In the last DevBP meetup before the summer break, we will venture to the world of **Continuous Delivery**, exploring the craft of shipping software safely and continuously — from the practices that keep your releases boring, to the hard-won lessons of building the infrastructure behind a feature toggle. \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- **Continuous Delivery Never Died. It Became a Harness.** with [András Fincza (Draven) - XUND](https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrasfincza/) The PR-centered pipeline was already buckling under big batches, delayed feedback, and overloaded reviewers. Agents just turned up the volume. But the discipline that made CD work in 2015: trunk-based development, fast feedback, sociable testing, feature flags, quality gates. These matter more in 2026, not less. This talk is about what to keep from the old playbook, what to upgrade, and what to stop pretending works. **Building a Feature Flag service** with [Zoltán Dávid - ConfigCat](https://www.linkedin.com/in/zoltan-david/) Everyone knows what a feature flag is. Far fewer know what it takes to build and run a feature flag service at scale. In this talk, we'll go behind the scenes of ConfigCat: the technical decisions, the scaling surprises, and the business lessons that came from serving billions of feature flag evaluations. No introductions to feature flagging, just honest insights from years of building a product in a space where reliability isn't optional. \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- This English-language event will be held at the **Shapr3D office**, where we'll provide snacks and drinks to fuel conversations. Arrival is from 17:30, the presentations start at 18:00. You can also find the recordings of previous events on the [@DevBPMeetup YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@DevBPMeetup).

Open Heart Meditation Sessions with Amrita Rani (Live in-person and online on selected Thursdays via Zoom) You are warmly invited to join the Open Heart Meditation Sessions with Amrita Rani. These sessions are created both for beginners and seasoned practitioners who wish to deepen their meditation practice, stabilize awakening, and walk the path of enlightenment with guidance and support. Whether you are new or experienced, each gathering offers a grounded structure to help you build consistency in daily practice and grow in confidence on your spiritual path. At the heart of Open Heart teachings is direct recognition. Through the Two-Part Formula and precise meditative guidance, you are supported in shifting from self-based mode into selfless awareness, again and again, until cessation of self-based suffering takes place. A central and deeply transformative practice in Open Heart is guru yoga. Through guru yoga, the practitioner directly connects with awakened awareness through devotion, transmission, and experiential recognition. With the help of this profound method, one recognizes their true selfless ease, the natural, effortless state beyond space and time. Alongside guru yoga, the sessions include insight meditation (Vipashyana), tantric methods, dynamic concentration, trauma-healing techniques, and foundational practices such as Bodhicitta prayers. Each session includes guided meditation, space for questions, reflection, and personal support. Rani’s meditation sessions are held live on Zoom on selected Thursdays from 18:30 to 20:00 (CET). Recordings may be available for continued integration and practice on her YouTube channel, The Sweetness of Enlightenment. Participation fee: 15 € per session Please make your payment in advance via PayPal before joining, to Rani’s PayPal account: kaisaeskeli@gmail.com Upcoming Thursday Sessions for Summer Season: 14.5.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 4.6.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 11.6.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 18.6.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 25.6.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 2.7.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 9.7.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 23.7.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 30.7.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) Zoom link for all sessions: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89766267672 Welcome all!

