AI Engineering in Production: Agent Architectures, Flows & Coding Agents
AI Engineering in Production: Agent Architectures, Flows & Coding Agents
As AI engineering moves from experiments to production, the challenge is no longer just “using an LLM” - it’s architecting real systems around agents, context, and control. In this meetup, we’ll explore how companies build reliable multi-agent flows, refactor early hacks into scalable architectures, and get AI coding agents to produce real, shippable work. We’re bringing together experts from HoneyBook, DoorLoop, and Unity to share how they design agent architectures, evolve prototypes into robust systems, and turn coding agents into productive teammates. Join us for an evening where AI engineering gets practical, hands-on, and deeply real. —---- **Agenda:** 17:30 - 18:30 - Food, drinks and mingling 18:30 - Onboarding Zen: Orchestrating Multi-Agent Flows into One Whole Experience - Idan Doron, Senior Full Stack Engineer at HoneyBook 19:00 - Refactoring the Agent: From Hardcoded Logic to Unified LangGraph & MCPs - Maor Oz, Technical Lead at DoorLoop 19:30 - AI Coding Agents: From Vibes to Production - Nir Jacob, Senior Full Stack Engineer at Unity 20:00 - More drinks and mingling! The talks will be delivered in Hebrew. —---- **// Onboarding Zen: Orchestrating Multi-Agent Flows into One Whole Experience - Idan Doron, Senior Full Stack Engineer at HoneyBook** Forcing an LLM to behave the way you intend is a never-ending challenge, and we faced this challenge in our onboarding experience. At HoneyBook, our onboarding experience uses multiple AI agents - contracts, invoices, pipeline, and an onboarding specialist - each tied to a unique UI mode. That worked well until we realized real users don’t stick to a single intent, and they move from one context to another while staying with the same agent and the same UI experience. In this talk, we’ll explore how we built a multi-agent orchestrator that keeps onboarding seamless and context-aware. We’ll share how we designed intent routing, used “think tools” that guide reasoning without extra LLM calls, created safe fallback paths, and balanced model decisions with deterministic logic. ***About the speaker:*** Idan is a Senior Full Stack Engineer at HoneyBook, driving AI initiatives from product development to company-wide task forces. One of the first to introduce AI at HoneyBook, she now focuses on agentic AI engineering. In her free time, you can find her doing functional training or baking (though not at the same time). [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/idandoron/) **// Refactoring the Agent: From Hardcoded Logic to Unified LangGraph & MCPs - Maor Oz, Technical Lead at DoorLoop** How do you evolve from a fragile, hardcoded script into a scalable agent architecture? At DoorLoop, we began with almost no AI context, stitching together limited workflows without tools. It quickly became clear that this approach could not scale. In this session, we will explore the real engineering journey of building an AI platform, tracing the evolution from early RAG experiments to fully stateful, production-grade agents. We’ll cover the steep learning curve of adopting LangChain, the early limitations of tool-less and prompt-only workflows, and the pivotal shift to the ReAct paradigm. Finally, we’ll look ahead to the future of agent scalability, focusing on how the Model Context Protocol (MCP) enables clean, standardized connections between agents and internal tools, unlocking a more modular, extensible, and maintainable AI architecture. ***About the speaker:*** Maor Oz is an AI Technical Lead at DoorLoop. Over the past two years, Maor was a Technical Lead focused on strengthening the company’s infrastructure and developer experience. Six months ago, he transitioned into an AI Technical Lead role, where he now leads DoorLoop’s initiative to introduce and scale multiple AI agents across the company. In his free time, you can find Maor playing various instruments, creating music and playing video games. [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/maor-oz-a02129100/) **// AI Coding Agents: From Vibes to Production - Nir Jacob, Senior Full Stack Engineer at Unity** If you’ve ever found yourself in a never-ending debate with an AI where “You Are Absolutely Right!” you know the unique frustration of working with LLMs that sound certain but act chaotic. This talk digs into what’s really happening under the hood when AI tries to help you write code and why things so often go sideways. We’ll walk through real cases where good prompts went bad, bad context ballooned into messy diffs, and where the AI’s confidence outpaced its correctness. More importantly, we’ll explore practical methods to fix this with advanced context-engineering techniques, task delegation across specialized sub-agents, and patterns that dramatically reduce hallucinations and missteps. You’ll learn how to structure conversations, break down problems, and guide coding agents so they become dependable collaborators instead of unpredictable debaters. This session will show you how to turn your AI slop into vibes and finally get AI to help you write better code, faster. ***About the speaker:*** Nir Jacob is a Senior Full Stack Engineer at Unity. He has spent the past year leading the adoption of AI-powered coding tools across R&D. With deep experience in building high-quality software and a curiosity-driven mindset, he loves exploring emerging technologies, experimenting with new developer tools, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Outside of work, you’ll often find him tinkering with the latest AI assistants or testing whatever new tech lands on his desk. [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nirjacob/) —---- See you soon!

