Agentic DevOps – MeetUp März ´26
Welcome to the very first meetup of our new community!
As we mentioned in our group description, the way we build and deliver software is evolving rapidly. We are kicking things off by bringing together Berlin’s engineers, architects, and tech leaders to discuss the shift from standard automation to **Agentic AI** and **intelligent cloud workflows.** For this premiere event, we are currently finalizing a lineup of two deep-dive talks that will explore practical use cases in this emerging field. We will update this page with the specific speaker details and talk titles very soon—stay tuned!
**What to expect:**
* **Insightful Talks:** Real-world perspectives on where software delivery is heading (Speaker below)
* **No Fluff:** We’re here to move beyond the buzzwords and discuss what actually works.
* **Great Company:** Plenty of time to grab a cold drink, enjoy some snacks, and connect with peers who are facing the same challenges and opportunities in the cloud-native space.
**Speaker:** Milan Wiezorek – Head of Customer Engineering, Google Cloud ([https://www.linkedin.com/in/milanwiezorek/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/milanwiezorek/ "https://www.linkedin.com/in/milanwiezorek/"))
**Talk:** "Operating Agentic Eco-Systems at Scale"
Milan helps government and healthcare institutions harness secure, resilient AI to solve society's biggest challenges. He previously led AI industrialization for the German automotive industry – spearheading the Gemini-powered Mercedes-Benz 2026 CLA launch, scaling workflow automation for Bosch, and accelerating R&D for Volkswagen through AI surrogate modeling.
**Speaker:** Ahmed Diab – Consultant Cloud Engineering
(https://www.linkedin.com/in/ahmed-diab-ac/)
**Talk:** "Pioneering the Future of Agentic DevOps: Why Mindset Matters More Than Tools"
Ahmed is a DevOps and cloud engineer working with modern automation and AI-assisted tooling in production environments. He focuses on how agentic systems are applied in practice, where they help, and where careful choices are needed when adopting new tools in DevOps workflows.
Whether you are already experimenting with AI agents in your pipeline or just want to understand what the hype is about, you’ll feel right at home.

**Sichere Dir Deinen Platz mit [einem Ticket (Eventbrite).](https://www.eventbrite.de/e/nur-fur-frauen-neue-freundinnen-in-berlin-workshop-tickets-1982769849996)**

