Join SnapSoft and the AWS Serverless community for a night of scaling and security. We’re diving into **multi-agent GenAI** workflows for massive **document generation** on **Bedrock**, paired with a high-stakes look at **enterprise PKI** and the hard lessons learned from intermediate **PCA expiration**. Pizza and beer included! 🍕🍺 **Agenda** 18:00 - Arrival 18:15 - Large-Scale GenAI Document Creation on AWS 18:50 - Tick-Tock: Lessons from a Near-Miss PCA Expiration 19:25 - Networking, **Pizza, Drinks** **Large-Scale GenAI Document Creation on AWS** This session showcases a real-world GenAI solution built on AWS, where Amazon Bedrock and other AWS managed services power a multi-agent workflow for document ingestion, retrieval, and large-scale automated document generation. One of the key outcomes was the ability to generate multiple hundreds of pages in one go, while maintaining structure, context, and quality across complex documents. We will explore the architectural decisions made, how we would improve it today. Along the way, we highlight key trade-offs, common anti-patterns, and emerging best practices for building scalable, future-proof GenAI solutions. **Tick-Tock: Lessons from a Near-Miss PCA Expiration** PKI is the silent engine of enterprise trust, but its complexity often stays hidden until something goes wrong. This session provides a practical overview of enterprise-scale PKI architecture before deconstructing a real-world crisis: an almost expired intermediate signing PCA. We’ll explore the cascading technical fallout across the infrastructure and share battle-tested strategies for maintaining crypto-agility. Join us to learn how to manage these critical lifecycles before the "silent" failures start. **SPEAKERS** **Patrick Nanys** Patrick is an ML Engineer focused on taking AI systems from idea to production. His background spans large-scale NLP infrastructure, LLM applications, agentic workflows, and custom ML systems, both in high-throughput enterprise environments and in client-facing AI projects. **Márton Varga** Márton is a Cloud Engineer at specializing in AWS architectures for large-scale enterprise clients. He has a track record of building complex hybrid networking solutions and robust landing zones using **Terraform and Terragrunt**. With a focus on infrastructure efficiency and security, Márton enjoys deconstructing the "silent" critical systems—like PKI—that keep the enterprise running.

💜 Csak nőknek szóló PyLadies esemény! 💜 Sziasztok PyLadiek! Ez alkalommal bepillantunk a legintenzívebben fejlődő AI-technológiák világába. Elsőként pár fogalmat és alkalmazási területet nézünk meg, majd pedig csinálunk Pythonban egy saját LLM-et. Felépítjük komponenseinket, és ki is próbáljuk, mire képes egy alaprendszer. A szünet utáni második részben az igényeinket kibővítjük, a rendszerkomponenseket nagyobb tudású elemekkel helyettesítjük, és így építünk fel egy, a gyakorlatban is használható megoldást, egy lokális RAG-rendszert. 👨‍💻 Előadó: Sepp Norbert 🗓️ Programterv Múltkori alkalmakból tanulva, most hosszabb szünetet hagyunk a ket előadás között, hogy legyen időnk beszélgetni és megismerni egymást :) • 17:30 – 18:00 Megérkezés, setup • 18:00 – 19:00 Előadás I. • 19:00 – 19:40 Szünet, Networking • 19:40 – 20:35 Előadás II. • 20:35 – 21:00 Záró gondolatok, elköszönés (A programterv változásának jogát fenntartjuk.) 💻 Mivel készülj? Workshop jellegű alkalom lesz, így ajánlott, hogy legyen nálad egy programozásra alkalmas számítógép. A meetup előtt egy héttel részletes telepítési és előkészítési útmutatót küldünk. Ha régebbi vagy kisebb teljesítményű géped van, akkor sincs gond – az első részhez nem lesz szükség komolyabb erőforrásokra. 💜 Kit várunk? Olyan lányokat/nőket, akik érdeklődnek az AI és a Python iránt, és szeretnék megérteni, hogyan működnek a modern nyelvi modellek, illetve kipróbálnák magukat egy saját rendszer építésében. 📍 Helyszín Balance Irodaház – 7. emelet Dél (Lifttől balra) Cím: 1139 Budapest, Váci út 99 🌍 Nyelv Az esemény nyelve: magyar (és Python) 🤝 Szponzor HCL Technologies Starschema Kft.

*“We should use evidence and reason to do the most good.*” **William MacAskill - EA.** What if doing good wasn’t about intention… but about *optimization*? **(Event in english!)** In this session, we explore the philosophy of Effective Altruism (EA), a modern movement led by thinkers like William MacAskill, which argues that we should use reason, data, and careful prioritization to do the maximum amount of good possible. This raises some uncomfortable questions: Can morality be reduced to numbers and outcomes?Have we been donating to under-effective causes? Are we obliged to make more money so that we can donate more? We’ll examine key ideas behind EA: • Maximizing impact over good intentions • Choosing causes based on effectiveness • The ethics of “earning to give” • The growing focus on long-term future risks And we’ll challenge them through discussion. **Introduction of guests (15 minutes)** We start with a short introduction of the guests with the question: * Which do think is an effective charity to donate? **Questions (1 hour and 45 minutes)** 1. Utilitarianism. What it is, and why is it having a strong comeback. 2. Non-consequentialism vs consequentialism – which serves humanity better? 3. Is this EA a more rational moral system… or an inhuman one? 4. Would you rather save your friend, or 5 strangers far away? 5. Does it ignore emotions, relationships, and personal meaning? 6. Does the life of 3 different given people have the same worth? 7. Is saving more human lives the best measure of doing good? Even if the future would be more livable with less people (due to resource scarcity or other reasons)? 8. Who gets to decide what “doing the most good” or “more effective” really means? 9. Should plutocrats have all the authority about shaping the future? Or would there be better alternatives? 10. Longtermism: should positively influencing the long-term future be a key moral priority at all times? 11. EA and longtermism: are they securing a better and more fair future, or creating a way to a new dystopia? 12. How important is the association of a movement with a scandal? *** ### **RSVP:** Please confirm your attendance here on Meetup to save your space and if you cannot assist, yield your space to another person in the waiting list. We welcome donations from 1.000 HUF (min 400 HUF) to keep the costs of the meetup. **If you are looking to order food, or drink alcohol-free wine, you dont need to donate for the group.** Thank you!

The Men’s Circle of Excellence Gathering, for men who seek truth, mastery, and a life beyond mediocrity. The goal is simple: to support each other in mastering mind and spirit, breaking free from comfort, and moving toward excellence in every area of life. Modern life offers endless distractions but little real connection. Too often, men walk the path of self-development alone, or struggle against the negative pull of today’s society. The Men’s Circle of Excellence was created to change that: to bring support, accountability, challenge, and community energy. We gather in person to share openly, confront fears, and inspire one another to reach higher. Here, power is rooted in virtue, strength is balanced with empathy, and ambition is guided by wisdom. How it works: • Welcome & introductions: Meet new members and reconnect with familiar faces. • Open sharing: Each man speaks about his current challenges, fears, or obstacles. • Honest reflections: The group responds with insight and encouragement. • Connection Time: After the circle, we'll have extra time to relax, talk, and build friendships. Recommendation: • Before the event, take some time to think about your current situation and what to bring into the circle. Limited to max. 8 men per gathering to keep the space focused, personal, and meaningful. Confirm your attendance to reserve your spot.

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!