In person Rust January 2026 at AWS in Tel Aviv
In person Rust January 2026 at AWS in Tel Aviv
Date: 2026.01.07 Start: 18:00 \* **Mingling** (30 minutes) \* **Rust is the future of Linux drivers** by [Leon Vak](https://rust.org.il/people/leon-vak) Language: (Hebrew) Length: 60 min I gave a talk about Rust in the Linux kernel back in 2024. Back then, it was mostly an experiment and honestly, there was a lot of debate around it. Even though I was excited, for my daily work—writing DMA and PCIe drivers for our customers—I still stuck with C. The situation felt shaky: one day Linus would say something positive, and the next day a lead maintainer would quit because of the "non-technical nonsense." But while the headlines were messy, the developers kept working quietly and closing the gaps. Fast forward to today, the "experiment" tag is officially gone. With the new Nova driver for NVIDIA and subsystems like Binder already running in Rust on millions of devices, it is no longer a question of "if," but "when." I decided it’s the right time to take a deep dive into what we have today and see if we are finally ready to move our daily driver work from C to Rust.
Jan. 2026 Node.js Monthly Meetup
Jan. 2026 Node.js Monthly Meetup
\#\# Full Agenda From: Rotem Gani \| Chen Amrani \| Efi Merdler Kravitz : \[Hebrew\] **Seize the automation - Turning a One-Off Fix into Org-Wide Automation** ​Every engineering team has that moment: a repetitive, error-prone change that needs to be applied across dozens of repositories. Everyone knows it should be automated — but somehow it never is. ​ This talk tells the real story of how one such "annoying but necessary" fix evolved into a fully-fledged AI-powered automation platform used across an organization. From: Ron Klein [Hebrew] **Use Caching and Hashing to avoid Crashing** ​Sure, your framework has a cache. Your CDN has one too. But do you really know what they’re doing? ​In this session, we’ll build a tiny in-memory cache on purpose - so we can break it, fix it, and understand what real caching systems are actually solving. We’ll explore common failure modes like stale data, race conditions, invalidation pain, and the dreaded thundering herd, then level up with ETags and conditional HTTP requests. ​You’ll leave with a clearer intuition for how caching really works - and how to use it to make your backend faster, calmer, and more resilient.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Doing KPIs Right
Data & Analytics Wednesday - Doing KPIs Right
**Doing KPIs Right: a KEY to Analytics (and AI!) Impact!** On the one hand, KPIs are such a Business 101 concept that it may seem a little silly to dedicate an entire session to the topic. On the other hand, KPIs get handled so poorly so often that a case could be made that this meetup could just be one of the most impactful sessions of the entire year! We’re starting off the year at a new location: [COhatch Upper Arlington](https://www.cohatch.com/locations/columbus/upper-arlington/) but with a familiar speaker, Tim Wilson! We’ll be back at Rev1 in February, when the speaker will presumably not be Tim. Tim will make the case that effectively measuring performance of projects, campaigns, and initiatives (and even meetups!) should be a foundation for any data analytics program. Topics covered will include: the “two magic questions” of performance measurement, how to help business partners distinguish between outcomes and outputs, and effective tactics for collaboratively establishing KPI targets. He will also stick his neck out by demonstrating some of these techniques in real-time by measuring whether his talk lives up to the promise of this description! All CBUSDAW events are free thanks to our 2026 Sponsors: Clarivoy, Conductrics, What Box Consulting Group, and Piwik PRO. Check out [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com) for more information.
