The Open Discussion↓

When writing code becomes easier, what becomes more important?

Join us for an open conversation about what this shift means for students and professionals. We’ll explore how the developer’s role is changing, where AI agents can help, and why understanding the applications we build still matters.

For students, we’ll discuss the foundations worth learning, how to demonstrate your skills in an AI-assisted project, and how cloud knowledge can support your first steps into tech. For professionals, we’ll explore how to evaluate AI-generated work, decide what to delegate, and keep quality, security, and maintainability in view.

We’ll also connect the conversation to AWS: what does it take to move from generated code to an application that runs reliably in the cloud?
Bring your questions, experiments, and lessons learned. Whether you’re building your first project or maintaining production systems, your perspective belongs in the conversation.

Our first official meetup 🎉
This event marks the official launch of AWS User Group Bochum! Melody Egwuchukwu will introduce the community, share its vision, and unveil our new logo.

Whether you’re searching for your first internship, building applications professionally, or simply curious about AI and AWS, come meet others who are learning, building, and asking similar questions. You’ll also have the chance to share ideas for future meetups and help shape the community from the beginning.

Speakers
Md. Mostafa Al Mahmud is a Senior Software Engineer at Cogwheel Marketing & Analytics. He has presented on generative AI, AWS, and building cloud-based AI applications, bringing a practical perspective to conversations about technology and the future of work.

Emad Bawah is a Senior Consultant at Adesso SE with a focus on AWS, generative AI, and agentic AI.
He brings a robust skill set from his role in building smarter AI agents and experience interfacing with Clients and building AI solutions.

Please note:
At the event, photos and videos will be taken by our hosts, which would be published on our Social Pages.

Software EngineeringMeetupFree

Fifth Elixir Ruhr Meetup: Frugal Networking

Bochum, 🇩🇪 Germany

We're excited to announce our fifth Elixir Ruhr Meetup.

This time, we welcome Christian Geuer-Pollmann, principal reliability engineer at Microsoft's Azure Engineering team, who will kick things off with a talk about frugal networking in Elixir:

I just wanted to run web sites on my laptop, with real Let’s Encrypt TLS, without memorizing port numbers because localhost:4000 is always taken.

Then things (well, me) escalated:

  • What if it’s a BEAM cluster, where every node needs the exact same auto-renewed key material, even behind NAT where Let’s Encrypt can’t reach it (can's use Saša Jurić's site_encrypt)?
  • What if my DNS provider’s API token can do too much stuff, and I want cryptographic, single-record ACLs?
  • What if I refuse to hand my private keys to (and pay for) Cloudflare, want true end-to-end TLS via a cheap VPS, without exposing my home IP, and still want Phoenix's conn.remote_ip to be the real visitor—without X-Forwarded-For?
  • And what if the server is a little picture frame (running Nerves)?

Come see how a pure pure-Elixir AMQP 1.0, SNI-peeking reverse tunnels, cluster-aware ACME, fine-grained DNS gateways, and a bit of Rust (phx-port, SCM_RIGHTS socket handoff & eBPF) fit together - and why yak shaving is the best way to learn systems programming on the BEAM.

Some words about Christian:
Christian Geuer-Pollmann (chgeuer on the Internets) currently is with Microsoft's Azure Engineering team as principal reliability engineer. During his 23-year MSFT tenure, he worked at Microsoft Research on identity and access topics, and since 2011 has been bringing software companies into the cloud. He loves esoteric shit like Elixir and F#, holds a PhD in electrical engineering and currently spends way to much time renovating his house.

---

Please note that the talk will take place on-site only and won’t be streamed. We can hold it in either German or English - whichever works best for the people attending.

We hope for a great evening, with an inspiring talk and insightful discussions. And, of course, dinks & Pizza.

A rough timeline will be like this:

  • 18:30 - Doors open, networking, food, drinks
  • 19:00 - Talk by Christian
  • 19:45 - Questions & Discussion
  • 20:00 - Networking, Drinks & Food

The venue, food, and drinks are kindly sponsored by 9elements.