\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
**Menschen mit guten Freunden leben länger, glücklicher und gesünder. Außerdem machen gute Freundinnen einfach Spaß.**
.
Deshalb biete ich Freundschaftsworkshop an.
.
Manche sagen: "Es ist schwierig, in Berlin gute Freundinnen zu finden." Berlin, die Stadt der 1000 Möglichkeiten ... ich kenne das auch.
.
\*\* Dann machen wir einen Workshop!\*\*
1. Maximal 40 Frauen.
2. Eine leichte Moderation führt durch den Abend
3. Ihr lernt Euch kennen und habt Spaß.
4. Wer mag, trifft sich wieder.
.
Du wirst überrascht sein, wie vertraut Du mit vielen nach 3 Stunden sein wirst - so, als ob Ihr Euch schon lange kennt.
.
\*\* 4 Jahre Arbeit - 1 Workshop\*\*
Vier Jahre habe ich geforscht und ausprobiert, wie Menschen Freunde werden & was die Magie der Freundschaft ausmacht. Das Ergebnis ist dieser Abend.
.
Praxisnahe, schnell umsetzbare Tipps, die Du schnell in den Alltag umsetzen kannst. Kleine Happen zur Theorie. - Und vor allem: Kennenlernen & Spaß haben. Wir probieren einfach miteinander aus.
.
Eine Teilnehmerin sagte mal zu mir:
* "Georg, das ist so eine angenehme Atmosphäre. Danke, dass Du das machst."
.
Was soll ich sagen? Stimmt. Das ist mein Anliegen .
.
.
\*\* Diese Methoden kannst Du in Deinen Alltag mitnehmen.\*\*
Ab sofort kannst Du Menschen besser und persönlicher kennenlernen – und damit tiefe Verbindungen und bessere Freundschaften aufbauen.
.
.
**⏰ Die Türen sind offen ab 18:45 Uhr.**
* Deinen Mantel aufhängen, WC, eine Runde schwatzen und los geht's...
.
**❓ Darf ich wiederkommen?**
Es gibt nur wenige Veranstaltungen, bei denen man wirklich miteinander ins Gespräch kommt. Hier schon, mit Tiefgang.
.
Einige kommen immer wieder, um die Details des gut gestrickten Programms zu ergründen - und immer wieder neue Menschen kennenzulernen oder auf bekannte Gesichter zu treffen.
.
Bis es endlich Klick macht und die richtigen Freundinnen gefunden sind.
.
.
\*\* Was bringst Du mit?\*\*
* Etwas zu trinken (z.B. deine Wasserflasche, keinen Alkohol!)
* Du solltest satt sein und vorher gegessen haben
* Bargeld für den Eintritt (10-20 Euro) [oder[ Ticket von Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.de/e/nur-fur-frauen-neue-freundinnen-in-berlin-workshop-tickets-1982769849996)]
.
\*\* Der Veranstaltungsraum\*\*
* Wir haben einen wunderschönen Raum im Prenzlberg - im Life Artist Hub
* Gut mit Öffis zu erreichen: Schönhauser Allee (Ringbahn, U2, M1), Eberswalder Straße (U2, M10, M12)
* Vor Ort ist alles ausgeschildert.
.
**Vorsichtshalber hier die Wegbeschreibung:**
* Du gehst in den Hof bis nach hinten durch. Dort ist eine Tür.
* Du klingest bei "Life Artist Hub". Die Tür sollte sofort summen. Öffne die Tür.
* Du gehst in den 3. Stock. Da sind wir.
.
**♂️ Warum moderierst Du als Mann diesen Workshop?**
.
Hi, ich bin Georg. Ich weiß, ich bin ein Mann. Warum moderiere ich dann diesen Workshop?
.
Abenteuer Freundschaft ist mein Beruf. Am Anfang war ich auf Männer-Freundschaften spezialisiert. Überraschenderweise waren 60 Prozent der Newsletter-Empfängerinnen Frauen. Frauen scheinen die Wichtigkeit guter Freundschaften viel mehr zu spüren.
.
Deshalb habe ich letztes Jahr angefangen, Workshops für Frauen anzubieten. Soziale Träger, das Rathaus Schöneberg und das Frauenzentrum Begine haben mich bereits für Freundinnen-Workshops gebucht. Im Frauenzentrum moderiert eine Bekannte die Workshops.... denn da darf ich noch nicht mal rein :).
.
Unseren Workshop werde ich zurückhaltend moderieren. Ich weiß mit der Situation umzugehen. Das ist Euer Raum.
.
Für die Männer gibt es alle zwei Wochen am Dienstag einen Männer-Workshop, der regelmäßig gut besucht ist.
.

.
"Ich bin ein bunter Hund und habe viele Bekannte. Aber eine Bekanntschaft zur Freundschaft machen - das hast Du mir gezeigt."
.
"Ich war nervös, ob ich wirklich kommen soll. Was sind da für Leute? Mit wem verstehe ich mich? Nach einer Stunde war mir klar: Gute Freundinnen sind gleich. Ich muss mich nicht mit jedem verstehen. Und allein für die Methoden hat es sich gelohnt. Dankeschön!"
.
"So schnell im Deep Talk. Interessant!"

Co-Working Session (Deep Work, all types of work welcome)
Hello! I’m organising a coworking + socialising session for all of us who are working on projects (e.g. our own creations, freelance or remote work) but don't feel like sitting alone at home. 🙂
To ensure that we have time for both socialising AND working, we will be using the so-called “Pomodoro” technique:
**50 mins deep work** (silent), followed by **10 mins break** to socialise. And then repeat!
You are welcome to join whatever your personal background is, and whatever project you are working on.
I (the host) speak English and German, so either language is fine.
——————————————————-
AGENDA:
* **Short Intro**
Tell us who you are and share something about what you will be working on today
* **Pomodoro Session** \- 3x \(3h\)
Each Pomodoro session consists of 50 mins focused “deep work” (no talking, no interruptions, **phones on silent mode**)
-> then 10 mins break: a chance to share your progress with others
-> Repeat
* **15 mins Wrap Up**
Celebrate what you achieved and get to know others 😊
————
The location is **Espresso House near Checkpoint Charlie** (they have multiple outlets - so be sure to go to the correct one!)
Wifi + power plugs are available - but best to bring a fully charged laptop, just in case 🙃
You **do not** have to pay anything. But since we are using the café space, it is common courtesy to buy at least one drink (coffee costs roughly **4 Euros**).

