Scaled Agile Framework

**Date:** 12 March 2026 **Time:** 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM CET **Location:** [Bolt HQ](https://maps.app.goo.gl/L1wd9xND6SeM4Y1u6) Join Bolt and TiDB for an exclusive in-person meetup where we pull back the curtain on scaling massive production workloads. Discover how Bolt leverages TiDB’s distributed power to navigate hyper-growth, and get a first look at how TiDB X is redefining the category with AI-native capabilities. We’ll dive deep into real-world use cases, debate cloud architecture, and show you why the future of the database isn’t just “distributed” — it’s highly intelligent, scalable, and unified. ## What’s on the agenda? * **The AI-Native Frontier:** Get an exclusive look at TiDB X, an AI-native database platform designed to unify OLTP, OLAP, and vector data, auto-tune performance, and simplify the development of LLM-powered applications. * **The Bolt Blueprint:** Find out how Bolt utilizes TiDB in production to sustain high-velocity workloads that maintain “five-nines” of reliability. ## Is this meetup for you? If you’re building, managing, or breaking systems at scale, you belong here: * **The Builders**: Backend, platform, and infrastructure engineers looking for a next-gen data stack. * **The Architects:** Database engineers and SREs tired of manual sharding and “re-sharding” nightmares. * **The Visionaries:** Technical leaders and AI engineers ready to integrate LLMs with enterprise-grade data. * **The Optimizers:** Anyone who believes “runaway costs” shouldn’t be the price of innovation. If you’re looking to level up your infrastructure or just curious about how AI is fundamentally changing database internals, come grab a seat and join the conversation.

🙋🏻‍♂️ **Recommended:** check the group description first - it explains our approach and what we focus on You can check out the main online events [here](https://www.meetup.com/online-astrology/?eventOrigin=your_groups) ⬅️ We work **live with natal charts** and explore astrology as a **practical, living system** \- not fortune\-telling or “5\-minute answers” to "*where is my money, partner or purpose"*. This is a focused chart reading where we look at **how a person is actually structured**, where their energy flows easily - and where tension, imbalance or unused potential lives. **What we do** • balance of elements (fire, earth, air, water) - what’s dominant and what’s lacking • strong planets and key aspects - core traits, intensity, recurring patterns • active houses - life areas your energy mostly spins around • leading life scenarios - social, creative, informational, standalone, etc. Using this foundation, we explore: * how aligned a person already is with their chart * where inner conflicts and shadows are located * how to translate chart insight into **real-life action**, so the chart starts unfolding on a higher octave. **How this differs from "interpretative astrology"** We don’t read *planets in signs, one by one* to draw a set of disconnected descriptions. That approach often creates more confusion the deeper you go. Here, the chart is treated as **one coherent organism** \- with structure\, hierarchy and internal logic\. **The format** • meet and greet • live chart reading & discussion • friendly, respectful atmosphere • open both to beginners and astrologers - questions and observations are welcome **How to prepare** Please send your **date, time and place of birth** in advance so I can prepare the chart. Come with real-life questions, for example: • What helps me restore energy? • Where do I lose focus or motivation? • What environments support me best? Come curious - leave with insight. 🏠Place: Reval Cafe Müürivahe.

Drake Lundstrom is presenting: Code Anywhere by Talking to your Phone Abstract: Have you heard the trend of people deploying code anywhere from checkout lines to doctors' offices? In this talk, you will learn how to talk to your phone and have an app on Azure to show your friend 5 minutes later. The basic DevOps tools you already know, plus a little bit of AI magic, are all you need! If you want to follow along, the demo will be in Azure with GitHub Actions and GitHub Copilot, and you can have it set up on your phone by the end of the session. Just come in with an Azure account and a GitHub repo. Join us for pizza, drinks, and networking @ Improving's office. Doors open at 5:45.

We will show a variety of methods for building agents that run in Microsoft Foundry. This covers the different types of agents: Prompt, Multi, and Hosted, as well as the development lifecycle using evals and traces.
