Agentic coding with OpenCode & Composer Deep Dive
Hello fellow Symfonians,
we are thrilled to announce the first 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: "Agentic coding with OpenCode" by Damijan Cavar**
19:50: Break & Snack
20:00: **Talk 2: "Composer Deep Dive" by Nils Adermann**
20:40: Socializing
**Talk Details:**
**Talk 1: "Agentic coding with Opencode" by Damijan Cavar**
Summary (ChatGPT generated):
AI coding assistants are evolving beyond “vibe coding” toward **agentic, spec-driven development**. This talk explores why prompt-based workflows break down at scale and how structured specifications create a reliable foundation for autonomous coding agents.
You’ll see how **OpenCode**, an open-source, model-agnostic coding agent, uses planners, implementers, and reviewers to turn specs into verifiable code while keeping context small and repeatable. The session also covers practical security considerations, sandboxing strategies, and real-world lessons from using agents on non-trivial projects.
**Talk 2: "Composer Deep Dive" by Nils Adermann**
This talk will take the audience on a deep dive into Composer. We'll start on the surface with the big picture of Composer (how exactly do require/update/install relate to json/lock/vendor), followed by commands and arguments not widely known and used (e.g. bump, why/why-not, update options like --with-all-dependencies, --minimal-changes, and --ignore-platform-req=php+ and what exactly the plus means). We'll then advance to the underlying concepts like the platform repository, security concepts around Composer plugins and answer questions like "Why is there a hash in the lock file and how to resolve conflicts?", or "Why do repositories need to be defined on the root composer. json?" and finally reach into dependency resolution with a quick explainer on how Composer uses a SAT solver and boolean algebra to decide which packages to install. Back above water, the talk will end with an outlook on changes we're planning for Composer and [packagist.org](http://packagist.org) in the future.
Don't miss these insightful talks, engaging discussions, and networking opportunities. We can't wait to see you at the **February 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!

Real-time flight data streaming, anomalies, predictions, and visualizations
Join us for a hands-on workshop by Olena Kutsenko on Wednesday, February 25th from 5:30pm hosted by SPACE SHACK Coworking!
**Venue:**
**SPACE SHACK Coworking**
Akazienstraße 3A, 10823 Berlin, Germany
**Agenda:**
* 5:30pm – 6:00pm: Welcome, Food/Drinks & Networking
* 6:00pm - 8:30 pm: Workshop by Olena
** So that Olena has an idea of audience priorities, please fill in the [pre-workshop form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeJsBjgkL2EXvPtBScXtI5yAv6N9gFg64QmMajMUiMmaPllxQ/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=117948459316244235775) when you can (no personal info is collected)**
** Speaker & Workshop Details:**
Olena Kutsenko, Staff Developer Advocate, Confluent
**Hands-on workshop: real-time flight data streaming, anomalies, predictions, and visualizations**
**Workshop Overview**
In this hands-on session, we'll build a real-time analytics pipeline using flight data and modern streaming tools — step by step, and without hand-waving.
We'll start by streaming data into Apache Kafka using Confluent Cloud, process it with Apache Flink, and land it in Apache Iceberg using Tableflow. From there, we'll query the data with Trino and turn it into dashboards using Superset. Everything runs in a practical setup you can reproduce later, including Docker and cloud-managed services.
Along the way, we'll also look at anomaly detection and simple predictions using built-in functions, so you can see how real-time insights can be added without building custom ML pipelines or complex models.
This session is all about doing, not slides. You'll see how the pieces actually fit together, what decisions matter in practice (regions, credentials, formats), and how to go from streaming data to analytics in a way that scales.
If you're curious about real-time analytics, Kafka + Flink in the cloud, or how streaming, analytics, and lightweight predictive use cases come together in the same pipeline, this workshop will give you a clear, working mental model — and code you can take home.
No prior experience with Kafka, Flink, or Iceberg required! Just bring your curiosity and a laptop!
**Technical Prerequisites:**
To make sure you can get hands on during this workshop, please make sure the following are installed on your system (**Make sure your bring your laptops!)**