#4 social writing club – Kreuzberg · Tempelhof (DE)
**Come together. Write. Support each other.**
• Du schreibst einfach gern – egal ob Buch, Blog, Poesie oder Tagebuch?
• Du vermisst Gespräche über das Schreiben und das, was dabei entsteht?
• Du wünschst dir mehr Zeit zum Schreiben – und Menschen, die ähnlich ticken?
Kreativ sein verbindet — und genau dafür ist dieser *Social Writing Club* da.
Dieser Club ist für Menschen, die gerne schreiben und Lust haben, das nicht immer allein zu tun: gemeinsam Zeit verbringen, schreiben, sich austauschen und ganz nebenbei neue Menschen kennenlernen – in einem entspannten, offenen Rahmen. Ganz gleich, wo du gerade mit dem Schreiben stehst: Du bist willkommen.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Wir treffen uns einmal im Monat in einem Café am Platz der Luftbrücke in Kreuzberg/ Tempelhof.
**Es gibt kein Thema, keinen Input, kein Feedback.**
Jede\*r schreibt für sich, an dem, was gerade da ist – im eigenen Tempo, auf die eigene Art.
Zwischendurch und danach gibt es Raum für Gespräche: über das Schreiben selbst oder einfach über das Leben.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
**So läuft ein Treffen ab**
Wir kommen entspannt an, bestellen etwas und richten uns ein. Der Vormittag besteht aus **einer Schreibeinheit**. Wir schreiben in Stille – nebeneinander, konzentriert, jede\*r für sich. Zum Abschluss gibt es Zeit zum Ankommen miteinander: Kennenlernen, Austauschen, Zuhören.
Alles kann, nichts muss.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
**ℹ️ Hinweise**
* Wir treffen uns in einem Café und sind dort normale Gäste. Also plane bitte ein, dort etwas zu bestellen.
* Die Teilnahme selbst ist kostenlos. Um die monatlichen Meetup-Gebühren zu decken, freue ich mich über einen freiwillige **Spende** **von** **2 € bis 5 €** – vor Ort in **bar** oder per **PayPal**.
* Eine Vorbereitung ist nicht erforderlich. Alles, was du brauchst, ist das, woran du schreiben willst – handschriftlich oder digital.
* Die Treffen finden auf Deutsch statt. 🇩🇪
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
🗓️ **Agenda**
**11:00 – 11:15 Uhr** Ankommen, Begrüßung, Einrichten & etwas bestellen
**11:15 – 12:45 Uhr** Stille Schreibeinheit (konzentriertes Schreiben, jede\*r für sich – gerne Kopfhörer mitbringen, falls es im Café etwas lauter wird)
**12:45 – 13:30 Uhr** Austausch & Ausklang
Sunday Tech Coffee Meetup
Welcome to Sunday Tech Coffee. This is a **networking** event for those in the tech industry in Berlin.
We are usually inside and to the right. Ask the barista/bartender if you can't find us.
Architectural Kata #7: AI-Enabled Architecture
Ready to flex your architectural muscles… with a new twist? Join us for our first **AI-Enabled Architectural Kata**, where we'll tackle a real design challenge together, using generative AI as a collaborator in the architectural process. Small teams will work through a complex scenario, but this time each team gets a unique **AI collaboration role** that shapes how they interact with AI during the session. Expect lively debate, creative solutions, plus an honest reflection on where AI helps and where human judgement still reigns supreme.
**Mark your calendars for Thu, Mar 5,** and join us at **Thoughtworks Event Space** for an engaging evening dedicated to software design and architecture. Whether you're a seasoned architect, an AI-curious developer, or just passionate about software design, this meetup is the perfect platform to share, learn, experiment with new ideas and meet passionate people.
**Event Schedule**
* **18:15** – Doors open for snacks, drinks, and socialization
* **18:45** – Introduction
* **19:00** – **AI-Enabled Architecture Kata**: Small teams' work session
* **20:30** – Presentations by teams
**❓ What is an Architectural Kata?**
Inspired by the concept of “Code Kata,” Architectural Katas are exercises that allow architects to practice their skills in a real-world scenario. It's about honing our craft in software design through practical, hands-on challenges in small groups.
Read more about Architectural Katas on [Neal Ford](https://nealford.com/katas/about.html)'s website or on the [original Katas site](https://www.architecturalkatas.com/) by Ted Neward.
**What makes this one AI-Enabled?**
Building on the classic Architectural Kata format, this edition adds a new dimension: **AI as a team member**. Each team receives a unique role card that defines how they collaborate with AI during the session.
The goal isn't to see who can prompt the best. It's to explore together how AI changes the way we think about, discuss, and communicate software architecture.
**What to bring**
Please have access to at least one AI tool on your phone or laptop (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or similar). We'll provide a short prompting cheat sheet for architectural AI collaboration to get you started. No prior experience with AI for architecture work is needed!

