**Hello, fellow DevOps enthusiasts 🤓** On **May 7th**, we'll meet again for a couple of insightful talks, hosted by **[Dynatrace](https://www.dynatrace.com/)**! 📍**Location**: Avda Diagonal 211 \- 14th floor\, Torre Glòries\, Barcelona \| [https://maps.app.goo.gl/22q31ECkaW7BzDMD8](https://maps.app.goo.gl/22q31ECkaW7BzDMD8) \-\-\-\-\-\- 📅 **Agenda** * **18:30 - 18:40** Welcome from the hosts * **18:45 - 19:30** "The microservices kool-aid and what that means for SREs" * **19:30 - 20:15** "Observability in the AI-Native DevOps Age" * **20:15 - 21:00** Networking & Snacks \-\-\-\-\-\- **🎤 Talks & Speakers** * **Title: "The microservices kool-aid and what that means for SREs"** * **Speaker**: [Csaba Almási](https://www.linkedin.com/in/csaba-almasi/) - *Staff Platform Engineer at [Neonomics](https://www.neonomics.io/).* * **Duration**: 30-45 mins * **Abstract**: For years, the industry has treated microservices as the default architecture for any scaling project, but for SREs, this "Kool-Aid" often comes with a bitter aftertaste. This session moves past the hype to examine the true operational tax of service proliferation, specifically focusing on how fragmented architectures drive up observability costs and create silent performance bottlenecks through network overhead and resource contention. We will dive deep into the technical signals that reveal a "distributed monolith"—a system that shares the complexity of microservices but retains the rigid coupling of a legacy app—and provide a rubric for identifying when an architecture has become more of a liability than an asset. Beyond the theory, we’ll explore practical guidelines for determining when to actually decompose a monolith and, perhaps more importantly, when to move in the opposite direction. Using real-world examples from the field, we will walk through the architecture and design decisions behind both successful service extractions and strategic consolidations of over-engineered distributed systems. You’ll walk away with a framework for balancing technical depth with operational sanity, ensuring your architecture evolves based on performance data rather than industry trends. * **About**: Csaba Almási is a Staff Infrastructure Engineer at Neonomics, where he focuses on building reliable platforms and maximizing the business impact of observability. With extensive experience in SRE and distributed systems, he specializes in bridging the gap between technical architecture and operational efficiency in the fintech sector. \-\-\-\-\-\- * **Title: "Observability in the AI-Native DevOps Age"** * **Speaker**: [Andreas (Andi) Grabner](https://www.linkedin.com/in/grabnerandi/) - *CNCF Ambassador, Book Co-Author, and Fellow DevRel at [Dynatrace](https://www.dynatrace.com/)* * **Duration**: 30-45 mins * **Abstract**: *AI is here to stay!* *The question is: How to make it an efficient DevOps partner for the human to build, test and operate software?* The answer is simple: Just like humans, the AI can use observability to understand and optimize the impact of generated and deployed code and configuration. In this talk you learn the path through three important lessons on how observability as you know it is changing to become useful for the Human and the AI as we enter the AI-Native Age. **1.** **The Observability Primer**: “What’s different in observing an app, an AI or a workflow?" **2.** **The AI Delivery Lifecycle**: “How can my AI becomes better with observability?” **3\. Cost and Impact**: “How can we speed up while staying within budget?” You will walk away and know how to best apply open standards like OpenTelemetry and OpenLLMetry to get insights and optimize your own usage of AI. Whether its for coding, automation or to provide it as a business feature! * **About**: Andreas Grabner has 20+ years of experience as a software developer, tester, and architect, and is an advocate for high-performing cloud-scale applications. He is a CNCF ambassador, a contributor to the CNCF project keptn, a Co-Author of Platform Engineering for Architects, and a Fellow DevRel at Dynatrace.

