What does “real time” truly mean in the world of Formula 1 - and what happens when a domain expert builds the application with an AI coding agent?
F1 Unleashed is Nelson Sousa’s latest personal project: an application that streams, downloads, visualises and analyses Formula 1 data while the action is still unfolding.
Timing screens. Weather. Telemetry. Strategy insights. Tactical opportunities. Predictions.
Not a Monday-morning explanation of how Sunday’s race was won or lost, but insights when they still matter.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁
📡 Live Formula 1 timing, weather and telemetry data
📊 Near-real-time race analysis, predictions and strategy insights
⚡ The challenge of reducing latency from one hour to five minutes, five seconds and ultimately under one second
🧠 Why predictive models are only as good—and as fast—as the data pipelines feeding them
🤖 How Nelson used Claude Code as an implementation agent while retaining control over the domain reasoning, architecture and validation
🛠️ An honest look at the possibilities, lessons and limitations of agentic engineering
The AI helped write the application. Nelson decided what it needed to understand.
Whether you are a Formula 1 fan or interested in streaming data, predictive modelling, real-time analytics or AI-assisted software engineering, this meetup is for you.

"Keynote: How Software-defined Robotics is Rewriting the Physical World" by Daniel Gebler, Picnic CTO

Robotics is not primarily a hardware challenge. The hard part is building software that turns imperfect data into reliable decisions and coordinates thousands of moving parts in the physical world. Picnic is building a software-defined grocery operation spanning demand forecasting, inventory, automated fulfilment, warehouse robotics, routing and delivery.

Java/Spring microservices, event-driven workflows, optimisation engines and machine-learning models work together as a distributed cyber-physical system - handling asynchronous events, partial failures, changing state and hard real-world deadlines.

In this keynote, Daniel Gebler, CTO of Picnic, explores how to decompose physical operations into reliable services, coordinate them through events and state, combine probabilistic AI with deterministic rules and guardrails, and use observability, simulation and feedback loops to evolve complex systems safely.

As AI begins to write code, operate tools and make decisions, engineers will increasingly design the boundaries, evaluations, failure handling and ownership models that make these systems trustworthy. A practical deep dive into Java microservices, AI, robotics and the architecture required to make software move the physical world.

"Part 1: The Gray Factory" by Victor Rentea

The most agentified engineering teams of my clients are all converging towards the same workflow, aiming to optimize the code review step while preventing human cognitive debt and skill erosion.

This talk summarizes their practices, teaching actionable steps and milestones to gradually improve the quality of AI-generated code up to a point in which you can safely start decreasing the code review ‘intensity’.

Dark Factories are not built ground up - instead, lights are responsibly dimmed, then turned off one by one, area by area, after observing impeccable code produced consistently.

"Part 2: Career Reconversion to Agentic Engineer" by Victor Rentea

• Identity crisis - who are we?
• Mandatory mindset changes
• What makes a good Agentic Engineer?
• Job Interviews - what matters?
• Skill Erosion
• Team structures
• Cognitive Debt (former Tech Debt)
• Agentic Worklife Calisthenics
• Fastest Reconversion Path
• Helping the Skeptics

Dear all,

We are happy to invite you to the next edition of the PostgreSQL User Group NL Meetup on 29 september 2026 in Amsterdam.

This time we have been invited by ABN AMRO to host the event at their offices on the Gustav Mahlerlaan. We are very appreciative of this gesture and would like to thank them for supporting the PostgreSQL community with the venue and the hospitality.

On the agenda we have two great talks. First up is Sebastiaan Mannem, who will take us deep into the PostgreSQL IO subsystem, following data changes from query to datafile and everything that happens in between. Next on the program is Peter Lengkeek, who will share his journey into CloudNativePG (CNPG).

As usual, we have reserved some space in the program for anyone who wants to do a lightning talk. If you are interested, please contact us via a personal message on meetup.com.

We are very grateful for the contributions of both presenters as well as our host, to make this all possible for the PostgreSQL community in the Netherlands.

We hope to meet many of you at the meetup, a moment where PostgreSQL users can connect, share knowledge, and discuss the latest developments in the PostgreSQL ecosystem.

We look forward to a great meetup!

Feike Steenbergen

Meetup Program

17:30 – 18:25 — Welcome, Beer & Bites

18:30 — Opening

18:30 – 19:10 Postgres IO internals: Between query and datafile
Sebastiaan Mannem - CTO Nibble IT

Abstract: When a query inserts, updates or deletes data (DML), or objects (DDL), these changes end up in the Postgres datafiles — but not immediately. Where does the data end up in between, and which process(es) take care of that? And why, and how? How does Postgres remain consistent — what does it keep consistent, and what is never consistent? And how does the changed data end up on the standby — how is synchronous replication implemented? These are some deep questions, and we will try to tap into many (if not all) of them, and more, as we follow data changes from query, through the PostgreSQL IO subsystem, until it hits the data files.

