The organizers of the AMS DB meetup are also involved in organizing the Databases devroom at FOSDEM. Ignore the timings on this meetup - at this point we don't yet know what day we'll get assigned.

The purpose of the devroom is to discuss developing databases that can meet the demands of modern applications.

Instead of focusing on a single technology or community, our goal is to bring open source database communities and developers together to share their experience, learn from their work, and foster collaboration on challenges ahead.

The CfP (Call for Papers / Presentations) is open until December 3, 2026: https://pretalx.fosdem.org/fosdem-2026/cfp More information: Databases DevRoom at FOSDEM 2026 | We’re excited to announce the Databases devroom for FOSDEM 2026

🏕️ Campfire talks about everything Domain Driven Design ⛺️

We organized our first DDD Campfire talks last year, which was a great success. What better time than December to host another one! Who doesn't love sharing and listening to stories. Storytelling has been the way that we share experiences and inspire each other, ever since humankind has existed.

Don’t worry, we know It's a bit too cold to sit outside at the moment, that won't hold us back to find a cozy corner inside for our campfire, enjoy food together and share stories. No slides, no elaborate preparation, just a group of people with interesting experiences around Domain-Driven Design. Whether you're a seasoned storyteller or just enjoy listening to a good tale, this gathering is for you!

🧑🏻 Topics 🤖

Last year showed that the cosy atmosphere really allowed everybody to actively participate in sharing their experiences with Domain Driven Design. We had some starter-questions ready, but hardly needed them. This year we'll definitely do the same, maybe with topics starters like "What is the impact of AI 🤖 on what we are trying to achieve as DDD community?". Or maybe the group will decide not to talk about AI at all, as we've been talking about that too much already this year, maybe it's better to talk about 🧑🏻 human stuff for a change 😀.

🚋 Location 🌍

Join us at the Total Design office in IJburg, 15 minutes from Amsterdam Central Station using tram 26. If you come by car, we don't have any parking spots at the location itself, ParkBee Sluishuis is available across the street at a reasonable price.

PyData Roma Capitale Talk Causal ML for Smarter Advertising Campaigns with Python Speaker: Francesco Conti, Data Scientist @Agile Lab Traditional marketing campaign analysis focuses on outcomes (conversions, purchases, interactions), but these metrics cannot tell us whether a campaign truly caused the change or whether customers would have acted anyway. This session explores how Causal Machine Learning addresses this gap. Through concrete, marketing-focused examples, we will discuss:

• Why causality matters more than correlation in campaign evaluation
• How to estimate true causal impact in just a few lines of Python
• How uplift modeling identifies the users whose behavior can actually be changed by the campaign

The session uses Python and the DoWhy library, with practical, real-world scenarios.

Let's farewell 2025 with three amazing interactive short talks on Site Reliability and DevOps topics! As always the event will include an opportunity to mingle with the speakers and attendees over some light snacks and beverages after the talks.

The Meetup will take place on Tuesday, 16th of December 2025 at 6:00 PM at our Chelsea Markets office in NYC. The doors will open at 5:30 pm. Pls RSVP only if you're able to attend in-person, there will be no live streaming.

When RSVP'ing to this event, please enter your full name exactly as it appears on your government issued ID. You will be required to present your ID at check in.

Agenda: Paul Jaffre - Senior Developer Experience Engineer\, sentry.io One Trace to Rule Them All: Unifying Sentry Errors with OpenTelemetry tracing SREs face the challenge of operating reliable observability infrastructure while avoiding vendor lock-in from proprietary APM (Application Performance Monitoring) solutions. OpenTelemetry has become the standard for instrumenting applications, allowing teams to collect traces, metrics, and logs. But raw telemetry data isn't enough. SREs need tools to visualize, debug, and respond to production incidents quickly. Sentry now supports OTLP, enabling teams to send OpenTelemetry data directly to Sentry for analysis. This talk covers how Sentry's OTLP support works in practice: connecting frontend and backend traces across services, correlating logs with distributed traces, and using tools to identify slow queries and performance bottlenecks. We'll discuss the practical benefits for SREs, like faster incident resolution, better cross-team debugging, and the flexibility to change observability backends without re-instrumenting code. Paul’s background spans engineering, product management, UX design, and open source. He has a soft spot for dev tools and loses sleep over making things easy to understand and use. Paul has a dynamic professional background, from strategy to stability. His time at Krossover Intelligence established a strong foundation by blending Product Management with hands-on development, and he later focused on core reliability at MakerBot, where he implemented automated end-to-end testing and drove performance improvements. He then extended this expertise in stability and scale at Cypress.io, where he served as a Developer Experience Engineer, focusing on improving workflow, contribution, and usability for their widely adopted open-source community.

