**6:30** **pm:** **Welcome Announcements**
**6:40 pm: Modern Indie Game Development : Case Study** by Felix Li
What began as a focused project to learn the Unity physics engine evolved into a full-scale indie development journey with the creation of Pool 2. This talk explores the process of taking a classic sport and "making it my own" through creative twists, unique stage designs, and experimental variants. I will dive into the technical evolution of the project, including the logic behind coding intelligent AI opponents and the challenges of implementing online multiplayer. To conclude, I will provide an honest retrospective on the gameâs reception and the pivotal lessons learned that are now shaping my approach to future projects. Attendees will gain insight into transitioning a technical prototype into a feature-complete game.
**7:20 pm:** **Automating Plant Care with IoT** by Suyash Joshi
Ever wished your plants could take care of themselves while youâre away? In this talk, Iâll introduce *Plant Buddy* \- a fun IoT project built with Arduino\, MQTT and a bunch of sensors that monitor light\, soil moisture\, and water levels in real time\. It can even water the plant automatically when needed\. Think of it as a smart companion that keeps your plant happy and alive\, even when youâre not around\. Simple\, practical\, and a great way to explore IoT hands\-on\.
**8:00 : Live Showcase : Play Games and interest with the IoT Project**
**9:00: Close**

London DevOps #99
We're excited to be heading to Civo Tech Junction for our March meetup. We'll have some great talks, detailed below, and drinks and food for everyone. **We are short of volunteers so please get in touch if you can help with logistics on the night**.
**6:00pm - Arrival**
**6:45pm - Introductions**
**7:00pm - The Talks**
**Building Secure CI/CD for MultiâCloud: An AWS Builderâs Perspective - Alam Ahmad**
âShift left on securityâ sounds simple until youâre juggling AWS and Azure, Terraform templates, and CI/CD pipelines moving faster than you can keep up. In this talk, AWS Community Builder Alam Ahmed shares how he brought practical, automated cloud security to life across multiple cloud environments without slowing delivery.
Through realâworld stories and live demos, Alam shows how to embed policyâasâcode tools like Checkov and Trivy into GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Jenkins pipelines. Expect working examples you can drop into production and see how openâsource tools (Terraform, Prowler, Trivy, and more) can help teams catch misconfigurations before they ship.
Youâll learn how to bridge security patterns between AWS and Azure, apply SecurityâasâCode that actually works, and harness the openâsource ecosystem to move faster while staying compliant.
Alam Ahmed began his career in a Network Operations Center before shifting into cloud security and automation. Heâs an AWS Community Builder in Security, a regular meetup speaker (Elastic London, Yorkshire DevOps, Cloud Native London), and an openâsource contributor pursuing opportunities as a Junior Cloud Engineer or Application Support Engineer. His talks connect handsâon ops experience with actionable security automation for the real world.
**Into the Agentic Mud Fight: Surviving the Shift from Scripts to Vibes - Ivan Pedrazas**
We started with Copilots, then the AI IDEs arrived. Then the Terminal took the spotlight with Claude Code, which was nice... until the OpenClaw landed, and now we're knee deep in an "Agentic Mud Fight", and the DevOps community is caught in the crossfire.
While AI Agents promise a future of self-healing infrastructure and autonomous deployments, they introduce a radical paradigm shift. We are moving from deterministic, script-based automation to probabilistic, goal-oriented autonomy. DevOps was built on the comfort of "if this, then that," but Agents operate on the principle of "this is likely the best next step." Suddenly, weâre wondering if an ever-mutating pipeline is actually the way to go (or just a very fast way to break things).
In this light-hearted journey through the trenches, weâll look at the three pillars of our new daily reality: security, observability and reliability.
With two decades of experience in distributed systems, Ivan Pedrazas has spent the last year at the forefront of the AI evolution. He is currently building the next generation of developer tooling, integrating AI agents and MCP servers to create seamless workflows between LLMs and (non-deterministic) production environments.

