Serverless Architecture

Hey there, awesome people! 😊 We've got something exciting to share with you—our next big event! When? May 5th, 6:30 PM Where? Autogrill headquarters, Strada 5, Rozzano (MI) Join us at the Innovation Hub and the Factory Food Designers, the beating heart of gastronomic innovation for the Avolta/Autogrill Group. It's a true idea incubator, where chefs, pastry chefs, nutritionists, designers, food bloggers and technologists meet every day to anticipate trends and bring new flavors, products and concepts to life—the same ones that end up in Autogrill stores around the world. The space is organized into dedicated areas, each with its own specific function: the Food Hall, designed for meetings, events and coworking sessions the Food Academy, where staff are trained and show cooking sessions with top chefs take place Area 51, the space for free-form experimentation, which also houses a small High-Tech Restaurant with table service and a chef experience table the Concept & Food Tech Lab, where Autogrill's main formats are prototyped and tested before hitting the road Here are some interesting links about the venue and sponsors: Avolta Next Milano: https://avoltanextmilano.autogrill.it/ Factory Food Designers: https://www.autogrill.com/it/storie/factory-food-designers-la-ricerca-costante-delleccellenza Was Coffee: https://www.autogrill.it/wascoffee/ Now, here's the scoop: We're diving into a time when software isn't just following orders anymore—it's thinking, planning, and playing it smart. Enter AI agents! These are like the new superheroes—smart systems that see what's up around them, make cool decisions, and go for it to hit their goals. So, what's in it for a food & travel retail company like Autogrill? Let's find out together! In our chat, we'll break down AI agents into real-life examples straight from Autogrill's turf—from the highway pit stops to our Factory Food Designers innovation lab right here in Rozzano. And guess what? We're rolling out Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK), this open-source mastermind that helps you whip up, run, and show off multi-agent systems on Google Cloud. Oh, and we'll even throw a live demo on stage! Please note: an additional registration will be required for venue access and will be requested from registered attendees See you on the 5th! 🎉 Agenda --- Hosted By Davide Tresoldi, Organizer Matteo Rocco, Analyst Hi Complete your event RSVP here: https://gdg.community.dev/events/details/google-gdg-cloud-milano-presents-the-reasoning-layer-architecting-multi-agent-support-systems-with-google-cloud/.

Der König ist tot, es lebe der König. So könnte man das neue Projekt der **Green Software Foundation** umschreiben. Nach Jahren der Entwicklung bei *Amadeus* (führender Anbieter von IT-Lösungen für die Tourismusbranche) wurde das Projekt in Teilen open sourced und der GSF übergeben. Ziel von **Carmen** (Carbon Measurement Engine) ist es alle Emissionen über eine Vielzahl von Anwendungen zu erfassen. Somit tritt es faktisch die Nachfolge von „*Cloud Carbon Footprint*“ an und nutzt auch dessen Kennzahlen. Im Kern setzt Carmen auf das Impact Framework auf und bringt es in die reale Anwendung. Zu Gast haben wir **Florent Morel**, der Kopf hinter Carmen. Er wird uns mit einem Deep Dive in das Tooling einführen und zeigt uns, wie wir Carmen konkret einsetzen können.

For our May meetup, we are diving deep into two very different but equally essential worlds: the art of **trashware** (giving old hardware a second life) and the high-stakes decision of choosing between **Python and Rust**. We’ll be hosted by the wonderful folks at **Buildo**. Come for the knowledge, stay for the networking! 📍 **Location and time** * **Where:** Buildo, Via Malaga 4, Milano * **When:** Wednesday, May 6th, 2026 * **Time:** 18:30 (Starts at 19:00 sharp) 🎙️ **Talk 1: How I learned to stop worrying and love (the bomb) trashware** **Speaker:** Andrea Perotti Your 101 practical course on consumer hardware and approaches you can adopt to reduce your carbon footprint. Learn the *if*, the *what*, and the *how* to start doing trashware and having fun while doing it. **BIO** **Andrea Perotti** is a Linux veteran and Senior Engineering Partner Manager at **Red Hat**, where he champions Open Source integration. Beyond the enterprise world, he is an active member of **PCOfficina**, dedicated to hardware refurbishment and community education.

