Liebe Freunde des gesprochenen Wortes, Ob es darum geht, ein Meeting zu leiten oder im Familienkreis einen Toast auszusprechen – diese Situation vor Menschen zu stehen und etwas zu vermitteln kennt so gut wie jeder. Wir lernen gemeinsam, dabei gelassen und souverän zu bleiben, wertvolle Informationen zu transportieren und unser Publikum zu begeistern. **Was macht unseren Club besonders?** Unser "Mut und Rede" Club trägt nicht umsonst seinen Titel: wir pflegen einen wertschätzenden Umgang miteinander, sodass die Hemmschwelle möglichst gering ist, sich selbst auf die Bühne zu trauen. **Wie läuft so ein Clubabend ab?** Es warten vorbereitete Reden auf euch, aber auch ihr habt die Möglichkeit in geschütztem Raum eine spontan improvisierte freie Rede von 1 bis 2 min vor Publikum zu halten. Das klingt vielleicht im ersten Moment etwas abschreckend – aber es ist eine ganz tolle Erfahrung über sich selbst hinauszuwachsen. Und egal was passiert, ihr werdet immer für Euren Mut belohnt. Und es wird auch immer geklatscht. Wir freuen uns, Euch kennenzulernen! Hier findest du die genaue Wegbeschreibung: www.mut-und-rede.de/kontakt#anfahrt Um besser planen zu können freuen wir uns über vorherige Anmeldung: kontakt@mut-und-rede.de https://www.mut-und-rede.de Es findet grundsätzlich jeder Clubabend statt, auch wenn laut meetup nur wenige Teilnehmer zugesagt haben.

Und als drittes Thema ist geplant, welche Branchen befinden sich in einem strukturellem Wandel und bieten daher gute Investment Möglichkeiten. An unseren Treffen können alle Interessierte teilnehmen, egal ob Profis oder Neulinge im Aktiengeschäft.

The question is no longer whether to use them, but what it actually takes to make them work once the demo is over. This WeAreDevelopers PreDay meetup is for builders, founders, and practitioners wiring AI agents into real codebases, CI/CD pipelines, developer platforms, and knowledge systems. The evening focuses on the honest conversations that rarely fit into a conference talk: what breaks at scale, what context engineering really looks like, and where the failure modes hide. The theme is **connected intelligence**: how graph-based reasoning, smarter pipelines, and agentic code review are changing production AI systems, and what engineering teams need to do differently to support them. We will explore constraint satisfaction in agent decision-making, agentic AI in production, AI-powered development workflows, and Java’s role in the future of AI systems. No vendor pitches. Just the stuff that runs in production.

**\>\> Please note that the event's location will be sent to you once you RSVP <<** Hey, I’m Annabelle, and I’m a recovering bulimic. I struggled with bulimia for 15 years, and I’ve always wished there was a space where I could talk about it openly, without judgment, without shame, just honesty, support, and people who *get it*. People who are also on this journey. People who want to heal and figure out who they are beyond bulimia. So, I decided to create that space. **What is this group about** * A space where you can talk about your **binge eating or bulimia** without feeling judged. * A space to reconnect with yourself — the *you* that exists beyond the eating disorder. * A space for support and real connection with people who are going through (or have been through) the same thing. * A place to share your wins *and* your hard days, and be met with encouragement and support. **What to expect** * Journaling prompts, discussions, games, readings from ED-related literature, meditations, and more. * Deeper conversations — not just about the ED, but about who you are underneath it all. **Who is this for?** * **This group is open to women who are struggling with binge eating or bulimia and *want to recover.*** **What this *isn't*** * This is not therapy. I’m not a therapist and won’t be giving advice on nutrition, exercise, or anything medical. * This is not a place to talk about numbers, weight, calories, or daily food habits. * This is not a place to give unsolicited advice. If someone asks for support, great — but advice will only be shared if it’s asked for. * This is *definitely* not a space that promotes or glorifies eating disorders. **A bit about me** I’m 33, I live in Berlin, and I have a very eclectic taste in music — but I always come back to Nightwish. When I’m not reading memoirs or self-help books, you’ll usually find me looking for a new café around the city or walking in the forest or a park. Some of my favorite podcasts include *The Rich Roll Podcast*, *How I Built This*, *We Can Do Hard Things*, and *The School of Greatness.* I’m a certified life coach, and I’m passionate about guiding people to unlock their own truth and remove the mental blocks that hold them back from pursuing their purpose. Right now, I’m writing a weekly blog called *Life Beyond Bulimia*, which you can find on my Substack. **Before you sign up** The location of this group will be revealed once you RSVP. While the space is kindly provided to us for free, we are asked to contribute 1€ per person per meeting (including myself). To make sure everyone is heard, the meetings will be limited to 10 people at a time. Can’t wait to meet you! Until then, know that you are stronger than you think. 🌹 Annabelle

