Costruire sistemi moderni non significa solo scegliere le tecnologie giuste, ma avere il coraggio di ripensare architetture, processi e persino il nostro modo di lavorare. In questo quinto meetup dell’AWS Well-Architected User Group Italy esploreremo **due storie** molto diverse, ma unite da un filo comune: la **trasformazione**. Da un lato, l’evoluzione di un sistema complesso e maturo verso un’**architettura event-driven** capace di alimentare un social feed in tempo reale; dall’altro, sei mesi di sviluppo immersivo che raccontano come nuove **tecnologie possano cambiare** non solo il codice, ma anche **le persone** che lo scrivono. Al termine dei talk, **networking e aperitivo 🍕 offerto dallo User Group.** **TheFork Feed: costruire un social engine** Giovanni Laganà \- Fullstack Software Engineer II @ TheFork \| Author @ thelinkedinengineer\.com Ogni social network possiede un Feed, ma implementarne uno ‘from scratch’ su un’architettura matura con 20 anni di storico dati è una sfida ingegneristica complessa. Come si aggregano efficientemente attività distribuite su domini di business separati, gestendo al contempo il flusso di dati in tempo reale? In questo talk, Giovanni Laganà — Software Engineer in TheFork — analizzerà le decisioni architetturali critiche dietro il ‘TheFork Feed’ lanciato a luglio 2025. Esploreremo il passaggio da logiche sincrone a pattern Event-Driven e le strategie adottate per garantire performance e coerenza in un ecosistema a microservizi. **Sei mesi di sviluppo immersivo con Kiro : Coraggio, tecnologia e umanità** Massimo De Giorgio - Innovation Analyst @ Tabata Massimo De Giorgio e il suo team vivono da sei mesi un’esperienza completamente immersiva nello sviluppo con Kiro. In questo speech, Massimo condividerà il proprio percorso attraverso le diverse prospettive di imprenditore, project manager e sviluppatore, offrendo una visione concreta e multidimensionale dell’adozione di questa tecnologia. Sarà un’occasione per raccontare non solo i risultati nei processi di coding, ma anche la passione, le emozioni e i timori che accompagnano quello che Werner Vogels definisce un nuovo “Rinascimento”: una trasformazione tecnologica e umana che interpella chi ha avuto il coraggio di intraprendere un profondo cambiamento professionale e personale. **📍 Location** **TheFork – Palazzo dell’Informazione** Piazza Cavour, 5° piano – **Milano** **Da ricordare:** * 🎫 Porta la tua cartolina raccogli punti per il timbro! (Se non ce l'hai ancora, te ne diamo una nuova) * ✅ Registrazione obbligatoria (posti limitati) Ci vediamo in TheFork! 👋

**Are you ready for the Milano–Cortina Winter Olympics? We’re not.** **That’s why we’ve created our very own Ostello Bello "Olympic" Games: a glorious display of questionable athletic skills and high-level nonsense.** While the "other" guys are busy with the official **Milano-Cortina 2026** ceremonies, we’re bringing the real "action" to the streets of Milan. From February 6th, we aren't gathering to break world records; we’re gathering to break the laws of physics. This isn’t about the podium; it’s about the survival of the chillest. Get your "winter" gear ready, because we’re about to prove that being an elite athlete is 10% talent and 90% just showing up for the vibes. **The Incentive:** Every participant gets a **shot**. The "legends" who actually win take home an **Ostello Bello T-shirt or a Drink**. ## The Disciplines: Official "Technical" Standards Every day from **7 PM to 9 PM**, our "athletes" will face a rotating schedule of these elite winter disciplines: ### 1\. Air Hockey: The Wrist\-Flick Battle A high-speed duel where the only thing frozen is your gaze on the puck. * **The Goal:** Smash the plastic disc into the hole. * **Requirement:** Move your hand faster than your brain can process and celebrate every point like you’ve just secured a gold medal. ### 2\. Boxing\-Glove Beer Pong: The Clumsy Champion Challenge We took a classic and made it impossible by adding the "Yeti factor." * **The Twist:** You have to play wearing massive, padded boxing gloves. * **The Challenge:** Gripping a tiny ball with giant hands is the ultimate test of patience. Success here is statistically unlikely and basically a miracle. ### 3\. DIY Curling: The Professional Slide The most serious-looking sport in our program. We’ve replaced expensive stones with pots and ice with felt pads, but the tension is real. * **The Setup:** A "House" (target) taped on the floor and a "Hog Line" for the release. * **The Action:** Launch the pot while your teammates run alongside it with brooms, screaming *"Hurry! Hard!"* just like in the real tournaments. * **The Score:** Closest pot to the center wins. Clean floors are a bonus. ### BONUS DAY: The "Wildcard" Game The discipline is a mystery. Our local legends will choose the challenge. Expect the unexpected: and probably more shots. **AND REPEAT.**

