Software Engineering Events in Munich

We're excited to be back with another evening of Database Internals!

This time, we'll look at what happens when open table formats meet native engines. Apache Iceberg V3 and Apache Parquet now carry geospatial types directly in table schemas and metadata, and ClickHouse is learning to keep its MergeTree ingestion speed while continuously landing the same data in Iceberg and Delta. With talks from Snowflake and ClickHouse, the evening will get into the spec-level and engine-level mechanics that let one dataset serve many engines.

As always, there will be plenty of time for networking, discussion, and snacks 🍕.

• Powering Spatial Analytics: Native Geospatial Types in Apache Iceberg

Abstract: Querying spatial data at scale in data lakes has historically relied on a mix of different storage formats, hindering interoperability and effective cross-engine metadata use. The introduction of native geospatial types to Apache Iceberg V3 and Apache Parquet elevated spatial concepts directly into table schemas and metadata.
In this talk, Philipp Fischbeck, Software Engineer at Snowflake, walks through the architectural journey of native geospatial types in Iceberg. We will trace how historical spatial representations evolved into native specification standards, break down the mechanics of planar Geometry versus spherical Geography coordinate systems, and demonstrate how query engines like Snowflake can perform spatial file pruning. Finally, we'll look behind the scenes at the open-source community effort across Apache Parquet and Iceberg that made standardized spatial lakehouse data possible.
Speaker Bio: Philipp Fischbeck is a Software Engineer on the SQL Data Types team at Snowflake, where he works on making complex data shapes, especially geospatial types, convenient and efficient to store and query. His work focuses on Snowflake's core SQL engine capabilities and its integration with open formats like Apache Iceberg and Apache Parquet.

• Interoperability Between ClickHouse and Data Lakes

Abstract: Teams increasingly want two things that usually pull in opposite directions: the raw query speed of ClickHouse for interactive analytics, and their data sitting in open lakehouse formats like Iceberg and Delta so the rest of their stack can use it. Writing directly into Iceberg or Delta is inefficient, a well-known limitation of these table formats. So instead of paying that cost on the write path, you ingest at full speed into a ClickHouse MergeTree table and let an Incremental Refreshable Materialized View asynchronously and incrementally batch the new rows into Iceberg or Delta, giving you both fast insertion and the open copy.
The effect is one dataset with two homes: you keep querying the fast, native MergeTree in ClickHouse, while the same data steadily accumulates in the open lakehouse for Spark, Trino, and anything else you run. Under the hood, it's powered by ClickHouse's streaming queries: each refresh runs a bounded streaming scan that reads only the rows committed since last time and remembers how far it got with a cursor, so the lake copy stays in sync without external orchestration or full reloads. It's simple today, with plenty of room to grow toward broader catalog support, richer transformations, and more efficient large-scale refreshes.

Speaker Bio: Smita Kulkarni is a software engineer at ClickHouse, where she has worked since 2022 on parameterized views, backups, and Azure support. Most recently she has focused on data lakes: Iceberg manifest compaction, Delta Lake support on Azure, and the Incremental Refreshable Materialized View that powers ClickHouse's lakehouse integration. Before ClickHouse, she worked on low-latency software.

🎤 What changed in this room? Spatial memory for physical AI on a Neo4j graph by Jordi Spranger

Robots and AI agents forget the world the moment the camera stops. Spranic gives machines a persistent memory of physical space: capture a room with commodity hardware, turn it into a scene graph in Neo4j, capture it again, and ask the graph what changed. In 20 minutes I show the live pipeline end to end, the graph model behind it (objects, positions, visits, time), and why a graph database is the right substrate for spatial memory. Live demo included.

About Jordi Spranger:
Founder of Spranic (Spranger AI GmbH), building the spatial memory layer for physical AI. Speaker at WeAreDevelopers World Congress 2026.

🎤 It's the Context, Stupid! Context Management Strategies for Long-Horizon Agents by Tobias Lindenbauer, Jetbrains

Agents that write code, browse the web, or do research often start strong but collapse over long tasks: they forget what they already
tried, drown in their own tool outputs, or blow through the budget before finishing. In this talk, I'll walk through how context management for
agents evolved to solve this problem: from simple heuristics like summarization and observation masking, to strategies directly optimized via reinforcement learning. I'll close with a short demo of a tool I built for automatically analyzing thousands of agent runs to debug failure patterns.

