Join us for an evening focused on how AI agents are moving from experiments to real production work! **Agenda:** **18:00** Gathering, food & drinks **18:30** Sherlock: monday.com’s tickets investigator - The story of an agentic workflow, from POC to production **19:00** First AId Kit **Talk Abstracts:** **Sherlock: monday.com’s tickets investigator - The story of an agentic workflow, from POC to production** What does an agent that actually works on real production tickets look like? In this talk, I’ll share the story behind Sherlock, a supervisor agent that started as a personal initiative, born from identifying a recurring pattern in ticket investigations: data collection, analysis, synthesis, and drawing conclusions. We’ll walk through the journey from a POC built during an internal hackathon, through designing an agentic workflow based on LangChain and LangGraph, writing prompts that embody a way of thinking and an understanding of the product and business context, and integrating with organizational analytics and observability systems. We’ll also cover the real challenges of moving to production: splitting agents by responsibility, context limits, guardrails, human-in-the-loop, architectural changes, and measuring impact. **First AId Kit** What if we could move a big chunk of bug fixing and solving production issues to agentic AI? That would be so cool. In this talk we will go through the end to end process of setting up a background agentic workflow that detects production errors, finds their root causes, assesses the right solution and opens a PR - so you wake up in the morning to tasks almost fully completed for you by your loyal agent. Together We will go over the entire process - the infra challenges, the agentic accuracy issues, and the final result used nowadays in real, massive production environments. Production issues still slow teams down. Finding the root cause is noisy, fixing it is manual, and the cycle continues. But how do you break that loop? In this session, you’ll see how you can wire production context into an AI agent that not only detects failing endpoints, but also traces the root cause, proposes a fix, and opens a pull request automatically. **Bios** **Kamie Shami-Schnitzer - Senior Full Stack Developer** Kamie is an engineering team lead at [monday.com](http://monday.com/) with 5+ years of experience as a software developer, with a degree both in Computer science and Biology from Tel-Aviv university. Kamie is passionate about bringing real impact into products, integrating AI both in workflows and in the product itself. In he spare time, Kamie can be found traveling around the world with her family, reading or listening to some good music **Inbal Levy - Forward Deployed Engineer, Hud** Inbal Levy is a Forward Deployed Engineer and one of the earliest engineers at Hud. Leveraging a decade of cyber and defense experience, she helps organizations adopt AI by designing agentic workflows enriched with real-time production context. Her work empowers engineering teams to operate more efficiently, move with greater confidence, and resolve production issues faster than ever.

Join us in the search for the true, the good and the beautiful. Each meet is in one of two formats: a shared reading and open discussion of philosophical texts, or a continuing series of lectures based on the reading of a fascinating book of philosophy. Both formats are in Hebrew, with some reading of English texts, assisted whenever needed. We meet weekly Friday on 80 Rokach Boulevard, Tel Aviv, at the gardens of the Council for a Beautiful Israel. Welcome anyone interested in understanding life more deeply, regardless of age or prior knowledge. The love of wisdom is enough. Please join our WhatsApp group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/JeAa2uRNTlF0rdrVTLzUC0?mode=wwt Note: there's always enough sitting room, but some of it is on the grass or a mat on the floor.

As data ecosystems evolve, the transition to a Lakehouse architecture has become the standard for organizations seeking flexibility and scalability. But how do you manage it correctly without being tethered to unpredictable cloud costs or getting lost in file management? In this meetup, we’ll explore the practical side of managing an Iceberg Lakehouse – from building a 100% open-source stack to achieving optimal compaction in Apache Spark. We’ll dive into how to maintain high performance, keep your data organized, and stay in full control of your metadata. 18:00–18:30 → 🍕 Welcome Drinks & Networking 18:30–19:15 → Escape the Clouds: Building a Pure Open Source Lakehouse// Yoav Nordmann, Backend Architect, Tech & Group Lead @ Tikal Are you tired of vendor lock-in and the unpredictable costs of proprietary data warehouses? Join us for a deep dive into building a 100% open-source data stack that doesn't compromise on performance. We will start by constructing a high-performance warehouse including compute, storage, and observability, then expand into a full-scale Lakehouse. Learn how to integrate Apache Iceberg and manage it with cutting-edge tools, ensuring you own your data, metadata, and compute-without the "cloud tax." 19:15–20:00 → Getting Compaction Right in Apache Spark // Ehud Eliaz, Chief Architect and Co-Founder @ DualBird Compaction is a fundamental operation in Spark-based data lakes, yet getting it right is far from trivial. This talk breaks down how compaction is actually performed in Apache Spark and how it is used with open table formats like Apache Iceberg. We’ll focus on the practical side of running compaction at scale: critical configuration choices, Spark's behavior during runtime, and where performance issues tend to appear. Walk away with a clear picture of what “good” compaction looks like in real-world systems. **Important Note:** To help us prepare for seating, please complete your registration on Luma.

Dale Gnidovec, Curator of the Orton Hall Museum of Geology at The Ohio State University, will be presenting a program he has wanted to share with us for a long time: Plate Tectonics. His description of his program: Continents on the move - Nothing in Earth history makes sense without moving continents - it tells us why mountains, volcanoes, minerals, and fossils are where they are. This talk examines the evidence for continental drift, why it was disbelieved, and explains how the more-encompassing theory of plate tectonics was developed and eventually proven. Dale is an energetic, incredibly knowledgeable, and very entertaining speaker and this will be another wonderful program by Dale. Hope to see you there! Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid.