About Sebastiaan: Technically driven database, container and cloud specialist. Earned my stripes and was battle hardened by the Dutch Government. As CTO of Nibble-IT I do all I can to make our customers successfull with PostgreSQL, which includes: enable with design, build stuff, enable the next generation of consultants and developers.

— (Very) Short Break —

19:15 – 19:55 — My journey into CNPG – Peter Lengkeek DBA for CloudNativePG – Savepoint

Abstract Getting familiar with CloudNativePG, running PostgreSQL on Kubernetes, is not difficult. Install Kubernetes on your Windows or MacBook and start. Create My first cluster, yes! Going further, is for most PostgreSQL DBA’s a bigger step to take. Learning Kubernetes concepts and all the available tooling, related to CloudNativePG and Kubernetes. Often, I see organizations struggling with the implementation of CloudNativePG as a product, although the have chosen the product on corporate level.
In my presentation I share my journey into CloudNativePG. Hopefully, to support PostgreSQL experts to go the same road. Also, I want to reflect some aspects of the implementation of CloudNativePG in organizations.

About Peter: I started 35 years ago, working with Oracle database technology. Mainly in the role of a Database Administrator and Developer, specialized in the combination of technology and organization.
At the beginning of 2024 I started a consultancy job at a client of OptimaData with PostgreSQL database technology. I jumped into a "pressure cooker" to learn all kind of PostgreSQL knowledge compared to my reference model of Oracle.
Since August 2024 I’m focused on the CloudNativePG operator for PostgreSQL databases on Kubernetes. For me, the way to go! I was several times a guest lecturer for an intro training CloudNativePG, including the Blue Elephant Pack. I'm happy to help organizations and DevOps teams get the most out of CloudNativePG.

Join in with the latest Amsterdam JUG Workshop at Dash0 (which is at Dash0, Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 162/Suite 401, 1012SJ Amsterdam), in which we learn all the basic principles of OpenTelemetry, while eating pizza, (and celebrating Yoeri Krom's birthday).

Important:

• Bring your own laptop because this is a hands-on workshop where you'll be learning about OpenTelemetry from scratch!
• On your laptop, you need a local Kubernetes cluster to already be running (e.g., kind or k3s).
• On your laptop, you need to have a Java, Node, .NET, Python or Ruby application that is important to you and that you know how to deploy on Kubernetes; if you don’t have one, we will have test applications available, but that would only be half the fun!
• Limited seats, exclusive workshop, sign up quick!

Agenda

17:30 — Doors Open (and Food and Drinks)
18:00–18:20 — OpenTelemetry for Complete Beginners (Part 1).
18:20–18:50 — OpenTelemetry for Complete Beginners (Part 2).
18:50–19:20 — Hands on Lab 1: Instrumenting a demo app.
19:20–19:35 — Break.
19:35–20:10 — Hands on Lab 2: From data to answers.
20:10–20:40 — Hands on Lab 3: Break things on purpose.
20:40–21:00 — Wrap-up.

Details on Labs

Lab 1: Instrument a demo app. Add OpenTelemetry to a small service from scratch: SDK, auto-instrumentation, and a collector. You'll send the resulting traces, metrics, and logs into a demo environment so you can see what your instrumentation actually produces.

Lab 2: From data to answers. With telemetry flowing, we'll work through real questions: which service is slow, why, and what changed. The environment that we set up in Lab 1 is our workbench, but the techniques (correlating traces with logs, reading resource attributes, querying by semantic conventions) apply to any OTel-compatible backend.

Lab 3: Break things on purpose. Introduce latency, errors, and a misbehaving dependency into the demo app, while tracing the failure back to its cause using only what OTel gives you. The goal is to see how much of a real incident you can reconstruct from the signals, using the demo environment to check whether your diagnosis continues to makes sense.

For a lot of us Instagram, WhatsApp and Google have become part of our everyday lives. That's why during Waag Open on 1 October, we’re on the hunt for the better alternatives.

Join in with the latest Amsterdam JUG Meetup at Mollie, Keizersgracht 126, in central Amsterdam.

Agenda:

17:30: Doors open (and food)
18:00 - 18:45 - Talk 1: "Your Spring Boot Production is Bleeding. Let's Fix That." -- Mikhail Polivakha
18:45 - 19:30 - Talk 2: "Building Scalable, Low-Latency Fraud Detection AI in Java" -- Zoran Sevarac
19:30 - 20:15 - Talk 3: "Breaking the Monolith: Learnings from a Year of Improvements" -- Murat Özkan
20:15 - 21:00 - Talk 4: "HTTP: How Teenagers Talk to Their Parents" -- Hanno Embregts

Abstracts:

Talk 1: "Your Spring Boot Production is Bleeding. Let's Fix That." -- Mikhail Polivakha

The Java community shares a stack: Spring, Hibernate, Spring Data, Jackson. And with it a set of best practices we hear on repeat:

• Disable Open Session in View in production
• Avoid N+1, EAGER fetching, Cascade.REMOVE on collections
• Adopt Project Leyden and Lilliput and so on.