**🎯 DARTS DARTS DARTS** Aim steady, drink steadily. Miss the board, blame the beer. Hit the bullseye, act like you meant it. Welcome to the most serious darts tournament you’ll ever play badly. ⋯⋯⋯ Ostello Bello Milano Centrale - Via Lepetit 33, Milano 🎫 Posti limitati. - Ingresso gratuito tramite registrazione Ti ricordiamo che nel corso dell’evento potranno essere effettuate delle riprese di immagini fotografiche e audio-video con diritti di utilizzo ad uso esclusivo del locale. www.ostellobello.com https://www.instagram.com/ostellobello.milanocentrale/

Ciao a tutti, Sabato 21 febbraio, vorrei dedicarea mattinata ad una bella camminata al Parco di Monza. La camminata durera circa un oretta e mezza/due. Si manterrà un passo adeguato a chiunque quindi portate chi volete 😊 e se avete dei pet 🐶 portate pure loro. Chi si vuole unire?? Ritrovo alle 9.30 all'ingresso di Porta Vedano.

Costruire una data platform in contesti enterprise è spesso una battaglia quotidiana. Dati duplicati, pipeline fragili e trasformazioni poco tracciabili. Processi di sviluppo sul dato difficili da testare, versionare e rilasciare in sicurezza. Cataloghi presenti ma scollegati dai flussi reali, governance dichiarata ma non operativa. Piattaforme che crescono nel tempo, aumentando complessità e perdita di controllo. Il paradigma Data Lakehouse open source promette ordine, scalabilità e flessibilità — ma come si traduce davvero in produzione, quando entrano in gioco: \- requisiti enterprise \- qualità del dato \- testing \- CI/CD \- governance reale \- responsabilità e ownership? 👉 Questo meetup nasce per rispondere a questa domanda, partendo da un caso d’uso reale, sviluppato e messo in produzione. **Agenda** * 18:30 – 18:45 **Benvenuto e Networking** * 18:45 – 19: 40 **Lakehouse Open Source in produzione: architettura, governance e developer experience in un caso reale** * 19:40 – 20:00 **Community Slot** (Proponi il tuo talk) * 20:00 – 20:30 **Q&A e Saluti** Registrati subito al meetup per ricevere tutti gli aggiornamenti sull'agenda. **Lakehouse Open Source in produzione: architettura, governance e developer experience in un caso reale** Il paradigma del data lakehouse open source rappresenta oggi una scelta strategica anche in contesti enterprise complessi. In questo meetup presenteremo uno use case reale, mostrando come sia possibile costruire una data platform moderna basata su tecnologie open source. Il talk si concentrerà sull’adozione di pratiche data-driven e developer-oriented, evidenziando il ruolo di **dbt** nel garantire replicabilità, qualità del dato, testing e integrazione con pipeline CI/CD. A completare il quadro, affronteremo i temi di data governance e data discovery attraverso **DataHub** e **OpenMetadata**, illustrando come un data catalog centralizzato abiliti tracciabilità, ownership e governance nel dato. Un percorso pratico per portare i data lakehouse open source verso una vera data platform moderna che possa rispondere a esigenze enterprise reali. **Lorenzo Pasco - Data Engineer @Seacom Società Benefit:** Laureato in Artificial Intelligence and Data Engineering a Pisa, fin da giovane, ho alimentato la mia passione per l’informatica e i videogiochi, unendo la tecnologia alla mia vita quotidiana. Al di là del digitale, il mio cuore batte per lo sport, in particolare il calcio, e sperimento la creatività in cucina. **Se stai cercando di capire come rendere i Data Lakehouse davvero “enterprise-ready”, questo meetup è l’occasione per confrontarti su un’esperienza reale, fatta di architettura, codice, governance e persone.** Come sempre, ci sarà ampio spazio per il confronto, le domande e le discussioni aperte