Domenica 10 maggio alle ore 17.00, la **rassegna gratuita** “Concerti in cortile” prosegue con Zariel e il concerto “Le strade di polvere”, in programma presso Slow Mill, in Via Volturno 32 a Milano. **IL GRUPPO** Nato nel 2017, Zariel “Le strade di polvere” è un progetto musicale concepito come uno spazio di incontro tra musicisti, linguaggi e tradizioni sonore differenti. Il lavoro prende avvio dal Mediterraneo e si sviluppa come un viaggio attraverso repertori, culture e memorie che dialogano tra loro, offrendo una reinterpretazione personale del folklore di diverse aree geografiche. Il progetto attraversa storie di popoli che hanno abitato, attraversato e trasformato il Mediterraneo, dalle culture sefardite a quelle balcaniche e mediorientali, mettendo al centro la ricchezza della mescolanza come fonte di creatività e crescita umana. Un elemento centrale del concerto è la voce femminile, filo rosso che unisce i brani e richiama la funzione della trasmissione orale, della memoria e della resistenza culturale. Con un organico composto da voce, chitarra, contrabbasso e batteria, “Le strade di polvere” costruisce un percorso musicale e narrativo che intreccia melodie antiche e sensibilità contemporanee, con influenze che spaziano dal jazz al rock fino alla world music. La presenza di Zariel all’interno della rassegna interpreta pienamente lo spirito di “Concerti in cortile”: promuovere iniziative che uniscono le persone, valorizzano gli spazi condivisi del quartiere e creano occasioni di ascolto, incontro e partecipazione attraverso la cultura. L’iniziativa si inserisce all’interno del progetto Oltre la scuola, realizzato da DeP e finanziato da MMCasa. Slow Mill è gestito dall’Associazione Dora e Pajtimit APS. Il tesseramento annuale all’Associazione (€5, drink incluso) è obbligatorio per i maggiorenni. Per tesserarsi qui: **[bit.ly/sociodep](http://bit.ly/sociodep)** **Slow Mill è gestito dall’Associazione “Dora e Pajtimit” Aps.

**You’ve been living in Italy for months… maybe even years…** **but you still don’t really *live* in Italian.** You understand. You try. But when it’s time to speak, something holds you back. Not enough practice. Too much pressure. Or simply… no space that feels safe enough. I know this, because I’ve lived it. Learning the local language is what finally made me feel at home. That’s why I created this. **Welcome to The Village — a space to *experience* Italian, not just learn it.** This is for you if: – you want to actually speak, not just listen – you’re willing to make mistakes and grow from them – you value connection, presence and a positive group energy – you’re ready to step out of your comfort zone (gently, but consistently) This is **not** a traditional class. And it’s not for passive learners. In The Village, we: – practice real-life conversations – use role play, games and embodied exercises – support each other (no judgment, no pressure) – build confidence session after session The goal is simple: to help you feel more at home in Italy — in your body, and in your voice. I guide the space to make sure everyone speaks, feels included, and grows. **Small group. Real connection. Consistent practice.** If this resonates, contact me and I will share all details to attend: Francesca: +44 7551910793 Payment: 5x 2 hrs sessions: 50 euros, drop in sesson 12 euros

You are warmly invited to a 90-minute breathwork activation experience in one of Milano’s most refined and intentional settings…an event designed not for performance but for presence. This is a somatic journey guided through conscious active breathing.. where the body leads and the mind gently follows. A space where nothing is required of you and yet everything within you is welcome. This is not about doing more, fixing or figuring things out. It is about allowing and allowing the nervous system to soften…allowing emotions to surface without force… allowing the body to release what it has been holding.. quietly or loudly…for longer than you may realize. Whether you arrive feeling grounded or overwhelmed, clear or confused, open or guarded… you are met exactly where you are. Through active guided breathwork and a trauma-informed approach, you will be supported in reconnecting with your inner landscape.. beyond words and beyond stories. A return to sensation.. to truth.. to what is alive within you now. For some, this may feel expansive and liberating. For others, it may feel subtle, grounding or deeply regulating. There is no right way to experience this… This is a space of safety, depth, and quiet transformation. A space where release is not forced but invited. Where awareness unfolds naturally. Where the body remembers what it means to feel without needing to explain. You don’t need prior experience. You don’t need to prepare anything beyond your willingness to show up as you are.

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!

Connected Westerville Night of Networking flips the script on networking, with surprises and connections that'll make you say, "Who knew networking could be this much fun?!"

Join us for a practical, beginner-friendly guide to choosing the right large language model. We’ll compare major models like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Llama, talk about when to use hosted APIs versus local models, and break down the tradeoffs around cost, speed, quality, privacy, context windows, coding ability, and reliability. You’ll leave with a clearer mental model for picking an LLM based on your actual use case instead of hype, benchmarks, or brand names. No deep AI background required. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

Practical AI for Power BI Developers A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective. This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly. Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.
