DDDBE Reboot: Domain Prototyping
After some quiet time, DDD Belgium is back.
This meetup marks a fresh start for the community — whether you’re deeply into Domain-Driven Design or just getting started, you’re very welcome to join.
**Agenda**
• 18:00 Food & drinks (sponsored by Cheops)
• 19:30 Introduction by Cheops and host
• 19:45 *DDD: The essentials* — Jochen Szostek
• 20:00 *Domain Prototyping* — Tim Schraepen + Q&A
• 21:00 Future of DDD Belgium?
• 21:15 Drinks & networking
• 22:00 End
We’ll kick off the evening with a short introduction to DDD: the essentials — a 15-minute primer to get everyone on the same page and give newcomers a solid foundation.
The main session of the evening is a hands-on exploration of *Domain Prototyping* by Tim Schraepen.
When exploring a domain, speed and iteration matter more than perfection. Thanks to Kotlin’s expressiveness and low verbosity, it becomes easier to write code that you’re willing to throw away — making it a great fit for rapid prototyping. In this interactive session, we’ll focus on how to quickly iterate on models and code to better understand and align with the business domain. This is not about Kotlin as a language, but about using code as a thinking and learning tool.
Expect an informal, collaborative session with room for discussion and questions.
We’ll wrap up the evening by discussing the future of the DDD Belgium meetup: what formats we prefer, how often to meet, and what kind of sessions we want to organize together.
Whether you're here to learn, share, or just reconnect with the DDD community — we’re looking forward to seeing you there.
Belgium dbt Meetup #14

🏠Venue: BeCentral, Cantersteen 12, 1000 Brussels (same building as the Brussels Central Station)
🤝Organizers: Sam Debruyn
🅿️ Interparking Albertina is at 5min walking distance
🚂 It is literally inside Belgium's best connected train station
To attend, please read the Health and Safety Policy and Terms of Participation: [https://www.getdbt.com/legal/health-and-safety-policy](https://www.getdbt.com/legal/health-and-safety-policy)

📝**Agenda**:
* 18h00: welcome with food & drinks

* 20h00: networking & drinks
🗣️**Presentations:**
**Scaling dbt (core) Infrastructure at Lighthouse**
This session will be about creating standardized dbt components (internal dbt package, reusable CICD template, ...) to scale the use of dbt core across an entire organisation with many repositories.
*by [Marthe Van Den Hende](https://www.linkedin.com/in/marthe-van-den-hende-8535971a2/), Data Platform Engineer at [Lighthouse](https://www.mylighthouse.com/)*
*Marthe is a Data Platform Engineer at Lighthouse with hands-on experience implementing dbt in SaaS companies, focusing on scalability. Before Lighthouse, she worked as a Data Engineer at Markmi.ai.*
**Accelerating Data Engineering with dbt MCP Server**
In this session, I’ll introduce a more experimental approach to data engineering using a dbt MCP server. We’ll explore how this setup enhances developer productivity by enabling smarter workflows, automation, and tighter integration between dbt and external tools.
I’ll share early learnings from real-world usage, including how MCP can streamline model development, improve context awareness, and reduce friction in day-to-day analytics engineering tasks. This session is ideal for those curious about the next evolution of dbt workflows and how emerging tooling can augment traditional SQL-based development.
*by [Vladyslav Ishchenko](https://www.linkedin.com/in/vladyslav-ishchenko01/), Analytics Architect at [Element61](https://www.element61.be/en)*
*Vladyslav holds an MBA from KU Leuven specializing in Business Information Management and brings strong multicultural experience from living in Japan, Vietnam, and South Korea.