[face to face] Interview Simulation
Join this **Interview Simulation** session — to sharpen the skills for both interviews **and** architectural pitches.
💡 How it works
The event is split into three parts:
1. **Answers for common behavioral questions** \- at the beginning\, I will read some common interview questions\, explain what they mean\, and give the correct answers\.
2. **Interview Simulation (10 minute rounds)** – One participant acts as the interviewee and answers a round of behavioral and design-focused questions. Each other participant gets to ask him one interview question.
3. **Feedback Round** – The group provides feedback on communication, structure, and clarity. Constructive criticism is encouraged.
💡You will be asked:
* **Behavioral questions** (“Tell me about yourself”, “Describe a challenge you faced...”)
* **Technical questions** (based on your tech stack)
* **Light design problems** (high-level reasoning, not code)
No need to prepare anything in advance — just bring curiosity and an open mind.
Feel free to bring your CV if you’d like feedback from others, or share a few words if you’re currently job hunting. If so, we will also brainstorm answers to more common questions that you were asked.
Whether you’re preparing for an interview or simply want to grow as a software designer or architect, this session is for you.

Creative Code Stammtisch [NEW LOCATION @ Prachtsaal]
**⭐ NEW LOCATION! ⭐ PLEASE ARRIVE BEFORE 8PM! ⭐**
The Creative Code Stammtisch is a casual show-and-tell for artists, makers, designers, coders, performers, learners and anyone interested in the use of computing skills for artistic expression.
The event is free and open to all, regardless of age, origin, gender or experience. Beginners and first-timers should feel especially welcome! You don't have to be a coder yourself 😃
HOW TO FIND US?
Find Prachtsaal Studio by crossing the courtyard next to Cafe Augusta on Jonasstr. 22, 12053 Berlin. **NOTE: NEW LOCATION!**
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?
We start with quick introductions, then open the floor to anyone who wants to present something. There are usually around six 10-minute slots available, plus time for questions from the audience. First-timers are encouraged to share their work.
Topics range from net art to computational design and interactive installations all the way to wearable electronics or generative poetry. If you’re wondering whether your own project might fit, take a look at the [Stammtisch archive](https://creativecodeberlin.github.io/Stammtisch/) to see what others have shared in the past.
This event is *not* just for coders! New-media artists and anyone working with technology in their art are very welcome to share. If you enjoy art and/or technology, you’ll likely have a great time, and maybe even learn something new!
BEGINNERS WELCOME!
If you’re new to creative coding, you can find beginner-friendly resources at [creativecode.berlin/learn](https://creativecode.berlin/learn).
THIS IS YOUR SPACE
We do our best to create a welcoming environment for all people regardless of race, ethnicity, color, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, or genetics. People from group generally underrepresented in open-source, art, and technology fields are warmly encouraged to come by. And if you know someone who might enjoy this meetup but isn’t sure it’s for them, let them know they’ll be welcome!

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Google Analytics Alternatives
**Google Analytics Alternatives**
Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday.
Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”.
Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process.
We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer.