We know the rules by heart. But who checks that every service in the fleet actually follows them? In this talk, I will introduce Axelix, an OSS toolkit that closes that gap for Spring Boot ecosystems.

A lightweight starter plus a build-system plugin discovers each service's misconfigurations, persistence anti-patterns, and JVM improvement opportunities, then streams them to the Axelix Master - a single monitoring view, fleet-wide and per service.

We will go from a bare app to actionable insight live and see how Axelix exposes the opportunities to fix the findings to AI Agents via a built-in MCP server.

Talk 2: "Building Scalable, Low-Latency Fraud Detection AI in Java" -- Zoran Sevarac

For modern payment platforms, fraud detection is not only a machine learning problem — it is a business-critical capability. As transaction volumes grow, payment providers need to detect risk effectively while maintaining fast payment processing, controlling infrastructure costs, and scaling without adding unnecessary operational complexity.

In this session, we’ll show how an end-to-end fraud detection pipeline can be built entirely in Java — from transaction ingestion and feature processing to machine learning inference and fraud scoring.

Using payment fraud detection as a practical use case, we’ll examine the engineering decisions that directly affect business outcomes: how to increase transaction-processing capacity, maintain predictable low latency, reduce infrastructure overhead, simplify integration, and scale fraud detection cost-effectively as payment volumes grow.

Talk 3: "Breaking the Monolith: Learnings from a Year of Improvements" -- Murat Özkan

After a year of effort reducing the complexity of a 15-year-old monolithic codebase at Miro, we are back to share our learnings, both technical and
organizational. Organizational challenges often get overlooked, but they are critical for success at scale.

On the organizational side, we will discuss some "controversial" topics, such as the value of modularization, building and keeping sponsorship, prioritizing by impact, and the role of standards and observability. Without those, this project wouldn't have got past a personal hobby.

On the technical side, we will talk about some patterns that caused tight coupling in the codebase over the years, and how we detect and remove them without disrupting day-to-day development. That includes the role of agents in the trenches.

This talk is for any developer, team lead, or architect trying to improve a codebase that is too big to fix alone.

Talk 4: "HTTP: How Teenagers Talk to Their Parents" -- Hanno Embregts

As a parent, I’ve often found that getting a straight answer from a teenager can feel like an exercise in debugging. This realisation led me to discover the surprisingly close parallels between navigating those conversations and understanding HTTP status codes.

This talk won’t be about parenting (though there will be anecdotes!), but rather about decoding the language that modern systems use to communicate – success, failure, and everything in between.

We’ll explore common HTTP status codes, their implications for developers, testers, architects, and anyone who works with data, and discover how these codes can help us troubleshoot problems, build more resilient applications, and perhaps even understand the often-mysterious responses we receive from the teenagers in our lives.

The October event will be hosted by the MySQL team at Oracle.

🍕 Free event with pizzas and drinks

🗓️ Date & Time:
Join us on October 14, at 18:00 for an evening filled with insights, networking, and the joy of AI.

📍 Location: We'll gather at the Xebia office at
Wibautstraat 200, 1091 GS Amsterdam

🕒 Event Schedule:

• 17:30 - Walk in, Drinks & Pizza 🍕
• 18:00 - Explainable Agentic Workflows - Arman Kavian
• 18:40 - Can Agents Dream? - Florian Buetow
• 19:20 - Grounding AI Agents in Your Data Model - Ricardo Granados
• 20:00 - Drinks and networking
• 21:00 - Doors close

💬 Talks:

• Explainable Agentic Workflows - Arman Kavian
  Agents don't report their reasoning. They narrate it. Preserve the reasoning as structure, and the story can be checked against what actually drove the outcome.

• Can Agents Dream? - Florian Buetow
  During sleep, our brain replays and reorganizes past actions and experiences, helping us learn from them through dreaming. Most agents' memory systems have no equivalent. They store and retrieve information on demand. But they do not replay or learn from the agents' past actions. This session introduces dreaming as an agentic memory architecture that improves the performance of long-running agents. It covers the main approaches and compares them with retrieval-based memory systems.

• Grounding AI Agents in Your Data Model - Ricardo Granados Lopez
  AI can already read your SQL and draft what a data model means. This talk is about what has to be true before you'd trust that draft enough to rely on it. We'll walk through a working pipeline, live, that grounds an AI agent's claims about your data in real evidence, and come away with a precise, testable answer for where that trust can be automatic and where it can't.
