About us
Welcome to the Twin Cities Tech Meetup!
We're a group of IT professionals and tech enthusiasts who get together every other month
to talk about the stuff that actually matters in tech — real conversations, hands-on learning,
and good company.
What to expect:
- Tech talks, workshops, and open discussions covering AI, automation, security, and
more. - A different topic every time — no two meetups are the same.
- Meet people who work in or around tech in the Twin Cities.
- Free food.
- The occasional video game session.

Process Isolation AKA Containers in Go with Michael Duren
Nagios, 1295 Bandana Blvd N, Suite 310, St. Paul, MN, USFree Event | August 25 | 2 - 3 p.m. CT.
Every time you run a container on Kubernetes, ECS, or your laptop,
something has to create it. But what actually happens between
"docker run" and your process running in isolation?In this talk, you'll learn how to build a minimal container runtime in Go
using the same Linux primitives that power Docker and containerd:
namespaces for isolation, cgroups for resource limits, and chroot for
filesystem separation.Then the floor opens for a Q&A discussion! Bring your questions, your
thoughts, or share how you've been using Go or another open-source
solution.About the Speaker: Michael Duren
Michael is a Site Reliability Engineer at Target and has years of experience
in the software engineering field. Michael is involved in various tech
meetups throughout the area and most recently spoke at the GoMN