Learn to Meditate - Free Ongoing Course - Tuesdays in Covent Garden @ 7.30pm
Join us for a Free Ongoing Course - Learn to Meditate - Tuesdays in Covent Garden @ 7.30pm - Sahaja Yoga Meditation
Please arrive early - join any week - all welcome
Friends Meeting House, 8 Hop Gardens
Covent Garden, London, WC2N 4EH
To enter - please press the Bell marked - 'The Fry Room'
Achieve Yoga & enter into a state of âthoughtless awarenessâ.
In the heart of London, very close to Covent Garden, there is a weekly class in free meditation.
**Achieve Yoga & Learn to Meditate in 2026 - 7:30- 9:00pm Tuesdays**
The first experience of Sahaja Yoga meditation is called Self Realisation. With Sahaja Yoga Meditation we generally sit on chairs to achieve Yoga, effortlessly & spontaneously. As such no Asanas (exercises) are required, no mat or special clothing
## What is Meditation?
Meditation is a state of mental silence or rest, where our attention is aware, but not engrossed in thinking. It is known as âthoughtless awarenessâ. It is achieved when the indwelling Kundalini energy awakens and carries the individual attention beyond the level of the 6th chakra, into the seventh chakra, known as Sahasrara.
## Yoga!
It is here we achieve Yoga! As the mind finds rest and silence, we become able to feel our inner Self (Spirit). This can be tangibly felt, it actually manifests, as a cool wind, breath or breeze, often experienced on the palms of the hands or at the top (crown) of the head. It is a spontaneous, effortless natural happening.
Each week many people experience this actualisation at one of the many free meditation classes on offer
## How to get into balance?
The secret of the Sahaja Yoga method resides within us, at the base of the spinal chord, in a triangular bone called the âsacrum boneâ. Since our birth in our sacrum bone dwells an inner energy called in Sanskrit Kundalini; it is characterised as a feminine energy and once activated, this energy rises along our spine until it reaches the top of the head and finally connects with the universal energy. This union is called âyogaâ in Sanskrit.
## Kundalini
As our indwelling Kundalini rises through the central channel, this benevolent feminine energy activates the chakras, removing all the impurities from them and nourishing the entire inner system. It is through this happening that we are elevated into âthoughtless awarenessâ, the mental silence of true meditation

1st Birthday Celebrations
In March, over a year ago, both Igor & I met for a lunchtime walk and catch up. We spoke about the huge success and volume of tech speaking events, but very little to none, for social networking within the community.
It was at this moment that the concept for JavaScript & Social was created. A few days and conversations later, we had confirmed a name and our first Meet-Up.
12 months later and now we are celebrating a year of the community and Meet-Up group.
This month, we would like to invite you along to a pub social where we can simply catch up with good conversation, share a drink and maybe a slice of birthday cake too.
It would only be fitting to meet at the same place that held our first-ever Meet-Up. So we will gather from 6 pm at The Wilmington in Clerkenwell, EC1R 4RL and go on till whenever you choose to leave.
Thank you to everyone who has supported, attended, joined the group or plans to in the future. I hope to see you to celebrate this month.

**JĂŠrĂ´me ĂtĂŠvĂŠ**
Mockapot: A percolator library in Rust
JĂŠrĂ´me is the author of the Mokcaccino library, which started as a way to marry my interests for Rust and for search technology. He will discuss the design, the tricky aspects of Rust he learned along the way, and how Rust and Python complement each other.
**Evadne Wu**
JavaScript Sandboxing using Deno on top of Elixir & Erlang/OTP.
Intelligent AI agents can write code that calls existing APIs in secure sandboxes, allowing higher token efficiency, better performance, and lower per-turn latency. Denoâs primitives in Rust can be integrated into such an agent harness, utilising the Elixir programming language and the Erlang/OTP runtime, which allows you to construct agentic systems that are massively concurrent and fault-tolerant.
