Back from summer vacation? So are we! DevOps na Praia is excited to announce our September 2026 meetup.

DevOps na Praia September/2026 marks our rentrée, and we're doing it alongside good friends: DevOps na Praia 🤝 Cloud Native Porto #11
An evening of platform engineering, data pipelines and developer experience, with time to catch up with the community after the summer break. Made possible with the support of Cleva, who are hosting us, and with the help of synvert xgeeks as an ongoing CNP sponsor. Also a big thank you to Miro for sponsoring the Catering for the evening!

📍 Location: Cleva - Porto
📅 Date: September 24, 2026
⏰ Time: 18:30
Agenda & Talks:

🎤 19:00 - From Airflow 2 to Airflow 3: Migrating 100+ DAGs Without Downtime or Developer Burden
Speaker: Gonçalo Costa - Data and Site Reliability Engineer @ Miro
Abstract: Migrating a production Airflow deployment from version 2 to 3 without disrupting hundreds of DAGs across multiple teams sounds scary (and it is). In this talk I will share how we migrated versions without a big-bang cutover, without weeks of cross-team change requests, and without leaving our pipelines in a broken state.
I'll walk through how we built a compatibility layer to make sure our code runs on both versions during the migration, how we used AI-tooling to orchestrate 400+ DAG changes and how our on-demand ephemeral environments, full k8s deployments deployed for each pull request, helped us experiment and test all the required changes.
Most important of all, I will share what we learned, where we failed and what we would do better next time.

🎤 19:30 - Zero Docker, Zero Kubernetes: The Power of DevBox
Speaker: Carlos Nogueira - Senior Platform Engineer @ Flutter
Abstract: Are you tired of wasting time on environment setup, compatibility issues, or the dreaded 'but it works on my machine' problem? DevBox is the answer to modern development friction. In this session, we will explore what a DevBox truly is and how it allows teams to standardize their environment, ensure consistency from development through production, and achieve maximum velocity. If you want to cut down on setup time and ramp up coding time, this is for you.

🍕 20:00 - Networking, Food & Drinks
Join us at Cleva's offices in Porto to connect with the community, share ideas, and network with Cloud Native and DevOps enthusiasts!

A big thank you to Cleva for opening their doors and hosting this edition, and to synvert xgeeks and Miro for making this evening possible with the amazing caterign that we will have.

Meet top tech companies and teams in Porto and network with professionals!

📍 Location: Devexperts Porto
🎤 Talk: “Patterns of Trust”
👩‍💻 Speaker: Maria “Majo” Castillo, Junior QA Engineer at Devexperts

Porto Tech Connect brings together tech professionals, leaders, and curious minds for an evening of insights, meaningful conversations, and high-quality networking.

This May edition will be hosted at Devexperts Porto and will feature a thought-provoking talk on one of the most underestimated drivers of success in tech: trust.

Quality is built by people — not just processes.

In this session, Maria “Majo” Castillo will explore how trust becomes the invisible framework behind every successful project. Great QAs don’t just find bugs — they recognize the human patterns that shape quality:

• How we listen
• How we communicate
• How we question
• How we respond to uncertainty

When we nurture these patterns, testing becomes connection, feedback becomes growth, and collaboration evolves into shared leadership.

Maria Castillo (Majo) is a Junior QA Engineer at Devexperts.

With a background in mathematics, nearly 10 years of teaching experience, and expertise in customer experience, she brings a deeply human-centered perspective to quality assurance. Her unique mix of logic and empathy makes quality not only structured — but profoundly human.

Porto Tech Connect is designed for meaningful networking.

✔ Meet tech professionals, founders, and team leaders
✔ Exchange ideas and practical insights
✔ Build authentic connections in a curated environment
✔ Expand your professional circle in Porto’s growing tech ecosystem

Expect valuable conversations, inspiring perspectives, and a community that believes leadership, diversity, and AI-driven innovation start with people.

We look forward to welcoming you for an inspiring evening in Porto.

The Build Room

Claude Code. Cowork. Agents. Second brains. Skills, MCPs, automations, and all the half-finished things you've got running on your laptop right now.

The Build Room is a three hour Saturday session in Porto for people already building with AI, not people wondering where to start. We go deep on what we're actually making: how a second brain gets wired together, how agents get dispatched to do real work, how a custom skill turns a vague idea into something that ships.

We start with coffee and quick introductions, then a loose conversation round the room about what everyone's working on. From there someone takes the floor to show what they've been building, screen up, no polish required, and we dig into it together. The rest of the session is whatever the room needs - problems, blockers, half-working ideas, the thing that's been broken all week.

When you book a place you can ask for a slot to present, or tell us what you're stuck on, so the session gets shaped around what's actually in the room.

It's not a course and there's no curriculum. Some people in the room will know more than whoever's presenting, and that's the whole point.

Bring a laptop, bring something you're building, bring the thing that's been broken for a week

Conferência com intuito de discutir como AI como afeta a vida profissional, em áreas como empregabilidade, saúde e a aprendizagem.

A BitCommit é uma mini-conferência, destinada a profissionais da área da informática, que tem o intuito de discutir IA na perspetiva de como nos afeta na vida profissional, em áreas como empregabilidade, saúde mental, aprendizagem e muitas outras. Neste evento, queremos desviar-nos da parte técnica e focar naquilo que consideramos mais importante: as pessoas! Por isso, a AlumniEI (Associação de Antigos Alunos de Engenharia Informática da FEUP) preparou este evento para criar um espaço para se discutir os desafios que enfrentamos nestas áreas e como podemos superá-los.