**[IMPORTANT NOTICE registration is HERE](https://luma.com/wh28yfqv)** ​**Please bring a valid ID (driving licence or passport) with you on the day, as it will be required for entry to the venue.** Join **Aerospike** **AWS, Adjust and Miro** for an evening of technical talks focused on the challenges of running real-time, business-critical systems at scale. Hear firsthand lessons from engineers managing large datasets, database migrations, and cloud infrastructure availability in production. From Miro's Redis-to-Aerospike migration on Kubernetes to AWS best practices for capacity planning and resilience, speakers will share practical insights gained from operating demanding workloads where performance and reliability matter. ​Connect with fellow engineers, architects, and technology leaders from Berlin's tech community over drinks and networking. ​ ​**Agenda** **17:30 – 18:00 - Welcome & networking** **18:00-18:10 - Speed vs Capacity: Designing Data Systems for Real-Time Scale** *Dirk Möller, Regional Lead Germany and EE, Aerospike* In high-performance data systems, balancing RAM and disk is key to real-time performance at scale. This session explores the technical nuances of database architecture in today’s AI-driven era, where workloads demand low latency, massive scale, and adaptive infrastructure. Drawing on real-world, mission-critical systems, we’ll show how to achieve the right mix of speed, scale, cost-efficiency, and reliability - designing architectures that meet today’s real-time demands while staying sustainable and affordable. **18:10 – 18:30 - Scaling Beyond Millions of Transactions** *​Leonardo Muñoz, Platform Engineer, Adjust* A behind-the-scenes look at how Adjust powers high-throughput, low-latency workloads at scale using a distributed database platform running on bare metal infrastructure. Leonardo will explore the architectural and operational decisions behind the deployment, the challenges of managing dedicated hardware at scale, and the lessons learned from years of production experience supporting mission-critical workloads. **18:30 – 18:50 - Pod Ready ≠ Data Safe: Migrating a Critical Dataset on Kubernetes** *Yuriy Chernikov, Staff Software Engineer, Miro* ​ Miro migrated one of its most critical datasets from a legacy caching platform to a modern distributed database running on Kubernetes - and not everything went according to plan. This practical talk covers what the migration actually required, the design decisions that made failures survivable, and the operational lessons that only emerge when managing datasets measured in terabytes. **18:50-19:10 - Managing Amazon EC2 Capacity and Availability** *Nati Cohen, Sr. Specialist Solutions Architect, Compute, AWS* ​ Modern data-intensive applications require infrastructure that delivers high performance, scalability, and resilience. Organizations often seek to leverage the latest storage-optimized EC2 instances, select larger instance sizes for improved performance, place infrastructure close to data producers and consumers, and scale efficiently as business demands grow. In this session, we'll explore how to balance these performance requirements with cost optimization and capacity availability. We'll review the various EC2 capacity and reservation models, including Capacity Reservations, On-Demand Instances, Savings Plans, and more. Learn how to combine these options to optimize cost, performance, and availability for large-scale production workloads **19:00-20:00- Networking** **[IMPORTANT NOTICE registration is HERE](https://luma.com/wh28yfqv)**

Hallo, es ist wieder so weit, der zweite Freitag im Juli ist schon nächste Woche! Deshalb habe ich im Neffes draußen im Innenhof für uns reserviert. Wenn das Wetter schlecht werden sollte, haben wir die Ecke vor dem – ausgeschalteten – Fernseher für uns :-). Ich freue mich schon, euch wieder persönlich zu sehen! Und hier der übliche Ankündigungstext: Unser zweimonatliches Treffen steht wieder an! An jedem zweiten Freitag eines ungeraden Monats treffen wir Selbständige, Unternehmer und Freiberufler aus der IT uns wieder um 19:00 Uhr im Neffes. Bei einem gemütlichen Zusammensein werden wir uns über fast alle Themen unterhalten. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf den beruflichen Themen. Z. B. wie gehen andere mit den Kunden und deren Mitarbeitern um, was sind die neuesten Insider Infos von den verschiedenen Unternehmen, wie sieht es bei den anderen mit den Einsatzorten und Arbeitsbedingungen aus und vieles mehr. Es wird wie immer ein interessanter Abend mit einem umfangreichen Erfahrungsaustausch werden, der einen auch beruflich weiterbringt. Mit dem DBITS e.V. wollen wir die Anerkennung von IT-Freiberuflern in der Gesellschaft und Politik vorantreiben. Dort gibt es leider noch einen sehr großen Aufhol- und Aufklärungsbedarf und damit viel zu besprechen und zu erfahren. Des Weiteren bietet uns der Verein ein breites Netzwerk an Leuten mit den gleichen Zielen und Problemen. Aber wie gesagt, das Ziel ist ein schöner, informativer Abend, es gibt keinen Mitgliederzwang. Nimm teil, wir freuen uns auf dein Kommen! Viele Grüße und ich freue mich schon auf ein Treffen am nächsten Freitag!

Highlights and Hidden Gems in SQL Server 2025 With so much emphasis on cloud data platforms and AI these days, SQL people can feel left behind by all the marketing hype. SQL Server 2025 was officially released in November of 2025, though, and contains a ton of improvements that will make our SQL Server deployments a bit faster, better, and more secure. There are even more improvements tucked into the release that never made a marketing blog or press release that you'll likely be learning about for the first time in this session! Join this session to learn about what makes your high availability a little more available, your performance a bit more performant, and your database more developer and app-friendly. Come spend an hour with SQL people talking SQL Server 2025 – the good, the "not quite ready for prime time", and the hidden awesomeness.
