Risk Based Testing in the Age of AI | 5th New York Meetup
2026-01-28 · 23:00
The Test Tribe 5th New York Meetup – Risk-Based Testing in the Age of AI: What Changes, What Doesn’t AI is accelerating how software is built-but it doesn’t change the fundamentals of good testing. In fact, it makes them more important than ever. Risk-based testing has long been a proven approach for delivering value under real-world constraints. In this session, Jess Ingrassellino explores how AI and automation align naturally with risk-based testing-not as replacements for strong testing practices, but as powerful force multipliers. As development speed increases dramatically with AI tooling, testers must be even more deliberate about identifying risk early, communicating it clearly, and making informed decisions about what will and will not be tested. This talk focuses on how AI can strengthen each stage of that process-while keeping human judgment firmly at the center. Expect a practical, grounded discussion that separates real value from hype and shows how AI can support smarter, more intentional testing. Event Details

Google NY Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) Tech Talks, 16 Dec 2025
2025-12-16 · 23:00
Google SRE NYC proudly announces our last Google SRE NYC Tech Talk for 2025. This event is co-sponsored by sentry.io. Thank you Sentry for your partnership! 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. Our Tech Talks series are for professional development and networking: no recruiters, sales or press please! Google is committed to providing a harassment-free and inclusive conference experience for everyone, and all participants must follow our Event Community Guidelines. The event will be photographed and video recorded. Event space is limited! A reservation is required to attend. Reserve your spot today and share the event details with your SRE/DevOps friends 🙂 |

This talk unveils LCP’s role in creating faster, more engaging web experiences and why it’s key to winning user loyalty. Dive into the “unheard story” of LCP and discover practical tips to make your site not only faster but unforgettable. 4:20 PM: 🎤 Ash Davies - Navigation in a Multiplatform World: Choosing the Right Framework for your App Navigation in mobile, desktop, and web applications is such a fundamental part of how we structure our architecture. In order to both obtain functional clarity, and abstraction from platform level implementation. For a long time, there have been options available specific to each platform, and even options part of the platform framework itself. Though it can be difficult to find the right option for platform-agnostic code, ensuring consistency. Some go one step further, providing an opinionated guide on how to architecture your application. In this talk, I'll evaluate the options available, how they differ, and to what type of applications they are best suited. Including how to get started with them, and the best practice guidelines on how to get the most out of them, for your application. 5:10 PM: 🎤 Vadim Makeev - You don’t know MathML. Almost nobody does Do you speak math? Me neither. Still, math formulas have always been around: from Wikipedia articles to JavaScript APIs and even CSS docs. It looks so alien that I never had a clue how to express it on the web. Apparently, there’s a markup language for that. HTML for content, SVG for vector graphics, and MathML for math! And it’s pretty cross-browser, too. Let’s dive into the basics and quirks of the language of the universe. Even if math is not your love language, you might learn something interesting about the web platform. Day 2 9:00 AM: Registration & Coffee 🥐 ☕️ 10:00 AM: 🎤 Alex Mir – Accessibility matters The regulators are here and now businesses will care about the a11y.

The choice of technology may depend on the developer, or it may be pre-determined by the client, as happened in my case. The peculiarity is that, coming from frontend development in JavaScript, I started building user interfaces in Flutter. Today, there is a vast number of technologies that enable the development of cross-platform applications. These technologies are evolving rapidly, attracting large communities, and more frequently, companies are adopting them. For example, Flutter is a powerful framework that allows developers to create cross-platform applications. With a high probability, every developer may encounter the need to use such development tools, and it’s great that frameworks like Flutter come with detailed documentation and extensive community support, making it relatively easy to start developing with them. Although, at first glance, everything might not seem smooth, and the desire to revert to familiar methods may arise. 12:05 PM: 🎤 Muhammad Salman Bediya - Crucial Performance Issue in Flutter Apps: Memory Leaks Memory leaks can be hard to spot but have a big impact on the performance of Flutter apps, especially those running for long periods. In this talk, we’ll explore the most common reasons memory leaks happen in Flutter and Dart, focusing on how asynchronous programming and Streams can make them more challenging.

