Test Driven Development

Costruire sistemi moderni non significa solo scegliere le tecnologie giuste, ma avere il coraggio di ripensare architetture, processi e persino il nostro modo di lavorare. In questo quinto meetup dell’AWS Well-Architected User Group Italy esploreremo **due storie** molto diverse, ma unite da un filo comune: la **trasformazione**. Da un lato, l’evoluzione di un sistema complesso e maturo verso un’**architettura event-driven** capace di alimentare un social feed in tempo reale; dall’altro, sei mesi di sviluppo immersivo che raccontano come nuove **tecnologie possano cambiare** non solo il codice, ma anche **le persone** che lo scrivono. Al termine dei talk, **networking e aperitivo 🍕 offerto dallo User Group.** **TheFork Feed: costruire un social engine** Giovanni Laganà \- Fullstack Software Engineer II @ TheFork \| Author @ thelinkedinengineer\.com Ogni social network possiede un Feed, ma implementarne uno ‘from scratch’ su un’architettura matura con 20 anni di storico dati è una sfida ingegneristica complessa. Come si aggregano efficientemente attività distribuite su domini di business separati, gestendo al contempo il flusso di dati in tempo reale? In questo talk, Giovanni Laganà — Software Engineer in TheFork — analizzerà le decisioni architetturali critiche dietro il ‘TheFork Feed’ lanciato a luglio 2025. Esploreremo il passaggio da logiche sincrone a pattern Event-Driven e le strategie adottate per garantire performance e coerenza in un ecosistema a microservizi. **Sei mesi di sviluppo immersivo con Kiro : Coraggio, tecnologia e umanità** Massimo De Giorgio - Innovation Analyst @ Tabata Massimo De Giorgio e il suo team vivono da sei mesi un’esperienza completamente immersiva nello sviluppo con Kiro. In questo speech, Massimo condividerà il proprio percorso attraverso le diverse prospettive di imprenditore, project manager e sviluppatore, offrendo una visione concreta e multidimensionale dell’adozione di questa tecnologia. Sarà un’occasione per raccontare non solo i risultati nei processi di coding, ma anche la passione, le emozioni e i timori che accompagnano quello che Werner Vogels definisce un nuovo “Rinascimento”: una trasformazione tecnologica e umana che interpella chi ha avuto il coraggio di intraprendere un profondo cambiamento professionale e personale. **📍 Location** **TheFork – Palazzo dell’Informazione** Piazza Cavour, 5° piano – **Milano** **Da ricordare:** * 🎫 Porta la tua cartolina raccogli punti per il timbro! (Se non ce l'hai ancora, te ne diamo una nuova) * ✅ Registrazione obbligatoria (posti limitati) Ci vediamo in TheFork! 👋

**Are you ready for the Milano–Cortina Winter Olympics? We’re not.** **That’s why we’ve created our very own Ostello Bello "Olympic" Games: a glorious display of questionable athletic skills and high-level nonsense.** While the "other" guys are busy with the official **Milano-Cortina 2026** ceremonies, we’re bringing the real "action" to the streets of Milan. From February 6th, we aren't gathering to break world records; we’re gathering to break the laws of physics. This isn’t about the podium; it’s about the survival of the chillest. Get your "winter" gear ready, because we’re about to prove that being an elite athlete is 10% talent and 90% just showing up for the vibes. **The Incentive:** Every participant gets a **shot**. The "legends" who actually win take home an **Ostello Bello T-shirt or a Drink**. ## The Disciplines: Official "Technical" Standards Every day from **7 PM to 9 PM**, our "athletes" will face a rotating schedule of these elite winter disciplines: ### 1\. Air Hockey: The Wrist\-Flick Battle A high-speed duel where the only thing frozen is your gaze on the puck. * **The Goal:** Smash the plastic disc into the hole. * **Requirement:** Move your hand faster than your brain can process and celebrate every point like you’ve just secured a gold medal. ### 2\. Boxing\-Glove Beer Pong: The Clumsy Champion Challenge We took a classic and made it impossible by adding the "Yeti factor." * **The Twist:** You have to play wearing massive, padded boxing gloves. * **The Challenge:** Gripping a tiny ball with giant hands is the ultimate test of patience. Success here is statistically unlikely and basically a miracle. ### 3\. DIY Curling: The Professional Slide The most serious-looking sport in our program. We’ve replaced expensive stones with pots and ice with felt pads, but the tension is real. * **The Setup:** A "House" (target) taped on the floor and a "Hog Line" for the release. * **The Action:** Launch the pot while your teammates run alongside it with brooms, screaming *"Hurry! Hard!"* just like in the real tournaments. * **The Score:** Closest pot to the center wins. Clean floors are a bonus. ### BONUS DAY: The "Wildcard" Game The discipline is a mystery. Our local legends will choose the challenge. Expect the unexpected: and probably more shots. **AND REPEAT.**

