Hello Gophers, Welcome back for another year of Go talks and networking! Would your company like to host our meetup? Let us know! If you'd like to give a talk - submit your proposals here: http://goo.gl/forms/54YvJT223F All talk formats work: short talks (5-10 min) as well as regular length (25 min). If you have more ideas - talk to us at the Gophers slack: https://invite.slack.gobridge.org/ in the #berlin channel, and follow us on twitter: https://twitter.com/gdgberlingo **Speakers**: *Simon Schulte* is a Tech Lead with nearly a decade of experience building scalable backend systems across fast-paced product companies. With a background in business informatics and a passion for Golang, cloud infrastructure, and DevOps, he has spent his career solving complex engineering challenges. He is particularly excited about leveraging AI and LLM workflows to eliminate the tedious, repetitive work that slows developers down — think tech debt, boilerplate, and documentation — so engineers can spend their energy on what actually moves the needle. For Simon, AI isn't about replacing developers; it's about giving them back their time. *Daniel Peralta Madriz* is a backend engineer from Costa Rica with around 6 years of experience working with Golang, although, sadly, he's been spending most of his time lately working with Node.js :(. He is interested in distributed systems, scalability, and developer experience, and is currently experimenting with how to leverage LLMs to safely and autonomously execute repetitive tasks. *Michael Morgen* is a Platform/infra engineer by day, runtime and network optimizations by night. Join in person at: **Talon.One** Talon.One is the incentives engine behind 300 of the world’s most-loved brands, unifying loyalty and promotions on a single flexible platform. Their customers run millions of real-time incentive decisions across markets, channels, and use [cases.As](http://cases.as/) incentives become more strategic than ever, they are continuing to raise the bar for what businesses can build and how fast they can build it Wiener Str. 10, 10999 Berlin https://maps.app.goo.gl/8eMjgWes1E4TBA3c7 or virtually at: https://www.youtube.com/live/qh__TQ1bMF0?is=hw21pk0ZE3HGyaaT *** Agenda 10:49 PM: Networking Networking over drinks and food 7:30 PM: Welcome Welcome words from the organizers 7:35 PM: Talk 1: Go-ing Against the Chaos: Deterministic LLM Workflows / Daniel Peralta Madriz (Backend developer) & Simon Schulte (Techlead of Webhooks and Notifications) @ Talon.One LLMs are powerful, but “it works most of the time” isn’t good enough for production. In this talk, we’ll walk through how to design deterministic workflows around non-deterministic models using Go. From structured iteration loops to validation steps and guardrails, you’ll learn how to move beyond prompting and start engineering reliable LLM-powered systems 8:10 PM: Announcements and break Announcements, HR lost & found, open mic 8:30 PM: Talk 2: About Go Memory Allocator / Michael Morgen, Platform/infra engineer @ Mirantis A short talk about how Go gives memory to your program. We will look at the main allocator parts, why small allocations are usually fast, when Go asks the OS for more memory, and a couple of simple examples where this knowledge helps performance. 9:05 PM: Networking Networking over drinks and food *** Hosted By Natalie Pistunovich, Organizer Ole Bulbuk, Organizer Tim Scheuermann, Organizer Anderson Queiroz, Organizer Complete your event RSVP here: https://gdg.community.dev/events/details/google-gdg-berlin-golang-presents-hybrid-may-golang-meetup-1/.

Join this Professional Communication session — to sharpen the skills for architectural pitches, elevator pitches, interviews. This time we meet in the Monbijou park. 💡 How it works The event is split into two parts: 1. **Communication (10 minute rounds)** – One participant answers a round of design and behavioral questions. Each other participant gets to ask him one question. 2. **Feedback Round** – The group provides feedback on communication, structure, and clarity. Constructive criticism is encouraged. 💡You will be asked: * **Light design problems** (high-level reasoning, not code) * **Behavioral questions** (“Tell me about yourself”, “Describe a challenge you faced...”) No need to prepare anything in advance — just bring curiosity and an open mind. 💡Note: location is the entrance to Monbijou park

How to be a Better Communicator Communication is everything in life Sunday, 23 February at 2pm. You are only as successful as your ability to communicate. \- What if you could confidently talk to anyone? \- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation? \- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence? You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.
