* The most popular sport in China! They have two ping pong tables downstairs and two more ping pong tables upstairs. For those of you who have studied topological spaces and set theory, you will know this means they have four total ping pong tables. They have bubble gum dispensers with ping pong balls in them for 25¢ each. The dispensers take quarters. However, they also have racks where they store the ping pong paddles, and in these racks are slots for ping pong balls. It's not uncommon to see balls already here, so there's a chance you may be able to play ping pong for free if you want to. * *Hookie* You can't put your eye out! The safe alternative to darts: Hook thrown rings on a board. Outdoors on the upstairs patio, and free! * *Bocce* Like bowling, except there’s turf and a lot more balls. You can also knock your opponent’s balls out of the way. There are two of these upstairs, and they're both free! * *Foosball* Everyone loves [foosball](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_football)! 50¢ a game. Takes quarters. * *Giant Jenga* Stack massive wooden blocks into a tower, then take turns pulling out one block at a time without collapsing the tower. There are four of these sprinkled throughout the venue (two downstairs and two upstairs, with one on each patio), and they're all free! * *Skeeball* There are three skeeball machines on the first floor (near the Gorf machine!), and they're all free! * *Giant Connect Four* On the outdoor patio upstairs, and free! * *Bubble Hockey* This is upstairs. Up to four people can play at once, and it costs $1. Takes quarters. * *Cornhole* There are two cornhole lanes upstairs, and they're both free! * *Basketball* There are two basketball machines downstairs. They're tucked behind the downstairs bar, so they're not always obvious unless you go look for them. They're $2 per play, and they take quarters. * *NES and Sega Genesis video games* These are collections, downstairs (near the Gorf machine!), of video games that you can play for free! * *The Big Metal Indoor Slide* This large two-story slide is for kids, and certainly no adults would ride this. After all, it's not like it's free or anything. **Outdoor Patio** Pins at Easton actually has two outdoor patios. But for our purposes, only the upstairs one matters. See, it will be winter and likely cold. But their upstairs patio has multiple ceiling heaters and two massive gas fire pits that put out a ton of heat. Sitting out here may be a real option. As mentioned above, the upstairs outdoor patio has one of the venue's two Patio Pong setups, one of their multiple Giant Jengas, the Giant Connect Four, and Hookie. **Food** Pins doesn't serve food, but there's a [Mikey's Late Night Slice](https://www.latenightslice.com/) next door. This Mikey's is basically an extension of the Easton Pins; there's a large open doorway between both establishments. Mikey's has a fountain dispenser with Coke products. You can also get Coke and Diet Coke (but not Coke Zero, like you can at Mikey's) at the bars in Pins, but I think the quality of the soda pop from Mikey's fountain is better than that from the bar hoses Pins uses to dispense soft drinks. You are also quite allowed at Pins to either bring food in or order it in via your favorite delivery app. **Parking** I recommend parking in the [Worth Garage](https://eastontowncenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/parking-at-easton-updated-file-sept-25.pdf). It's literally right next door to Pins, and it's free as long as you park on Level 2 or above. They recently started charging people to park on Level 1, and you pay for parking on this level the same way you pay for street parking in Columbus, with the [ParkColumbus](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.parkmobile.parkcolumbus&hl=en_US&pli=1) app. I've seen them enforce this by ticketing people's cars, but I don't know how they actually compel payment. The garage is not a public street that actual cops can write you tickets for parking illegally on. If you have an actual ticket from a cop that you don't pay, they can go so far as to issue a warrant for your arrest. But all Easton has, seemingly, is, "[Please pay our ticket](https://eastonpreferredpark.com/)." Still, in my ongoing efforts to eliminate needless stress and aggravation from my life, I just park above the first Level. The actual address of the garage is [4049 Worth Ave, Columbus, OH 43219](https://www.google.com/maps/place/4049+Worth+Ave,+Columbus,+OH+43219/@40.0542293,-82.9137962,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x88388a86de3af559:0xc1dc8b4661fc834f!8m2!3d40.0542293!4d-82.9137962!16s%2Fg%2F11sgzjp4ml?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDkyNC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D). However, your GPS is stupid. The actual entrances to the garage are on the cross steets Brighton Rose Way and Fenlon St, not Worth Ave. Just keep this in mind once you get to the garage. **Where we'll meet** I'll post in the comments where I am. People will obviously want to explore different areas of the venue over the course of the event (and there's a lot to explore), but please just let me know (as in, come find me) once you've arrived. **Peroration** Come on out and say hi! 😄

We will see the 6 PM showing and I will post my seat so that we can sit together. We can grab something to eat after if people want and chat to round out the experience. This is a MUST SEE MOVIE for me. I hope you feel the same. I will CANCEL if there are less than 5 RSVPs on the movie date.