A special edition meetup with a very special guest! International speaker Daniel Afonso will talk about the Framework wars and what he learned from them! Don't miss out! 🚀 ────────── **18:30: Welcome** **18:45 Intro by Host Neciu Dan** **19:00 React-Driven Development: Career Lessons from the Framework Wars** Speaker: Daniel Afonso, Senior Developer Advocate at PagerDuty "No one uses what I built!" "Why can't I get support to do this?" "I don't even know why we're using that?" "Why am I always the one doing everything?" Sound familiar? The truth is, friction is ever-present in our careers — in our influence, processes, relationships, and even the code we ship. But we're rarely taught how to handle it. Here's the fun fact: React's history is full of lessons in dealing with friction. From the early skepticism around JSX and the Virtual DOM to the chaos of Server Components, the React team has navigated many friction points you'll face: skeptical stakeholders, unclear messaging, delayed initiatives, and the challenge of getting buy-in. So let's recap the highlights since its birth to the latest release, understand what React got right (and wrong), and extract practical takeaways you can apply to your career, team, and developer experience initiatives. Whether you're leading a team, building internal tools, or advocating for a technical decision, you'll leave with concrete strategies for driving change, building trust, and shipping initiatives that actually get adopted. **20:00: Drinks and networking!** Do you want to talk at this meetup? Reach out to Dan Neciu [on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/neciudan/) And please help us spread the news and grow the community: **21:15 Meetup finished** **(FOR EARLY ACCESS: WE ALWAYS POST FIRST ON SOCIAL MEDIA)** [Twitter(X)](https://x.com/ReactJsBCN) [BlueSky](https://bsky.app/profile/reactbarcelona.bsky.social) [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/reactjs-barcelona/) [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/reactjs_barcelona/) ────────── **Sponsors:** Perk The intelligent platform for travel and spend.

Two weeks ago Yann LeCun and his team at New Yourk University published a paper http://yann.lecun.com/exdb/publis/pdf/lecun-06.pdf aimed to tackle a fundamental problem of AI -- world model, an obstacle that can keep us at the current level of LLM-s for potentialy centures, or can take us to singularity if it will be solved. To do this LeCun used EBM -- energy base models instead of classical probabilistic densities. We are planning to discuss energy based reasoning from mathematical point of view and also discuss connected technologies and their perspectives. Main article that we will discuss https://openreview.net/pdf?id=ZBj3Qp1bYg This is part of the scientific paper reading club. Presenter: Anier Velasco Sotmayor, teacher at Harbour Space Institute of Technology language of the meeting: English. Entrance donation: 15 eur

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.

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!

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).

**Building a great product is one thing—building momentum behind it is another.** Join **Senior Product Manager Adam Solaiman** and **User Experience Manager Tyson Smith** for a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to turn complex ideas into scalable products inside large organizations. In this session, they’ll share how teams move from ambiguity to execution—navigating organizational complexity, aligning stakeholders, and continuously evolving products after launch. You’ll walk away with insights on how to: * Build and sustain momentum across teams * Adapt to changing priorities without losing direction * Scale products thoughtfully in complex environments Whether you're driving a new initiative or growing an existing product, this conversation will give you practical strategies to keep things moving forward. Come connect, learn, and swap stories with fellow product professionals. \-\-\- Food and drinks will be provided by Switchbox, our generous host. Free parking will be available at the front and back sides of the Switchbox Office.

IMPORTANT!!! THE DATE OF THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CHANGED TO SUNDAY MAY 17, 2026!!! A very unusual choice for his group... Unknown Number: High School Catfish is an American [true crime](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_crime "True crime") documentary film directed by [Skye Borgman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skye_Borgman "Skye Borgman") and released to [streaming](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming_media "Streaming media") on [Netflix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netflix "Netflix") on August 29, 2025. The documentary explores the events and investigation into an unknown person [cyberbully](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberbullying "Cyberbullying") and [harassing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harassment "Harassment") teenagers in [Beal City, Michigan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beal_City,_Michigan "Beal City, Michigan") using an unknown number via insults and sexual claims. It also explores the increasingly great impact of the harassment on the community, the eventual reveal of the culprit, and the trial that followed. IMPORTANT INFO: I strongly suggest not reading anything about it online before seeing it. It's best viewed with no previous knowledge. This documentary contains crude terminology and deals with cyberbullying, which may be a trigger for some folks. Please be ready to discuss the movie by 7PM. Thanks. Unfortunately, it is only available on Netflix. If you would like to attend but do not have Netflix, say so and maybe we can figure something out.