#### All’arrembaggio! Di solito nell’armadio di Alice si nascondono l’Uomo Nero, il Mostro Peloso, il Lupo Lupone… Tutt’altra faccenda quando esce dall’armadio un’onda d’acqua salata, seguita dal braccio robusto e tatuato di un terribile… pirata! Che cosa cerca proprio nella sua camera questo brutto ceffo? Per quale motivo, anziché starsene sulla plancia del suo galeone, è finito sul materasso del suo letto? E soprattutto perché blatera di riacciuffare la sua “ciurma barbina”? Il braccio del terribile bucaniere ti ha già acciuffato, portandoti con sé… dentro l’armadio della fantasia oppure è solo un sogno! #### Si salpa per l’Isola del tesoro! Uno spettacolo in cui il giovane pubblico diventa parte della messa in scena, proprio come gli amici di Peter Pan sull’Isola che non c’è, di Sandokan e della sua Mompracem. Un’avventura nell’affascinante e avventuroso mondo dei pirati: un’isola misteriosa, un tesoro da scoprire, un sortilegio da sconfiggere e gli immancabili calzini a strisce puzzolenti e “piratosi”. **Spettacolo di e con:** Alessandro Tacconi, Maria Carolina Nardino **Produzione:** Acetico Glaciale **Durata:** 50 minuti **Età consigliata:** 4-10 anni

