Everywhere else, they're expensive, slow, and painful. We'll show how we collapsed our entire service fleet into a single process — first to replace our mock-heavy tests with fast, real E2E tests that boot every service in-process; then to slash Kubernetes dev environment costs by replacing a pod-per-service with a single pod; and finally to enable fully local development with instant feedback, zero deploy cycles, and real debugging. Same architecture, three wins. ​ **Stav Levinger \| Senior Full Stack Engineer \| Riskified** ​Unblocking the Node.js Event Loop: Real-World Troubleshooting In a NodeJS Consumer ​What happens when a perfectly healthy and robust Node.js service suddenly stops responding, fails its health checks and gets killed by Kubernetes? ​In this talk, I’ll share a real production incident from a high-throughput, Kafka-driven system, where a single consumer began collapsing under unusually large datasets. ​What initially looked like a routine performance issue quickly turned into a deeper investigation: growing lag, stalled processing, misleading signals, and a bottleneck hiding far from where we first looked. ​We’ll walk through the debugging journey step by step, examine practical profiling techniques to narrow down the search, and ultimately uncover the real root cause. ​**Or Kaplan \| Director of Engineering \| Remitly Israel** ​Implementing Distributed locking algorithms in Node.js ​Description ​Protecting shared sensitive shared resources from race conditions is hard enough when running in a single process. Let's make it harder: how do you do it in a distributed system? Scale it up and run it in a production system that serves millions of transactions. See where we’re going here? ​In this talk, I will take you along our journey of implementing distributed locks in Node.js, how they broke, and how we evolved our algorithm over time to support thousands of requests per second in a mission-critical financial system. We will discuss different ways to implement distributed locking, using different tools and approaches. Learn how to improve performance to support more than 10,000 transactions per second which are all trying to access the same resource while running workflows on multiple data centers and how to verify it doesn’t break. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- ​​ Kindly be informed that attendance at the meetup is on a first-come, first-served basis until capacity is reached.

The TLV PUG is back! Join us for an afternoon of talks, food, drinks, and good company at Microsoft Reactor Tel Aviv on Level 50 with those incredible skyline views. This time we've got three great talks lined up. Oh, and there will be swag. You're welcome. **Talks:** **From Zero to AI Agent: Building with Microsoft Foundry Agent Service** *[Engin Diri](https://www.linkedin.com/in/engin-diri/) \- Senior Solutions Architect\, Pulumi* AI Agents are everywhere right now, but how do you actually build and deploy one without losing your mind? In this talk, Engin will walk through how to use Microsoft Foundry Agent Service together with the Microsoft Agent Framework and Pulumi to spin up, configure, and manage AI agents, all as code. We'll go from an empty project to a working agent, covering the gotchas and the good parts along the way. **OpenClaw Bots Done Right: No Security Nightmares Included** [Dor Serero](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dorser/) \- Principal Architect\, Microsoft So you want to run an OpenClaw bot, or any agent for that matter. Cool. But have you thought about what happens when things go sideways security-wise? In this session, Dor will share real-world lessons on running OpenClaw bots without the kind of setup that keeps you up at 3 AM wondering if something just went horribly wrong. We'll cover common pitfalls, hardening tips, and practical patterns to keep your bot humming without opening the door to trouble. **OpenClaw Running My Life 🦞 (and I'm not sure If I can take them back)** *[Roey Zalta](https://linkedin.com/in/roey-zalta) \- Data & AI Solutions Engineer\, Microsoft* What happens when you stop treating OpenClaw as a demo and start letting it run real parts of your life? In this session, Roey will walk through his personal setup, showing how he balances security, privacy, and convenience while giving agents real autonomy. From always-on monitoring to reactive automations, you'll see what it actually takes to operationalize OpenClaw beyond toy examples. We'll cover the trade-offs, the unexpected behaviors, and the lessons learned when your agent becomes a system you rely on daily. Sometimes helpful, sometimes slightly too enthusiastic. **Schedule:** * 5:00 PM — Doors open, food, drinks & networking * 5:30 PM — From Zero to AI Agent: Building with Microsoft Foundry Agent Service (Engin Diri) * 5:55 PM — OpenClaw Bots Done Right: No Security Nightmares Included (Dor Serero) * 6:20 PM — OpenClaw Running My Life 🦞 (Roey Zalta) * 6:45 PM — Networking, food & drinks * 7:30 PM — See you at the next one! **Where:** Microsoft Reactor Tel Aviv Menakhem Begin Rd 144, Level 50 Tel Aviv-Yafo After the official wrap-up, we'll continue any interesting discussions at a nearby bar for those who want to keep the conversation going. Spots are limited, so grab yours early. See you there!

During this session, we will explore the concept of *Infrastructure as Code (IaC)* and learn how to manage AWS infrastructure using code instead of the traditional manual interface 💻. We will also have a hands-on part where we deploy an AI project (Frontend + Backend) on AWS step by step 🚀. 👩‍💻 The session will be delivered by members of the Educational Team: Francis Muadi & Lujain Allawneh ✨

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!

Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration! This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired. **New to electronics or curious about tinkering?** You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building. While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability. This session will be at the Worthington Park Library in the Olentangy Meeting Room.