Cinema Palace : Everything is temporary
**Cinema Palace : Everything is temporary**
14/05 @ 19h00
En août 2020, la cinéaste Juliette Klinke embarque pour le Myanmar, un pays dont elle ne connaît pratiquement rien, pour rejoindre son compagnon. Alors que le Covid-19 ronge le pays comme le reste du globe, elle trouve refuge auprès de la famille de Zu Zu, une jeune fille de 17 ans qui n’attend que la réouverture des universités pour réaliser son rêve de devenir agente de police et servir sa communauté. Avec des moyens rudimentaires, la réalisatrice capture la naissance de cette amitié improbable avec tendresse et humilité. Alors que la crise sanitaire bat son plein, enfermant la population entre quatre murs, voilà qu’un violent coup d’État orchestré par la junte militaire vient abattre un nouveau fléau. Ce qui se profilait jusqu’alors comme le recueil cinématographique et intime d’une connexion humaine prend alors une toute autre ampleur… Les mots comme les gestes de Zu Zu, immortalisés par le regard affectueux de la cinéaste, sont autant de témoignages des craintes et des espoirs d’une génération lucide et bien décidée à bousculer les certitudes.

Cinematek : Lost in La Mancha
**Cinematek : Lost in La Mancha**
13/05 @ 19h
**This compelling fly-on-the-wall study, hilarious and heartbreaking at once, shows poor Mr Gilliam’s visionary project disintegrating like a slow-motion car crash**
[...]
Their compelling fly-on-the-wall study, hilarious and heartbreaking at once, shows poor Mr Gilliam’s visionary project disintegrating like a slow-motion car crash. The double hernia and slipped disc that zonked his lead actor, Jean Rochefort, the flash floods that swept away his camera equipment, the overhead Nato jets which wrecked his soundtrack, the actors who didn’t show up, and finally, the implacable money-men who declared that the star’s indisposition was not covered by insurance as it was an Act of God. The Act of a furious Old Testament God with a serious grudge against Terry Gilliam. Perhaps He had seen The Adventures of Baron Munchausen and had decided enough was enough.
Anyway: the film’s French producer, René Cleitman, elegantly summarises the situation for a gobsmacked audience of crew and investors: “This shows us the fragility of Jean Rochefort and the fragility of cinema itself.” Nicely put, though this verbal flourish seemed not to impress everyone assembled, who wore the stunned faces of people who were about to not get paid – in a very big way.
Les Blank’s Burden of Dreams has its Fitzcarraldo; Fax Bahr and Eleanor Coppola’s Hearts of Darkness has its Apocalypse Now. But Lost in La Mancha has zilch. It’s the ultimate evolutionary form of the movie-madness documentary genre. A footnote to a text that isn’t there. A documentary about a legendary film that doesn’t exist. A legendary film whose legendariness must reside purely in the documentary, which shows what it can salvage from the dailies, and the on-location footage of producers, directors and crew hollering at each other. It is a pleasingly post-modern twist which Cervantes himself would have enjoyed, having written a book about absurd follies, delusions of grandeur and the deficit between fiction and reality.
And then of course there is Gilliam himself: a Quixotic figure if ever there was one, though shrewdly, Fulton and Pepe don’t labour the point. The director is excruciatingly aware of the parallel, being, as he tells us, 61 years old (though a very handsome and rangy 61) and modestly declaring himself not yet to have accomplished enough in his lifetime. The idea of a Quixote movie had already consumed Orson Welles, but why shouldn’t Gilliam take it on and slay the dragon of ill-omen? No one mentions the Titanic parallel, an idea thought to be jinxed after Lew Grade produced his awful Raise the Titanic in 1980, yet James Cameron had a multi-Oscar triumph with the old boat 17 years later. Unlike Gilliam’s Quixote, however, Titanic had serious Hollywood cash behind it, and no one involved is in the mood to make a zany indie movie about the scary and unfunny near-catastrophes that attended that project.
What is fascinating about Lost in La Mancha is the psychological phenomenon of denial. Everyone, from Terry Gilliam down to the lumpy, monobrowed extras Gilliam has found to play his giants, are in denial about what is happening. Everyone is determinedly looking the other way. Everyone is pretending that the movie will happen. Yet why shouldn’t they? The cast and crew have probably been in precisely this sort of denial for every picture they have ever worked on – and somehow the movies get made, when every tenet of common sense and financial logic declares that they can’t, like the principles of aerodynamics that prove that a bumble-bee can’t fly. Being in denial is a vital part of maintaining morale, momentum and keeping the financing house of cards upright.