About Tobias Lindenbauer:
Tobias Lindenbauer is a Research Engineer at JetBrains Research working on Code World Models for improved LLM code understanding. His previous work on context management was published at DL4C@NeurIPS.

ICEX and the Economic and Commercial Office of Spain in Berlin invite you to our side event at Bits & Pretzels (ICM, Room 22A)

ICEX and the Economic and Commercial Office of Spain in Berlin invite you to a side event to discover why Spain has become a premier platform for innovation, a launchpad for global companies, and a strategic hub for the future European tech leaders.

Spain is emerging as one of Europe’s most dynamic hubs for innovation, entrepreneurship, and technological advancement, being one of only two countries to feature two top-tier global hubs simultaneously: Madrid and Barcelona along with other regions that are also standing out, such as Valencia.
Over the past decade, Spain’s startup ecosystem has reached an unprecedented level of maturity, outperforming historical benchmarks in both stock and flow metrics., and close collaboration with other European ecosystems contributes to establishing a framework for scaling in an uncertain world.
The side event includes two round tables sessions: the first will be focused on how Spain is contributing to build Europe’s next tech leaders, along with other European partners. The second will showcase some of Spain’s top tier global hubs. The side event will include at the end a pitching session by some Spanish startups participating at Bits & Pretzels.

Lokale Modelle selbst betreiben? Das können wir inzwischen alle, und die eigene Nvidia-Infrastruktur gehört in vielen Firmen zum Alltag. Und damit hat man nicht nur die Hardware für die Inference, sondern auch alles, was man zum Trainieren von Modellen braucht.

Während man damit nicht das Modell erzeugen wird, das OpenAI oder Anthropic noch fehlt, gibt es eine Vielzahl von Beispielen, in denen es sich lohnt – etwa eigene Dense/Sparse/ColBert-Embeddings, kleine spezialisierte Modelle zur Extraktion und Aufbereitung von Daten und vieles mehr.

Das Schönste daran: Man muss 2027 auch nicht mehr schlau sein, weil ein neuer Kollege sich nicht nur besser auskennt, sondern auch mehr Ausdauer hat: der Agent im AutoResearch Loop.

Wer also heute schon wissen will, wie man 2027 selbst Modelle trainiert – gerne vorbeikommen und Ideen, Erfahrungen und Notebooks für Colab mitnehmen … unser Speaker (und CTO) Johann wird's euch danken, wenn einige von euch auch mitspielen.

Abstract:
Legacy Java EE monoliths still power many critical systems, but scaling and evolving them for the cloud can be a major challenge. In this session, I’ll share a practical, step-by-step approach to modernizing monolithic applications into scalable microservices using Jakarta EE, MicroProfile, and cloud-native tools—based on real-life experience from a recent client project undergoing this exact transformation.
We’ll cover how to identify service boundaries, isolate functionality using the strangler pattern, and incrementally transition to microservices without disrupting business operations. You'll see how to improve communication using REST and messaging platforms like Kafka, while applying MicroProfile APIs for configuration, health checks, metrics, and resilience.
We’ll also explore cloud deployment strategies and maintenance in production, including monitoring and troubleshooting.
Whether you’re starting your modernization journey or refining your approach, this talk provides a proven, experience-backed roadmap you can apply in your own projects.

More information on the event webpage: www.mq.sc/mqsf

You can find the full program here!

Please Note:
Until now, MQSF has been free of charge for participants, largely thanks to funding from research projects and substantial investments by the organizers. While this model allowed us to establish and grow the event, it is unfortunately not sustainable in the long term. To ensure that MQSF can continue to bring together the quantum community in a professional and sustainable way, we have expanded the event's funding model. The largest contribution now comes from our sponsors, whose generous support makes MQSF possible in the first place. We are sincerely grateful for their commitment (check out the sponsors at https://mq.sc/mqsf/#sponsors).

In addition, we have introduced a modest registration fee of €99 (covering access to the event, the venue, drinks, lunches, and refreshments during breaks). Besides helping to cover a portion of the event costs, the fee also reduces no-show registrations and allows us to plan the event more reliably. We are grateful for your support in helping us keep MQSF a sustainable and high-quality community event.
