Extreme Programming

Hello Gophers, Welcome back for another year of Go talks and networking! Would your company like to host our meetup? Let us know! If you'd like to give a talk - submit your proposals here: http://goo.gl/forms/54YvJT223F All talk formats work: short talks (5-10 min) as well as regular length (25 min). If you have more ideas - talk to us at the Gophers slack: https://invite.slack.gobridge.org/ in the #berlin channel, and follow us on twitter: https://twitter.com/gdgberlingo **Speakers**: *Simon Schulte* is a Tech Lead with nearly a decade of experience building scalable backend systems across fast-paced product companies. With a background in business informatics and a passion for Golang, cloud infrastructure, and DevOps, he has spent his career solving complex engineering challenges. He is particularly excited about leveraging AI and LLM workflows to eliminate the tedious, repetitive work that slows developers down — think tech debt, boilerplate, and documentation — so engineers can spend their energy on what actually moves the needle. For Simon, AI isn't about replacing developers; it's about giving them back their time. *Daniel Peralta Madriz* is a backend engineer from Costa Rica with around 6 years of experience working with Golang, although, sadly, he's been spending most of his time lately working with Node.js :(. He is interested in distributed systems, scalability, and developer experience, and is currently experimenting with how to leverage LLMs to safely and autonomously execute repetitive tasks. *Michael Morgen* is a Platform/infra engineer by day, runtime and network optimizations by night. Join in person at: **Talon.One** Talon.One is the incentives engine behind 300 of the world’s most-loved brands, unifying loyalty and promotions on a single flexible platform. Their customers run millions of real-time incentive decisions across markets, channels, and use [cases.As](http://cases.as/) incentives become more strategic than ever, they are continuing to raise the bar for what businesses can build and how fast they can build it Wiener Str. 10, 10999 Berlin https://maps.app.goo.gl/8eMjgWes1E4TBA3c7 or virtually at: https://www.youtube.com/live/qh__TQ1bMF0?is=hw21pk0ZE3HGyaaT *** Agenda 10:49 PM: Networking Networking over drinks and food 7:30 PM: Welcome Welcome words from the organizers 7:35 PM: Talk 1: Go-ing Against the Chaos: Deterministic LLM Workflows / Daniel Peralta Madriz (Backend developer) & Simon Schulte (Techlead of Webhooks and Notifications) @ Talon.One LLMs are powerful, but “it works most of the time” isn’t good enough for production. In this talk, we’ll walk through how to design deterministic workflows around non-deterministic models using Go. From structured iteration loops to validation steps and guardrails, you’ll learn how to move beyond prompting and start engineering reliable LLM-powered systems 8:10 PM: Announcements and break Announcements, HR lost & found, open mic 8:30 PM: Talk 2: About Go Memory Allocator / Michael Morgen, Platform/infra engineer @ Mirantis A short talk about how Go gives memory to your program. We will look at the main allocator parts, why small allocations are usually fast, when Go asks the OS for more memory, and a couple of simple examples where this knowledge helps performance. 9:05 PM: Networking Networking over drinks and food *** Hosted By Natalie Pistunovich, Organizer Ole Bulbuk, Organizer Tim Scheuermann, Organizer Anderson Queiroz, Organizer Complete your event RSVP here: https://gdg.community.dev/events/details/google-gdg-berlin-golang-presents-hybrid-may-golang-meetup-1/.

**Liebe Gophers,** am 13.Mai geht es bei uns um eines der wichtigsten Patterns in verteilten Systemen: das **Transactional Saga Pattern**. Wer mit Microservices arbeitet, kennt das Problem – eine Bestellung aufgeben klingt einfach, aber dahinter stecken Payment Service, Inventory Service, Shipping Service... und jeder hat seine eigene Datenbank. Was passiert, wenn mittendrin etwas schiefläuft? Klassische ACID-Transaktionen funktionieren hier nicht. Sagas schon. Unser Speaker Mark Borukhov zeigt, wie das Saga Pattern funktioniert – mit echtem Go-Code, einem E-Commerce-Beispiel und Live-Demo. **Was euch erwartet:** * Warum verteilte Transaktionen ein echtes Problem sind * Saga Pattern: Konzept, Choreography vs. Orchestration * Implementierung in Go – Schritt für Schritt * Pitfalls, Lessons Learned & Q&A Das Event richtet sich an alle – von Go-Einsteigern bis zu erfahrenen Entwicklern. Auch wer Go nicht kennt, aber Microservices baut oder Patterns liebt, ist herzlich willkommen. **Der Vortrag wird auf Deutsch gehalten.** Wir treffen uns um 18 Uhr bei [lynqtech](https://www.lynq.tech/). Mit dem Vortrag starten wir um 18:30 Uhr. Danach wollen wir über Technologien und Erfahrungen plaudern, voneinander lernen, Kontakte knüpfen und einfach eine tolle Zeit miteinander verbringen. Wir freuen uns auf euch! 🚀 *Mark & Anna*

**​What if your next step isn't another job, *but something of your own*?** In this hands-on workshop, you'll turn your experience into a simple business idea and define a realistic first step to test it. **Gather & Grow - Copenhagen** invites you to an exciting workshop in collaboration with **[Spark Coaching with Val](https://www.linkedin.com/in/valeriakadelski/?utm_source=luma)**! IMPORTANT NOTE: To reserve your ticket for this event, the cost is 100 DKK payable by MobilePay. This must be paid prior to attending.

Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at our Copenhagen Shut Up & Write! sessions. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, résumé, melody, poem, or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. SCHEDULE: - 15 minutes of hellos and getting settled; maybe some quick intros. - Then, the timer starts! : writing for 1 hour. - After the hour is up... chat / take off / keep writing, if you're on a roll. OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens once the hour of writing is complete. Writing can be very solitary... connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. It's best to be on time, but BEING LATE IS ALSO OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check in with us after the session. (We’ll be the ones with the small Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. What Should I Bring? Whatever you need to be able to write! Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the cafe’s overhead music or the occasional conversation by other patrons.

Hey Randoms, Here we go again! The classic 3 day hike through the National Park in Sweden - Söderåsen. We meet in CPH Central station and ride the train together.

There's a supermarket and bakery option on Friday. The plan: Thursday: 20 KM Friday: 31 KM Saturday: 30 KM

“I don’t know what I want.” If that thought sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t need a perfect answer to move forward. In this workshop, we’ll explore what *pulls you*—without the pressure of choosing a “right” path. Through simple exercises, you’ll: • Reflect on moments where you felt engaged or energized • Discover patterns in what you enjoy (and what you don’t) • Create a clear “more of / less of” list for your future By the end, you’ll have a better sense of direction—and a few ideas worth exploring. 🧭 Part of a 6-part series, but open to everyone (even if you missed the first one). Curiosity is enough. You don’t need clarity yet.

Please Note: only registered guests will be allowed to attend our meetings. 🎤 Looking to overcome your fear of public speaking and gain confidence in your leadership abilities?\*\* Look no further than Frederiksberg Toastmasters, a chartered club of Toastmasters International - the leading non-profit organization in public speaking and leadership development. 🌟 Practice your public speaking, communication, and leadership skills in a supportive and inclusive environment, guided by experienced mentors and utilizing the Basecamp curriculum. 🌱 Develop your ability to persuade, gain stakeholder buy-in, and negotiate with ease through regular speeches, evaluations, and leadership opportunities. 🤝 As a member of Frederiksberg Toastmasters, you'll join a community of like-minded individuals working towards the same goal: to become world-class communicators and leaders. 🗓️ We invite you to join us at our weekly meetings, held every Saturday from 11:00 to 13:00.
