Google Cloud Budapest Meetup: AI-Native Engineering vs. Core Fundamentals
About this event
Google Cloud Budapest Meetup is back!
Join us on June 17th at the Aliz office in Budapest for an evening of deep-tech insights, practical engineering strategies, and networking with fellow Google Cloud and AI enthusiasts.
As AI tools reshape the development landscape, the definition of a "good engineer" is shifting. This meetup isn't about generic AI prompts - it's about the concrete skills and old-school engineering discipline required to build reliable, scalable, AI-native applications.
🎫 The event is free, but seats are limited. Save yours now! 👇

Talk 1: Becoming a Context Engineering Professional in Your Domain by Tamás Imets (AI Solution Architect), Aliz
The most underrated skill in the AI era: context engineering. How to structure prompts, design context windows, and become a force multiplier in your technical domain. Practical patterns from the field that turn good engineers into AI-native practitioners.
Talk 2: The Revenge of the Fundamentals: old-school ideas winning in the AI era by Máté Czékus (Lead Architect) and Aamna Tayyab (Head of Delivery), Adroit Group
The core argument: LLMs accelerate code generation are non-deterministic and inconsistent by default, which makes foundational engineering practices and tooling more important then ever. Teams that skipped the fundamentals, or was still hand rolling checks when AI arrived are paying for it at integration boundaries — it'll be way more harder to guide agent to write compliant and consistent code, and even harder to review the huge amount that was generated.
Three fundamental tools doing more work than they get credit for:
- JSON Schema — enforcing the contract between modules
- TDD — writing the tests before the code
- Linters and formatters — static governance that guides the shapeand correctness what the model sometimes misses even with context
Máté brings a live demo: one real multi-cloud cost explorer example showing what AI tooling produces by default vs the disciplined version side by side.