Costruire una data platform in contesti enterprise è spesso una battaglia quotidiana. Dati duplicati, pipeline fragili e trasformazioni poco tracciabili. Processi di sviluppo sul dato difficili da testare, versionare e rilasciare in sicurezza. Cataloghi presenti ma scollegati dai flussi reali, governance dichiarata ma non operativa. Piattaforme che crescono nel tempo, aumentando complessità e perdita di controllo. Il paradigma Data Lakehouse open source promette ordine, scalabilità e flessibilità — ma come si traduce davvero in produzione, quando entrano in gioco: \- requisiti enterprise \- qualità del dato \- testing \- CI/CD \- governance reale \- responsabilità e ownership? 👉 Questo meetup nasce per rispondere a questa domanda, partendo da un caso d’uso reale, sviluppato e messo in produzione. **Agenda** * 18:30 – 18:45 **Benvenuto e Networking** * 18:45 – 19: 40 **Lakehouse Open Source in produzione: architettura, governance e developer experience in un caso reale** * 19:40 – 20:00 **Community Slot** (Proponi il tuo talk) * 20:00 – 20:30 **Q&A e Saluti** Registrati subito al meetup per ricevere tutti gli aggiornamenti sull'agenda. **Lakehouse Open Source in produzione: architettura, governance e developer experience in un caso reale** Il paradigma del data lakehouse open source rappresenta oggi una scelta strategica anche in contesti enterprise complessi. In questo meetup presenteremo uno use case reale, mostrando come sia possibile costruire una data platform moderna basata su tecnologie open source. Il talk si concentrerà sull’adozione di pratiche data-driven e developer-oriented, evidenziando il ruolo di **dbt** nel garantire replicabilità, qualità del dato, testing e integrazione con pipeline CI/CD. A completare il quadro, affronteremo i temi di data governance e data discovery attraverso **DataHub** e **OpenMetadata**, illustrando come un data catalog centralizzato abiliti tracciabilità, ownership e governance nel dato. Un percorso pratico per portare i data lakehouse open source verso una vera data platform moderna che possa rispondere a esigenze enterprise reali. **Lorenzo Pasco - Data Engineer @Seacom Società Benefit:** Laureato in Artificial Intelligence and Data Engineering a Pisa, fin da giovane, ho alimentato la mia passione per l’informatica e i videogiochi, unendo la tecnologia alla mia vita quotidiana. Al di là del digitale, il mio cuore batte per lo sport, in particolare il calcio, e sperimento la creatività in cucina. **Se stai cercando di capire come rendere i Data Lakehouse davvero “enterprise-ready”, questo meetup è l’occasione per confrontarti su un’esperienza reale, fatta di architettura, codice, governance e persone.** Come sempre, ci sarà ampio spazio per il confronto, le domande e le discussioni aperte

**Unisciti a noi per dedicare una giornata a imparare e sperimentare con Zig!** Zig è un linguaggio di programmazione con una community in crescita. Ha una sintassi snella, performance incredibili ed è estremamente versatile. Se non lo conosci, questo evento è l’occasione ideale per iniziare a impararlo! Se invece già conosci Zig, potrai condividere il tuo progetto con altri e avrai la possibilità di aiutare altri programmatori a capire perché e come usare Zig. Non ci sono vincoli particolari per questa giornata: l’unico obiettivo è creare qualcosa di magico con Zig. **Agenda** 09:00 – 09:30 Accoglienza, introduzione informale e setup progetti 09:30 – 12:45 Sessioni Hands-On 12:45 – 14:15 Pausa pranzo 14:15 – 17:30 Sessioni Hands-On 17:30 - 18:00 Show & Tell **Attività extra** **Colazione @ Napoli Bakery** Il corpo principale dello Zig Day inizia alle 9:00. Per chi può e vuole arrivare a Seregno al massimo per le 8:10 (maggiori dettagli nella sezione "Come arrivare a Seregno"), potete unirvi a me da Napoli Bakery ([https://maps.app.goo.gl/PwLuW3pXqPhUa9xK7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/PwLuW3pXqPhUa9xK7)). I miei consigli: * Coda d'aragosta (crema chantilly) * Zeppola di San Giuseppe (crema pasticcera) * Cornetto ischitano (ripieno a piacere) Dopo colazione, raggiungeremo a piedi il luogo dell'evento. **Pranzo @ Pane e Olio + Gelato @ Albero dei Gelati** Seregno offre diverse alternative, ma il gruppo principale pranzerà da Pane e Olio ([https://maps.app.goo.gl/oWBU5XRsHffcBrb8A](https://maps.app.goo.gl/oWBU5XRsHffcBrb8A)). Dopo pranzo, se il tempo è bello e ne abbiamo voglia, possiamo fare due passi fino all'Albero dei Gelati ([https://maps.app.goo.gl/QmpGpzv34bp7joEv8](https://maps.app.goo.gl/QmpGpzv34bp7joEv8)) per un gelato, e poi tornare indietro. **Cena e oltre** Non ho ancora scelto un ristorante specifico, ma ovviamente possiamo cenare insieme. Dopo cena possiamo fare un salto all'Old Station Pub ([https://maps.app.goo.gl/Fdrb7kU5B8tfXTBP9](https://maps.app.goo.gl/Fdrb7kU5B8tfXTBP9)) per un paio di birre. Un vantaggio dell'Old Station Pub è che si trova proprio accanto alla stazione ferroviaria: se avete intenzione di tornare in treno, potete restare fino alle 23:00 circa. Lo stesso vale per i parcheggi (vedi sezione successiva), entrambi i luoghi consigliati sono lì accanto. E se volete prendervela comoda e dormire a Seregno, anche il Biffi Hotel ([https://maps.app.goo.gl/vWeidrxkiKP342gSA](https://maps.app.goo.gl/vWeidrxkiKP342gSA)) si trova proprio vicino al pub. **Come arrivare a Seregno** Parcheggi consigliati: * [https://maps.app.goo.gl/ppiKJ4pvR2LJkoGH8](https://maps.app.goo.gl/ppiKJ4pvR2LJkoGH8) (gratuito, all'aperto) * [https://maps.app.goo.gl/zFaSis5cU7PEMxgC6](https://maps.app.goo.gl/zFaSis5cU7PEMxgC6) (a pagamento, al coperto) ***Treni*** Se venite da Milano: * RegioExpress da Milano Centrale (consigliato, ogni ora al minuto :43, durata 25 min) * S11 da Porta Garibaldi (ogni ora ai minuti :08 e :38, durata 35 min) * S9 da Lambrate (ogni ora ai minuti :26 e :56, durata 35 min) Seregno si trova nella zona tariffaria Mi6 (Ring 6), quindi avrete bisogno di un biglietto che copra le zone 1-6. Se prendete il RE delle 7:43 da Centrale, sarete a Seregno perfettamente in tempo per la colazione da Napoli Bakery :^) Se avete domande sulla logistica, non esitate a contattarmi (@kristoff) sul gruppo Telegram Zig Italia ([https://t.me/ziglang_it](https://t.me/ziglang_it)) o via email (loris@zig.day).