**English below ----------------------** Ez most az első picit kötetlenebb könyves eseményünk lesz. Nem egy konkrét könyvet fogunk kibeszélni, hanem inkább kinézünk az Ünnepi Könyvhétre, és meglátjuk, hogyan működik ez a lazább forma. De aggodalomra semmi ok, a könyves kibeszélő és a duma mindenképpen az esemény része lesz. :) A menetrend a következő: **14:00 – Gyülekező és bemutatkozás** A Vörösmarty-szobor környékén találkozunk. Egy nagyobb társaságot keress, és hogy biztosra menj: a kezemben egy Moby Dick könyv lesz, szóval ha ezt látod valakinél, mi vagyunk azok. Kezdésként tartunk egy gyors bemutatkozást, és átbeszéljük, ki mit szeretne megnézni. Én személy szerint csak körbe akarok nézni és megállni ott, ami épp megtetszik, de ha neked komolyabb terveid vagy konkrét célpontjaid vannak, nyugodtan jelezd, biztosan találsz majd valakit, aki veled tart. **14:15 – Indulás a standok közé** 14:15-kor elindulunk, szóval kérlek írj az eseményhez, ha késel. Ha nem érsz oda kezdésre, az sem gond, később is simán be tudsz csatlakozni, rugalmas az egész. A megbeszélt irányok mentén kicsit szétválunk kisebb csoportokra, és teszünk egy kört a forgatagban. **15:00 – Találkozó a Kiskirálylánynál(Vigadó tér)** A nézelődés után 15:00-kor a Kiskirálylány-szobornál találkozunk újra a Vigadó téren. Várunk egy picit, hogy mindenki odaérjen, majd együtt átgyalogolunk a Városháza Parkba (ez egy laza 10 perces séta lesz). **15:20 - 17:00 – Könyves duma a Városháza Parkban** Letelepedünk a parkban, ahol picit átbeszéljük a könyvheti élményeket, meg persze jöhet a kötetlen beszélgetés bármilyen könyvről. A hivatalos részét 17:00-kor zárjuk, de utána is ott lehet maradni tovább, ameddig van kedvünk sztorizni. Gyertek, nézzünk szét, aztán dumáljunk egy jót a parkban! **English version / International attendees:** This is our first casual, free-form event. Instead of discussing a specific book, we’ll visit the Festive Book Week together and see how this format works. * **14:00 – Meetup:** Near the Vörösmarty statue. Look for a bigger group and a guy holding a **Moby Dick** book. We'll do a quick intro and share what everyone wants to check out. * **14:15 – Heading out:** We'll explore the stands in smaller groups. If you're late, just drop a comment here and catch up with us later. * **15:00 – Re-grouping:** At the Little Princess Statue (Kiskirálylány) at Vigadó Square, followed by a 10-minute walk to Városháza Park. * **15:20 - 17:00 – Book Chat:** We'll settle down in Városháza Park to talk about our Book Week finds and books in general. The official event ends at 17:00, but feel free to stay longer! > 🌍 **Language note:** Since this is a local event, most attendees will likely speak Hungarian, but the organizers and many of us speak fluent English. Feel free to join us, we are happy to chat in English and make sure you're included!

Over a billion documents processed. Millions of Veterans impacted. Hundreds of thousands of employee hours saved. Faster decisions. Greater accuracy. More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans. We created Smart Search, the world’s largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping what’s possible. Since then, we’ve built a suite of AI‑driven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomes—accelerating benefits decisions for our Nation’s Veterans. Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served. This is a follow up to the AWS re:Invent 2023 "Intelligent Document Processing with Gen AI for Public Sector" presentation.

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you were quoted in *Truth in Comedy*, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**! The idea behind improvised comedy is to create entire scenes from scratch. A suggestion is taken from the audience and laughter is built on the spot. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway, Make Some Noise,* or *Wild 'n Out*; it can also be done in a longer way, to tell a complicated story, like *TJ & Dave*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and FREE!) weekly comedy event, brings the games for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Afterward, many members will hang out in *Gresso's* itself and get to know each other. Not only is this a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, your public speaking, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and build relationships that will last a lifetime, and you do that while laughing your butt off! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "*Yes, And*" that you'll have a blast!

We are bringing Microsoft Build sessions to Columbus Ohio! The Central Ohio Azure Meetup and Central Ohio .NET Developer's Group (CONDG) are coming together to bring some of the labs and breakouts from Microsoft Build to your backyard.

Please RSVP via [Microsoft Build //localhost:columbus | Microsoft Reactor](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/reactor/events/27247/).