Agentic Deployment & Flink’s Data Platform Ecosystem | Data Engineering Meetup
Let’s kick things off for another Meetup, this time focusing on Agentic Deployment and Flink’s Data Platform Ecosystem.
Join us on February 26th in Berlin and bring all your questions! : )
**Pawel Wiszniewski: *"From Ingestion to Insight: Flink’s Data Platform Ecosystem"***
[Pawel Wiszniewski](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pawel-wiszniewski/) is a Senior Data Engineer at[ Flink](https://www.goflink.com/shop/de-DE/deals/?campaignid=23008119587&adgroupid=190905032608&creative=676430819949&utm_source=google&utm_medium=search&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23008119587&gbraid=0AAAAABiSYNQr0V_xYSzvjjStCH6G-hLqP&gclid=CjwKCAiAkbbMBhB2EiwANbxtbQ-a9DxijUVV0nw5nXTXr037lYGiy6MIv5YbFjeo1qsZJStEPdBNxxoCPFQQAvD_BwE) and a well-known face at our Data Engineering Meetups. We're super excited to see our guest now stepping into the presenter's role.
About his keynote: "You have data, analysts, and business use cases. But you can't simply stitch them together with spreadsheets, SQL queries, and Python scripts and still expect business users to trust the dashboards. To ensure data quality, reliability, security and freshness, you need a well organised set of tools and processes: a Data Platform. In this presentation, I will explain how the Data Platform at Flink was built, outline its high-level architecture, and describe the key products, tools, and processes that enable us to operate over a thousand data models and maintain full visibility into the current state of the business."
**Sneha Nafade: *"AI Agents & Agentic Deployment"***
[Sneha Nafade](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sneha-nafade/) is a Cloud Architect at [Diconium](https://diconium.com/en/?utm_term=&utm_campaign=2025+%7C+Remarketing+%7C+DE/EN+%7C+All+Visitors&utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=ppc&hsa_acc=9083156072&hsa_cam=23281606208&hsa_grp=&hsa_ad=&hsa_src=x&hsa_tgt=&hsa_kw=&hsa_mt=&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ver=3&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23483494785&gbraid=0AAAAADQqBJ6jY8TgZt7Ocjy37F5Gup62I&gclid=CjwKCAiAkbbMBhB2EiwANbxtbfuZyXSVyFENwFuHv9tAcygFWNM24hiXlk3rvKVpwBFfM__jFEBHBRoCMpsQAvD_BwE) with a rich experience in Cloud & Cybersecurity Architecture & Engineering.

Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit - Barret Blake
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit: From Intent to Implementation*
Spec-driven development flips the traditional workflow on its head: instead of code being the source of truth, the specification becomes the backbone of design, collaboration, and delivery. In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification.
You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written.
This talk will cover:
--What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t)
--How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows
--Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development
--Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence
Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects.

What Causes Your Roller Coasters in Life?
Do you sometimes feel like you do well in life then something happens and you slide back, never quite getting ahead.
At this Meetup you'll find out how to identify what actually causes the lows, the highs and everything in between. More importantly you’ll get the secret of how to gain control over your life so the highs are higher and the lows go away.
Wouldn’t it be nice to stop the wild roller coaster ride for good? Or at least make it a fun roller coaster ride, with more ups and downs.
There is a hidden factor that will be going over and you’re going to be quite surprised what it is and how much it affects your life.

Do you want more Self Confidence, less Self Doubt, more Happiness, less Anxiety, and more Love? This event is an introduction to how to handle irrational emotion. How often are yours or another's emotions out of control? What is that about??? I have asked these questions and after much search have found answers and am sharing.
Maybe you have suffered a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? After that, you try to move on but you just can't. Possibly you have a thought or emotion that hangs around for days and you just can't shake it. What is all this stress, anxiety, depression, and self doubt? It's just crazy! It's not the real you. You can find out what is at the root of all this.
This is a local event.