Thiara Ortiz - Cloud Gaming SRE Manager\, Netflix Managing Black Box Systems SREs often face ambiguity when managing black box systems (LLMs, Games, Poorly Understood Dependencies). We will discuss how Netflix monitors service health as black boxes using multiple measurement techniques to understand system behavior, aligning with the need for robust observability tools. These strategies are crucial for system reliability and user experience. By proactively identifying and resolving issues, we ensure smoother playback experience and maintain user trust, even as the platform continues to evolve and gain maturity. The principles shared within this talk can be expanded to other applications such as AI reliability in data quality and model deployments.

Thiara has worked at some of the largest internet companies in the world, Meta and Netflix. During her time at Meta, Thiara found a passion for distributed systems and bringing new hardware into production. Always curious to explore new solutions to complex problems, Thiara developed Fleet Scanner, internally known as Lemonaid, to perform memory, compute, and storage benchmarks on each Meta server in production. This service runs on over 5 million servers and continues to be utilized at Meta. Since Meta, Thiara has been working at Netflix as a Senior CDN Reliability engineer, and now, Cloud Gaming SRE Manager. When incidents occur and Netflix's systems do not behave as expected, Thiara can be found working and engaging the necessary teams to remediate these issues.

Andrew Espira - Platform and Site Reliability Engineer\, Founding Engineer kustode ML-Powered Predictive SRE: Using Behavioral Signals to Prevent Cluster Inefficiencies Before They Impact Production SREs managing ML clusters often discover resource inefficiencies and queue bottlenecks only after they've impacted production services. This talk presents a machine learning approach to predict these issues before they occur, transforming SRE from reactive firefighting to proactive system optimization. We demonstrate how to build predictive models using production cluster traces that identify two critical failure modes: (1) GPU under-utilization relative to requested resources, and (2) abnormal queue wait times that indicate impending service degradation. The SRE practitioners will learn how to extract early warning indicators from standard cluster logs, build ML models that provide actionable confidence scores for operational decisions, and take practical steps to integrate predictive analytics into existing SRE toolchains to achieve 50%+ reduction in resource waste and queue-related incidents This talk bridges the gap between traditional SRE observability and modern predictive analytics, showing how teams can evolve from reactive monitoring to intelligent, forward-looking reliability engineering" Andrew has over 8 years of experience architecting and maintaining large-scale distributed systems. He is the Founding Engineer of Kustode (kustode.com), where he develops cutting-edge reliability and observability solutions for modern infrastructure in the Insurance and health care solutions space. Currently pursuing graduate studies in Data Science at Saint Peter's University, he specializes in the intersection of reliability engineering and artificial intelligence. His research focuses on applying machine learning to operational challenges, with publications in peer-reviewed venues including ScienceDirect. He's passionate about making complex systems more predictable and maintainable through data-driven approaches. When not optimizing cluster performance or building the next generation of observability tools, Andrew enjoys contributing to open-source projects and mentoring early-career engineers in the SRE community.

Program Synthesis (PS) is the task of automatically generating logical procedures or source code from a small set of input-output examples. While LLMs and agents dominate current AI conversations, they often struggle with these kinds of precise reasoning tasks—where smaller, well-structured models for PS can succeed. In this talk, we’ll walk through the end-to-end development of an PS system, covering dataset representation using graph structures, model architectures, and tree search algorithms. The working example for this talk is the generation of procedural textures for 3D modeling, but the methodology is domain-agnostic. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of PS, its real-world potential, and the trade-offs between different architectural approaches. The session is designed for practitioners with a solid understanding of ML concepts and some familiarity with NN architectures such as transformers and CNNs.
