Cloud & DevOps Events in Amsterdam

Cloud infrastructure and operations events in Europe split between the big annual anchors (KubeCon + CloudNativeCon EU, DevOpsDays in a dozen cities, AWS re:Invent viewing parties, HashiConf) and the monthly community rhythm of Kubernetes user groups, Cloud Native meetups, and platform-engineering guild nights. This page tracks both.

This page narrows the Amsterdam calendar to Cloud & DevOps events. It's a subset of Netherlands's wider tech-event schedule, useful when you want something specific to go to in the city this month.

Amsterdam runs one of the strongest applied-AI event calendars in Europe. The city is full of product engineering teams actually shipping AI features, which shows up as depth in LLM integration, agent, RAG, and evaluation-focused meetups. Product management and design events are also unusually strong here (The Next Web, Mind The Product, Config EU satellites), as is the data-engineering scene around dbt and Snowflake.

Amsterdam, πŸ‡³πŸ‡± Netherlands

Dark Side of AI Infrastructure - What It Takes to Keep Systems Running

πŸ“ Cinema The Pulse, Amsterdam Zuid
πŸ“… November 19, 2026
πŸ•• 18:00–22:00 (Doors open at 18:00, Talks start at 18:30)

πŸ’‘ About

AI gets the headlines. Infrastructure does the heavy lifting.

Behind every new model, product and platform are engineering teams making difficult decisions about performance, reliability, capacity and scale.

But what does it actually take to keep complex systems running?

Manychat is bringing together Amsterdam's SRE, Platform Engineering and Infrastructure community for an evening of technical talks with engineers from Manychat, JetBrains and Nebius.

We'll get into the challenges that rarely make it into product announcements: responding to incidents, making the most of limited GPU capacity, managing infrastructure trade-offs and keeping production systems reliable.

Three engineering perspectives. Real production challenges. Plenty to discuss.

And once the talks are over, we'll continue the conversation over food and drinks.

⚑ What to Expect

🎀 3 Technical Deep Dives
Engineering insights from the teams behind Manychat, JetBrains and Nebius.

βš™οΈ Behind the Infrastructure
Incident response, GPU scheduling, capacity constraints and the decisions that shape production reliability.

πŸ’¬ Questions Worth Asking
Go beyond the slides, discuss technical trade-offs and compare approaches with speakers and fellow engineers.

πŸ₯‚ Meet the Community
Connect with Amsterdam's SRE, Platform and Infrastructure engineers over drinks and snacks.

πŸ—“οΈ Agenda

18:00 – Doors open, food & networking

18:30 – Welcome & opening

18:40 – 🎀 **Dzmitry Yatskevich****, Head of Infrastructure at **Manychat

Cut Incident Time from 10 Hours to 10 Minutes

Twenty years of incident management distilled into practical lessons. Dzmitry will cover the stages of incident response, the OODA loop and approaches to reducing MTTA and MTTR - with or without additional tooling.

19:15 – 🎀 **Andrei Vishniakov****, MLOps Lead at **JetBrains

Overcommit on Purpose: Fast Pulls, Dense Packing, and Fair GPU Scheduling for ML Workloads

Andrei will explore how to balance GPU availability and utilization, including the scheduling challenges of reinforcement-learning workloads and the engineering trade-offs involved.

19:45 – 🎀 **Ivan Bakurskii****, Lead SRE at **Nebius

25+ PiB and Counting: Lessons from Running Nebius’s Data Platform.

Ivan will share how Nebius runs a 25+ PiB internal data platform powered by YTsaurus, exploring unexpected challenges across Kubernetes and Linux, engineering trade-offs, and practical lessons from keeping distributed storage and data processing reliable in production.

20:20 – Closing

20:30 – πŸ₯‚ Drinks, snacks & community networking

22:00 – Event close