**Summary** For this event, we will do the [Rhino Barn Tour](https://www.thewilds.org/rhino-barn-tour) at [The Wilds](https://www.thewilds.org/), a ten-thousand acre conservation center in Muskingum County. It is the largest such center in North America and one of the largest in the entire world. During this tour, we'll visit The Wilds' rhino herd in their state-of-the-art heated barns and learn how The Wilds' animal management team takes care of one of the largest herds of rhinos outside of Africa and Asia. **The date and time of this tour** We will be doing the 1:00 p.m. [Rhino Barn Tour](https://www.thewilds.org/rhino-barn-tour) on Saturday, February 28. The tour is scheduled to last 90 minutes. **What you need to do to attend** Signing up here on Meetup will not get you into The Wilds for the tour. You must go out to The Wilds' [website](https://www.thewilds.org/) and [buy a ticket](https://www.thewilds.org/rhino-barn-tour). Please [purchase your ticket](https://www.thewilds.org/rhino-barn-tour), then sign up here on Meetup so I know how many to expect. **Attendance cap** There are only eight total slots/tickets available for this tour. As I obviously have already bought one of the tickets, that leaves seven spaces for everyone else. If you are interested in this event, I urge you to [buy a ticket](https://www.thewilds.org/rhino-barn-tour) at The Wilds' website as soon as possible. Since their website is obviously public, nothing prevents other people having nothing to do with *GOhio!* from buying their own tickets, thereby potentially taking an available slot away from you. **Additional notes on attendance** I have now run several events at The Wilds. While the location of The Wilds and the pricing of the tickets generally leads to small turnouts, the people who have gone have all enjoyed it and were glad they went. If you've never been to The Wilds and you like zoos or animals at all, you are likely to find any tour at The Wilds to be a rewarding experience. **Tickets and pricing** [Tickets](https://www.thewilds.org/rhino-barn-tour) for this tour are $95, or $76 if you're a Wilds' member. I've posted screen shots, below, to help you be sure you're buying tickets for the correct event. Wilds' memberships pay for themselves if you go to The Wilds at least twice a year, and [Columbus Zoo members](https://www.columbuszoo.org/membership) get a discount on memberships to The Wilds. I will always run at least two events a year at The Wilds. Tickets for all Wilds' tours must be purchased at least 24 hours in advance of the actual tour. **Cancellations and refunds** Per The Wilds' [Cancellation Policy](https://www.thewilds.org/policies): *In order to be eligible for refund and accrue no rescheduling fees, cancellations must be made at least 14 days in advance of reservation. Cancellations made within 14 days of reservation will not receive a refund.* You may [contact The Wilds](https://www.thewilds.org/contact) at (740) 638-5030 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., or you can email them at information@thewilds.org. **Waiver of liability** After you purchase your ticket, you will likely be asked to fill out a waiver of liability. This is a very short document and should take you no more than two minutes to complete. **Where we'll meet** We will meet at The Wilds, whose actual address is [14000 International Rd, Cumberland, OH 43732](https://www.google.com/maps/place/14000+International+Rd,+Cumberland,+OH+43732/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x8837dae07a595557:0xa1ceca93325a8bd1?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111). Please try to be there by 12:30 p.m. For most Wilds' tours, a shuttle bus will take you to the actual spot of the tour. So think of this as though you're going to the airport to catch a flight. It helps to be on time. The Wilds generally asks that people arrive at least thirty minutes because the scheduled start time of their tour. **GPS / Getting to The Wilds** The Wilds is in a very rural area, but I've never had a problem getting there with my GPS (I have Verizon). I've also uploaded a JPG map, below, of Muskingum County. Sometimes, though, it's hard to get a signal when you're at The Wilds and getting ready to leave. So you might want to consider downloading an offline map in Google Maps. Your cell phone should pick up a signal, however, within a few minutes after you leave. The Wilds' Visitor Center does have free Wi-Fi. **Carpooling?** If you want to carpool, I recommend discussing this in the comments, below, to this event. While I don't myself carpool, I will do what I can to help you arrange something if I can. **The weather** Dress for the weather. Just because the barn is heated doesn't mean it will be warm. And wear closed-toed shoes. Wilds' tours typically run no matter what the weather is. **After the tour** Once we're done with the rhinos, we'll head over to the very highly rated [Y-Bridge Brewing Company](https://ybridgebrewing.com/). The brewery is about thirty minutes from The Wilds, and it will be on the way back to Columbus for most, if not all, of us. The brewery's actual address is [1417 Linden Ave Ste D, Zanesville, OH 43701](https://www.google.com/maps/place/1417+Linden+Ave+d,+Zanesville,+OH+43701/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x8837edd6cc50824f:0xe3a0af1ccb2aefbf?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111). Y-Bridge Brewing does not serve food; however, they have several [food options](https://ybridgebrewing.com/food-options). I encourage you to check these out ahead of time on their website for yourself. However, here are a few of them: *Within walking distance -- 120 feet away* * [Angry Bull Saloon](https://www.facebook.com/AngryBullSaloonZanesville/) (pizza & subs) * The Corner Pub Sports Bar and Grill (classic bar food) *Delivery options -- [Door Dash](https://www.doordash.com/)* * [4 Star Pizza](https://fourstarpizza.com/), (740) 452-9300 * [Donatos](https://www.donatos.com/), (740) 452-7900 * [Pizza Cottage](https://www.pizza-cottage.com/), (740) 455-6000 * [Dominos](https://www.dominos.com/), (740) 455-3126 * [Papa John's](https://www.papajohns.com/), (740) 450-4100 If you live in the area or can't make The Wilds but still want to meet us at the brewery, that's fine too.

Communication is everything in life 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.
