**AI Sec Eng Spain anteriormente DevSecCon España** en colaboración con **Madrid DevOps** y **HackerDreams %27** **📅26 de marzo, 2026** **🕖6pm CEST** **Agenda:** **Lugar**: Utopicus Paseo de la Habana **Dirección**: [P.º de La Habana, 9, 11, Chamartín, 28036 Madrid](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m2!3m1!1s0xd422931c8969f65:0x75d2a090890a4be2?sa=X&ved=1t:8290&ictx=111) **Ponencia** **Título:** DB upgrade with terraform on AWS **Ponente:** *Antonio Peña.* **Mini-biografía:** Senior Cloud Engineer, AWS Solutions Architect y CKA, con una amplia trayectoria en Linux, Open Source, Kubernetes y plataformas cloud. Especializado en DevOps, CI/CD, GitOps y automatización de infraestructura sobre AWS, Azure y GCP. Como organizador de MadridDevOps, impulsa la comunidad compartiendo experiencias reales sobre cultura DevOps, cloud engineering y modernización de plataformas. **Descripción de la charla:** En esta charla veremos cómo gestionar un proceso de **upgrade de base de datos en AWS usando Terraform**, de forma controlada, repetible y alineada con buenas prácticas de infraestructura como código. Hablaremos de cómo preparar el entorno, planificar cambios de versión, minimizar riesgos, y automatizar la infraestructura alrededor de la base de datos para que las actualizaciones sean más seguras y predecibles. También repasaremos retos habituales como la compatibilidad entre versiones, backups, snapshots, ventanas de mantenimiento, rollback y coordinación con aplicaciones dependientes. Una sesión práctica para entender cómo Terraform puede ayudar no solo a crear infraestructura, sino también a mantenerla y evolucionarla en entornos cloud productivos. *** Si aún no te has unido a la comunidad de Discord, ¡por favor, hazlo!

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA

WQC has weekly Thursday night social nights at the Westerville Java Central. Come and grab a coffee and connect with the community: low stakes, chill environment, and tasty drinks. No registration is required; come as you are.

Builders, creators, architects, admins, consultants - come one, come all. This one's for you. We're bringing a little friendly competition to the Columbus ServiceNow community while highlighting the cool things people have built on the platform. Five presenters will take the stage to showcase something they've built, solved, designed, or imagined on the ServiceNow platform - and a panel of judges (plus YOU, our amazing audience) will score them live. So basically, America's Got Talent but make it ServiceNow's Got Talent. Bring a notepad if you'd like 'cause you'll definitely be learning something new. Each presenter gets 10 minutes max to wow the crowd with: • A demo • A real-world business solution • A bold idea • A UX transformation • Or a creative use of the platform Judging Criteria: 🏆 Business Value 🚀 Innovation ✨ User Experience This event is about celebrating ideas, sharing knowledge, and showing how ServiceNow can drive both business impact and meaningful user value. Come learn. Come support. Come get inspired. Refreshments and bites will be provided. And maybe next time… you’ll be on stage.

**First meetup of the Columbus AI Engineering group.** We’ll kick things off with a practical, beginner-friendly discussion on: **How LLMs like ChatGPT actually work — and how to build real applications with them.** We’ll cover: * what’s actually happening under the hood (at a high level) * why LLMs behave the way they do (hallucinations, prompt sensitivity, etc.) * how people are building real systems with them today * where things break in practice This will be a **short, informal talk (\~15–20 min)** followed by open discussion and Q&A. Whether you’re an engineer, builder, or just curious about how modern AI systems work, you’re welcome to join. No slides, no fluff — just real conversation about real systems. We’ll hang out afterward and get to know each other.

**Connected Westerville Night of Networking** *April Edition: The Introduction Economy* You've been to the networking events. You've done the small talk. Collected the cards. Forgotten the names. And walked out feeling like you just wasted two hours of your life. The problem isn't you. It's the format. Most networking events put you in a room and tell you to figure it out. So everyone defaults to elevator pitches and business talk, and nothing real gets built. Here's the truth about networking that most people miss: Your network isn't just who you know. It's who thinks of you when they're talking to someone else. *That's* The Introduction Economy. And it only works when relationships are real. There's a reason people who come once keep coming back. It starts with seven minutes that feel nothing like networking. Then we open it up. Free networking. More conversations. More momentum. This is a room full of corporate professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, creatives, and career builders in the Westerville and Columbus area. The mix is the magic. You might never do business with everyone you meet tonight. But someone in this room will think of *you.* **By name**. So, the next time someone needs exactly what you do, you get the recommendation. **April 14th. RSVP now.** **When:** Tuesday\, April 14th \| 6:15 PM \-\- 8:00 PM **Where:** Vineyard Community Center \| 6000 Cooper Rd\, Westerville\, OH 43081
