*Pepijn Schoen*
**From ClickOps to Scalable Platform**
For engineers and engineering leaders, on culture and decision making.
Abstract
We ran everything in one Azure subscription. Leads and sales, installations and steering energy systems. Everyone had access. Most resources were created manually. It was unclear who owned what.
As the tech org grew from 100 to 300 people, reinventing security and scaling individually stopped working.
We'll cover how we approached platform building as gardeners rather than architects: observing what already works, replicating it, and letting rituals emerge before encoding them. We'll look at some mistakes we made along the way and what we learned from each.
*Dayana Mick*
**It works… but no one understands it: The hidden problem in DevOps**
For several years, I kept asking the same question to senior developers, staff engineers, and mentors: “What is a build?” I rarely got a clear answer. Not because people didn’t know, but because the mental model had faded somewhere between Terraform, Ansible, Kubernetes, and “just run this command.”
At some point, I realized I could run pipelines, deploy services, and fix things just enough to move forward, but explaining what was actually happening was much harder. And I was not the only one.
This talk is about a pattern I’ve seen across every company I’ve worked at. Systems that work, but are not really understood. Teams running platform commands from memory. Platform teams becoming bottlenecks. Incidents where even experienced engineers hesitate. And situations where people rely on tools without a clear sense of what is actually happening underneath. With AI, this is only accelerating.
This is a talk for anyone who has ever copy-pasted a command, watched it work, and decided not to ask further questions. It is especially relevant for junior and mid-level engineers navigating DevOps complexity, and for teams who are trying to scale tooling without losing shared understanding.

* Anyone who overthinks, freezes, or loses clarity under pressure
* People who want structured improvement, not just repetition
No prior experience is required.
**What This is NOT**
* A lecture.
* A motivational talk.
* A public performance.
* Unstructured open practice.
* Peer-led feedback or opinion-based critique.
**Before The Session**
Before the session, participants complete a short preparation form to clarify their goals and common communication challenges. This helps ensure the practice and feedback during the lab are as relevant and effective as possible.
**Optional:** Participants may submit a short video (1–2 minutes) or written questions. This is optional and used to personalise focus areas and examples during the session. No individual coaching is provided.

Is the Design Process Really "Dead"? | Product Management Society x Miro Meetups
***🔗 Link to registration: [https://luma.com/s8mfiusl](https://luma.com/s8mfiusl)***
We’re excited to invite you to a special edition of our next meetup - for the first time ever, Product Management Society Berlin is teaming up with Miro 🤝
This session will explore a timely topic: the future of the design process in an era of rapidly increasing production speed. While some chief designers at major companies have declared the design process “dead” or no longer fit for today’s pace, others strongly disagree. What changes when prototypes can be created in minutes? What are the limits? What remains essential?
In the first part, we’ll open the floor to different perspectives from across the room. In the second part, we’ll work together to explore and shape ideas for a more resilient design process.
Whether you're a PM, designer, or simply curious, you’re very welcome to join the discussion and contribute your ideas.
👉 Spots are limited - register on Luma using the link above ^
Looking forward to seeing you there!

AI in the Wild: From Engineering Reality to the Future of Work
Are you a software engineer, product owner, or HR professional navigating the shift toward an AI-driven world? Join us for an in-person meetup in Berlin, where we bridge the gap between high-stakes AI implementation and the rapidly evolving European labor market.
🙌 Special thanks to our host, Blue Card Agency, for supporting the community and providing the venue for this event!
🔔 Agenda
🔹 Welcome & Intro A brief opening by our hosts from Blue Card Agency.
🔹 Talk 1: "Beyond the LLM Hype: Process Discovery is the Real Bottleneck"
Speaker: Patrick Bunk, Co-Founder & Lead Architect
Automating 120k PDF forms a year in a regulated manufacturing environment isn't just about "reading text" — it's about surviving the messy reality of human logic. In this talk, we’ll dive into a real production case where the biggest challenge wasn't the model, but the "uncomfortable truth": rules live in people’s heads, exceptions conflict, and "correct" is negotiable until you write it down.
🔹 Talk 2: "The Present and Future of the Labor Market with AI"
Speaker: Milana Alenina, HR Partner
How is AI actually changing the way companies hire and value work? We’ll explore the structural shifts happening right now in the European market, from the need for candidates to be "machine-readable" to how organizations are redesigning themselves to fit the new reality.
⚡️ What’s in it for you?
We’re skipping the surface-level AI hype to talk about what’s actually happening in the trenches. Come for the real-world war stories of automating regulated workflows, stay for a brutally honest look at how AI is rewriting the rules of recruitment and organizational value in Europe. It's a chance to cut through the "vibes" and see the actual mechanics of the shift — followed by drinks and networking with fellow builders and strategists.
📌 Attendance is free, but spots are limited — register now to save yours!
📅 Date: 21st of April
📍 Location: Ziegelstraße 2, Berlin
🎤 About the Speakers:
Patrick Bunk, Co-Founder & Lead Architect — Expert in building robust AI pipelines and navigating the complexities of high-stakes automation.
Milana Alenina, HR Partner with 11+ years of experience who experiments with AI tools across various HR functions.

