​Join us for an evening dedicated to the architecture and engineering of modern data systems with production-ready and open-source solutions. ## ​Agenda: ​***6:35***-7:05 PM **CDC — Till Failover Do Us Part** *By Irina Lager, Senior Database Architect, Altenar* CDC looks like the answer to everything: real-time data, clean integrations, simple architecture. In practice, it’s not that simple. We’ll go through how log-based CDC actually works, when it makes sense, and what can go wrong — including real-world lessons from running it in production. ​***7:20***-8:00 PM **The Race to Zero Latency: Next-Gen Data Streaming** *By Matthew Aquilina, Big Data Architect, Altenar* ​Introducing a paradigm shift: decoupling storage from compute and bringing computation directly to the data stream to solve message queue overload and high compute costs. ​ ***8:10***-8:40 PM **Taking Full Control of the Data Stack: No DBT Cloud, No Lock-In** ​ *By Evgeny Ermakov, Founder iJKos & Partners ltd, ex-Toloka.ai* ​Let's assemble a flexible and fully open-source data stack using dbt OSS with Airflow in production. We’ll cover orchestration, deployment workflows, and experimental LLM-related workflows via MCP.

**Showing Up in the World** *Systemic Constellations for Personal & Professional Growth* A full weekend workshop (Saturday & Sunday) exploring the place where your professional path meets your life story. Many of the challenges we face in our work lives don’t actually begin at work. They emerge from unseen loyalties, inherited patterns, lingering anxieties, and unfinished movements in our personal and family histories. When these forces remain out of view, they quietly shape our choices—and limit how fully we can bring our gifts into the world. Through Systemic and Family Constellation processes, this workshop offers a grounded, experiential space to explore the deeper dynamics influencing your professional journey. Together, we will work with themes of visibility, confidence, purpose, success, and belonging—not by fixing what’s “wrong,” but by restoring order, connection, and natural movement. This weekend supports you in: \- Gently uncovering hidden blocks and underlying anxieties \- Releasing limitations that no longer serve your growth \- Finding your rightful place in your work and in the world \- Standing more fully behind your gifts\, voice\, and contributions When inner and outer paths come back into alignment, showing up in the world becomes simpler—more embodied, more authentic, and more true. About the host: Illi Adato is an innovator in the constellations field, having researched and developed several new techniques for applying Systemic Constellations, including HypnoConstellations™ and Distant Healing Constellations™. These methods offer simple ways to harness resources which are often unseen and support personal strength, resilience and growth. Cost: 175 Euros You can also have the option to join as a representative only. As a representative you can experience a depth of compassion for others you may have never known existed. You can open to a depth and breadth of equanimity which can allow you to experience the most difficult situations and emotions with an open heart and open mind; while avoiding fight, flight or freeze reactions. Representatives can process a lot of their own issues while representing, it is one of the most profound aspects of this work. 'Representative' ticket cost: 99 Euros You can read comments and testimonials about Illi’s work from previous workshop participants here: [https://g.page/LondonConstellations/review](https://g.page/LondonConstellations/review) To secure your spot to either have your own constellation done (175 Euros) or join as a representative (99 Euros), kindly book through this link: [https://rb.gy/8yur5x](https://rb.gy/8yur5x?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHghWfdCWVp5A35Wf43MKAZggaC0jxrHD7UlrRrJmk0bvx-pEbCmwQI77QWnK_aem_wmnfyFzH5zGS3lDJSbmdMA)

Date: Thursday, 7th May from 7pm to 9pm Place: Cafe Teatro, 100 Republic Street, Valletta Join us for another Film Club event where we will be discussing Robert Benton's legal drama "Kramer vs Kramer" starring Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep. It tells the story of a couple's divorce, its effect on their young son, and the subsequent evolution of their relationship and views on parenting. Kramer vs. Kramer explores the psychology and fallout of divorce, and touches on emerging and prevailing social issues such as gender roles, fathers' rights, work-life balance, and single parents. We will not watch a movie but discuss it, so try to watch it before. This event is free, everyone buys his own drink.

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!

**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion **Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?** A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad. My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one. Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it? I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction. Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends. No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.