0:00 hi everyone Welcome to our event this event is brought to you by data dos club which is a community of people who love 0:06 data and we have weekly events and today one is one of such events and I guess we 0:12 are also a community of people who like to wake up early if you're from the states right Christopher or maybe not so 0:19 much because this is the time we usually have uh uh our events uh for our guests 0:27 and presenters from the states we usually do it in the evening of Berlin time but yes unfortunately it kind of 0:34 slipped my mind but anyways we have a lot of events you can

one today and of course very important do not forget to join our community where you can hang out with 1:09 other data enthusiasts during today's interview you can ask any question there's a pin Link in live chat so click 1:18 on that link ask your question and we will be covering these questions during the interview now I will stop sharing my 1:27 screen and uh there is there's a a message in uh and Christopher is from 1:34 you so we actually have this on YouTube but so they have not seen what you wrote 1:39 but there is a message from to anyone who's watching this right now from Christopher saying hello everyone can I 1:46 call you Chris or you okay I should go I should uh I should look on YouTube then okay yeah but anyways I'll you don't 1:53 need like you we'll need to focus on answering questions and I'll keep an eye 1:58 I'll be keeping an eye on all the question questions so um 2:04 yeah if you're ready we can start I'm ready yeah and you prefer Christopher 2:10 not Chris right Chris is fine Chris is fine it's a bit shorter um 2:18 okay so this week we'll talk about data Ops again maybe it's a tradition that we talk about data Ops every like once per 2:25 year but we actually skipped one year so because we did not have we haven't had 2:31 Chris for some time so today we have a very special guest Christopher Christopher is the co-founder CEO and 2:37 head chef or hat cook at data kitchen with 25 years of experience maybe this 2:43 is outdated uh cuz probably now you have more and maybe you stopped counting I 2:48 don't know but like with tons of years of experience in analytics and software engineering Christopher is known as the 2:55 co-author of the data Ops cookbook and data Ops Manifesto and it's not the 3:00 first time we have Christopher here on the podcast we interviewed him two years ago also about data Ops and this one 3:07 will be about data hops so we'll catch up and see what actually changed in in 3:13 these two years and yeah so welcome to the interview well thank you for having 3:19 me I'm I'm happy to be here and talking all things related to data Ops and why 3:24 why why bother with data Ops and happy to talk about the company or or what's changed 3:30 excited yeah so let's dive in so the questions for today's interview are prepared by Johanna berer as always 3:37 thanks Johanna for your help so before we start with our main topic for today 3:42 data Ops uh let's start with your ground can you tell us about your career Journey so far and also for those who 3:50 have not heard have not listened to the previous podcast maybe you can um talk 3:55 about yourself and also for those who did listen to the previous you can also maybe give a summary of what has changed 4:03 in the last two years so we'll do yeah so um my name is Chris so I guess I'm 4:09 a sort of an engineer so I spent about the first 15 years of my career in 4:15 software sort of working and building some AI systems some non- AI systems uh 4:21 at uh Us's NASA and MIT linol lab and then some startups and then um 4:30 Microsoft and then about 2005 I got I got the data bug uh I think you know my 4:35 kids were small and I thought oh this data thing was easy and I'd be able to go home uh for dinner at 5 and life 4:41 would be fine um because I was a big you started your own company right and uh it didn't work out that way 4:50 and um and what was interesting is is for me it the problem wasn't doing the 4:57 data like I we had smart people who did data science and data engineering the act of creating things it was like the 5:04 systems around the data that were hard um things it was really hard to not have 5:11 errors in production and I would sort of driving to work and I had a Blackberry at the time and I would not look at my 5:18 Blackberry all all morning I had this long drive to work and I'd sit in the parking lot and take a deep breath and 5:24 look at my Blackberry and go uh oh is there going to be any problems today and I'd be and if there wasn't I'd walk and 5:30 very happy um and if there was I'd have to like rce myself um and you know and 5:36 then the second problem is the team I worked for we just couldn't go fast enough the customers were super 5:42 demanding they didn't care they all they always thought things should be faster and we are always behind and so um how 5:50 do you you know how do you live in that world where things are breaking left and right you're terrified of making errors 5:57 um and then second you just can't go fast enough um and it's preh Hadoop era 6:02 right it's like before all this big data Tech yeah before this was we were using 6:08 uh SQL Server um and we actually you know we had smart people so we we we 6:14 built an engine in SQL Server that made SQL Server a column or 6:20 database so we built a column or database inside of SQL Server um so uh 6:26 in order to make certain things fast and and uh yeah it was it was really uh it's not 6:33 bad I mean the principles are the same right before Hadoop it's it's still a database there's still indexes there's 6:38 still queries um things like that we we uh at the time uh you would use olap 6:43 engines we didn't use those but you those reports you know are for models it's it's not that different um you know 6:50 we had a rack of servers instead of the cloud um so yeah and I think so what what I 6:57 took from that was uh it's just hard to run a team of people to do do data and analytics and it's not 7:05 really I I took it from a manager perspective I started to read Deming and 7:11 think about the work that we do as a factory you know and in a factory that produces insight and not automobiles um 7:18 and so how do you run that factory so it produces things that are good of good 7:24 quality and then second since I had come from software I've been very influenced 7:29 by by the devops movement how you automate deployment how you run in an agile way how you 7:35 produce um how you how you change things quickly and how you innovate and so 7:41 those two things of like running you know running a really good solid production line that has very low errors 7:47 um and then second changing that production line at at very very often they're kind of opposite right um and so 7:55 how do you how do you as a manager how do you technically approach that and 8:00 then um 10 years ago when we started data kitchen um we've always been a profitable company and so we started off 8:07 uh with some customers we started building some software and realized that we couldn't work any other way and that 8:13 the way we work wasn't understood by a lot of people so we had to write a book and a Manifesto to kind of share our our 8:21 methods and then so yeah we've been in so we've been in business now about a little over 10 8:28 years oh that's cool and uh like what 8:33 uh so let's talk about dat offs and you mentioned devops and how you were inspired by that and by the way like do 8:41 you remember roughly when devops as I think started to appear like when did people start calling these principles 8:49 and like tools around them as de yeah so agile Manifesto well first of all the I 8:57 mean I had a boss in 1990 at Nasa who had this idea build a 9:03 little test a little learn a lot right that was his Mantra and then which made 9:09 made a lot of sense um and so and then the sort of agile software Manifesto 9:14 came out which is very similar in 2001 and then um the sort of first real 9:22 devops was a guy at Twitter started to do automat automated deployment you know 9:27 push a button and that was like 200 Nish and so the first I think devops 9:33 Meetup was around then so it's it's it's been 15 years I guess 6 like I was 9:39 trying to so I started my career in 2010 so I my first job was a Java 9:44 developer and like I remember for some things like we would just uh SFTP to the 9:52 machine and then put the jar archive there and then like keep our fingers crossed that it doesn't break uh uh like 10:00 it was not really the I wouldn't call it this way right you were deploying you 10:06 had a Dey process I put it yeah 10:11 right was that so that was documented too it was like put the jar on production cross your 10:17 fingers I think there was uh like a page on uh some internal Viki uh yeah that 10:25 describes like with passwords and don't like what you should do yeah that was and and I think what's interesting is 10:33 why that changed right and and we laugh at it now but that was why didn't you 10:38 invest in automating deployment or a whole bunch of automated regression 10:44 tests right that would run because I think in software now that would be rare 10:49 that people wouldn't use C CD they wouldn't have some automated tests you know functional 10:56 regression tests that would be the |