Maintainable Frontends for Symfony & Why every CMS needs MCP
Hello fellow Symfonians,
we are thrilled to announce the next user group meeting of the year, featuring two insightful talks that you **won't want to miss**!
This time we are hosted by c-base (Rungestrasse 20
10179 Berlin).
Come by and enjoy an evening of learning, networking, and socializing with fellow Symfony and PHP developers.
**Agenda:**
18:30: Doors open
19:00: Welcome and Introduction
19:20: **Talk 1: "Maintainable Frontends for Symfony" by Daniela Berger**
19:50: Break & Snack
20:00: **Talk 2: "Why every CMS needs MCP" by Roland Golla**
20:40: Socializing
**Talk Details:**
**Talk 1: "Maintainable Frontends for Symfony" by Daniela Berger**
In many web projects we find more backend devs than frontend devs, sometimes significantly so.
This often leads to devs with little frontend experience being asked to do frontend development anyway, and they often end up shaping their frontends in ways that will make their lives unnecessarily hard.
One common result are frontends that are functionally unmaintainable because each change - whether it is a new feature or a bugfix - requires implementing an exception to existing code, thus making the code increasingly and unnecessarily complex.
This is especially upsetting because with a bit of experience it is possible to implement light-weight frontend components with equally elegant CSS and JavaScript that are easy to extend and to adapt to new requirements without digging oneself into a deeper hole with each PR.
And since Symfony is making frontend development steadily more accessible to backend devs with Symfony US / Stimulus, this is a good time to take a closer look at \*how\* to structure these frontends.
This talk aims to a) introduce core frontend concepts that backend devs might not be aware of, b) show best frontend practices both on the code level and on the architecture level, c) show a few common mistakes that can be found in inexpertly implemented frontends, and c) introduce tools that will make consistent frontend development easier.
**Talk 2: "Why every CMS needs MCP" by Roland Golla**
Your content team already works in ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Yet the content still lands in the CMS backend manually, clumsily, slowly. MCP changes that. One sentence in chat becomes a published article. No copy pasting, no formatting, no clicking.
And the content ranks. On Google, on ChatGPT, on Perplexity, on whatever comes next. Good content written by AI directly into the CMS goes live faster and gets found.
I show you the MCP plugin for Sulu CMS: open source, built on Symfony, ready to deploy. But this is not about implementation. It is about the three questions every content team must ask: Why does every website need MCP? What does good AI content look like? And why is conversational content management better than anything you click together in a backend?
MCP makes content creation as easy as chat. If you can write, you can publish. No CMS training, no workflow, no waiting.
Live on stage: a complete workflow from idea in chat to published article in Sulu CMS. Everything open source on GitHub.
Don't miss these insightful talks, engaging discussions, and networking opportunities. We can't wait to see you at the **April Symfony User Group**!"
If you have any questions or accessibility requirements, please reach out to us. Also, if your company wants to be the next host for the User Group, just let us know!

**Transforming Classical Encryption to Post-Quantum Encryption for Financial Services**
Quantum computing is set to break today’s encryption, creating urgent risks for financial institutions. This session explores how organizations can transition from classical cryptography to post-quantum security using hybrid approaches, improved cryptographic visibility, and emerging compliance frameworks.
Revan cover practical steps to become quantum-ready without disrupting existing systems, with a focus on balancing security, compliance, and operational continuity.
**What you’ll learn:**
• Why the quantum threat is already relevant today, not just in the future
• How classical encryption (RSA, ECC) will be impacted
• Why hybrid post-quantum cryptography is the safest transition path
• The role of cryptographic visibility (CBOM) in managing risk
• How regulations like DORA and NIS2 are accelerating adoption
• How early adoption can strengthen security and create competitive advantage
**About the Speaker: Revan Ande** is a security researcher and founder of RivicQ, a startup focused on advancing next-generation cryptographic solutions. With a strong interest in post-quantum security and its impact on financial systems, he works on bridging the gap between classical encryption methods and quantum-resilient technologies.
He actively shares insights on emerging security challenges and innovations, with a focus on making post-quantum concepts practical and actionable for modern organizations.
**About Berlin Cybersecurity Social:** This meetup is open to cybersecurity professionals of all levels, from beginners to experts. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting your journey in the field, this event is the perfect opportunity to connect with others who share your passion for cybersecurity.