Please keep your RSVP updated to allow others to participate if you can no longer attend. *** ## 🕒 Agenda * **18:30:** 🚪 Doors open & Check-in * **19:00:** 🎤 **Talk 1:** Open Source & Sovereign Architecture – Riccardo Lorenzon * **19:45:** 🎤 **Talk 2:** Klarna’s Foundation Model – Valeria Verzi, Sudhakar Periyasamy, Goran Dizdarevic * **20:30:** 🍕 **Networking & Aperitivo** offered by Iliad! *** ## 🎤 The Talks ## 1️⃣An Open Source and Sovereign Architecture for Data, ML and AI **Speaker:** Riccardo Lorenzon (Head of Data @ iliad Italia) Iliad Group invests billions in sovereign AI ecosystems, open-source tech, and low-carbon data centers to reduce reliance on non-European providers and bolster Europe's technological autonomy. True to Iliad Group's 'make-over-buy' culture of full control, iliad Italia is building a data architecture in a hybrid on-prem and Scaleway (Iliad Group cloud) setup, combining open-source tech and managed services. This powers data management, self-service analytics, and ML/AI use cases for our 12m+ user base and 1000+ employees. During this speech, we will guide you through the tech journeys we have built and are building. **About the Speaker:** Riccardo Lorenzon serves as Head of Data at iliad Italia, where he works on evolving the data function into a modern setup covering the full data value chain from sources to business decisions. He previously led data teams at Vedrai, an AI startup, and Whirlpool EMEA, handling projects in analytics, machine learning, and cloud platforms across areas like consumer service, supply chain, and sales. With a Master’s in Mathematical Engineering from Politecnico di Milano and studies at ETH Zürich, he combines a hands-on approach to delivery with a strong focus on strategic value for the business. *** ## 2️⃣ Building the Klarna Foundation Model: A Unified Transformer for Customer Behavior Modeling at Scale **Speaker:** Valeria Verzi (Principal Data Scientist @ Klarna), Sudhakar Periyasamy, Goran Dizdarevic In this session, we introduce Klarna’s Foundation Model (KFM): a lightweight Transformer trained on more than 130 million customer events to learn a unified representation of customer behavior. Rather than building separate, task-specific models, KFM operates as a common sequence-modeling backbone that encodes behavioral patterns across different touchpoints of a customer’s interaction history with Klarna. We will walk through the technical design of the system, including event tokenization, sequence construction, and Transformer architecture, as well as how the learned embeddings are exposed as a shared layer for multiple downstream use cases. Attendees will gain a concrete understanding of how foundation models can be applied to behavioral sequence data in fintech, and how a single model can serve as a reusable, extensible representation layer across heterogeneous modeling tasks. **About the Speaker:** Valeria Verzi is a Principal AI Scientist at Klarna, where she leads the development of next-generation models, from foundation models to advanced deep learning or agentic systems. She has nearly a decade of experience applying machine learning to high-stakes decisioning across fintech and insurance. Before her current role, Valeria served as Klarna’s Head of Data Science for Fraud Prevention. Prior to Klarna, she held senior data science roles at Generali and NTT Data. Valeria holds a Master’s degree in Computer Science Engineering from Politecnico di Milano. *** See you there! 🚀 *The PyData Milano Team*

In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects. **YouTube Link** TBA
