Tech Events in Glasgow

Welcome to the GlasgowJS November Meetup! We'll be meeting on Tuesday 10th November, 18:30.

This month we'll be hearing from Frances Maxwell, who previously gave a talk on building a React Native app in 15 minutes, on publishing and marketing apps: "Getting started is the easy part", with a lightning talk from Claudia Wilson of Waracle on tech recruitment and AI.

We're also on the lookout for a venue and sponsor for this meetup — if you can help host us, please get in touch.

If you would like to speak or volunteer for future events then please get in touch via our speaking and volunteering form, or join our Discord.

If you want to contribute to running costs for the meetup group then you can support us on Patreon.

Monthly meetup for game developers, streamers, journalists, marketeers, and anyone else interested in or working in the games industry.

Come along if you want to talk videogames and game development, if you need to test out a game you're working on or want to give and receive advice on all things related to the making and appreciation of videogames. This is a friendly and inclusive space with the aim of creating a productive community of videogame people in Glasgow.

In December we round out the year with our final Glasgow Cloud Native community meetup.

Kubernetes For The Little Guy: Real Workloads Without a Hyperscaler Budget
We've all seen the hyperscale clusters powering the AI boom, with thousands of nodes, tens of thousands of GPUs, and enough power usage to rival most nations. Plenty of us have a homelab quietly humming away on second-hand enterprise tin or an old laptop. But what about the bit in between? Can a small shop get genuinely useful, genuinely demanding work out of affordable(ish) hardware? And how can we ensure that any compute is shared fairly? At AmberWolf, one modest cluster earns its keep supporting our offensive security capabilities: AI inferencing and agentic workflows, CI runners and payload generation for our internal tooling, and GPU-backed password cracking. None of it is mass-scale, and the budget was a very real driver. Join us for a tour of how we make that work in practice: scheduling GPU jobs so expensive silicon never sits idle, leveraging on-premises compute for nested virtualisation, and keeping inferencing (and the data it touches) inside our own walls instead of someone else's API. We'll discuss times existing technology was or wasn't a great fit, and the things that bit us along the way: GPU scheduling to handle a team's demands, limitations of storage, and where we cheerfully chose pragmatism over purity.

Speakers: Iain Smart & Daniel Wilkinson