Databricks Workflows CICD and Automated Testing
2024-05-22 · 22:00
Please join us on 22nd May, 2024 to listen to the topic: Databricks Workflows CICD and Automated Testing What \~ Toronto Data Professionals Community (Virtual) When \~ Wednesday, 22nd May, 2024 Agenda:
Where: Online via Microsoft team Session Details: Databricks Workflows (also known as Jobs) are a great choice for automating data pipelines. Once the code is ready comes the important step of promoting beyond your dev environment. Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) involves versioning, testing, and deploying your data processing jobs. Databricks provides tools that allow us to follow these DevOps best practices, but how do we put these together to ensure quality and manage workflow promotion across isolated environments? Join this session to learn some of the most common ways teams leverage Databricks to version, test, and deploy their automated data pipelines. In this session we cover some basic CI/CD concepts and the options within Databricks. Then we walk through an example of merging, testing, and deploying a workflow change. Speaker Bio: Dustin Vannoy is a Data Engineering Consultant experienced in solving business problems with analytics and big data solutions. He is passionate about all aspects of data engineering, especially building data platforms and streaming data pipelines. He currently focuses on building data platforms and pipelines in Apache Spark / Databricks, Kafka, Python, and Scala. He is co-founder of the Data Engineering San Diego meetup and encourages others to grow their data skills by making tutorials, mentoring others, and speaking at events. |
