Postgres Tuning in the Age of AI: Context Is Everything

Wed, Sep 16, 10:00 PM

From NYC Postgres

4.7

Can AI tune a Postgres query? Give it only the SQL and you'll probably get some plausible-sounding advice. Give it the same context an experienced Postgres engineer would use, and things get much more interesting. In this talk, we'll first look at the Postgres performance, logging, and configuration data that's most useful for query tuning. We'll discuss why collecting the right information matters whether the consumer is a human or an AI, along with safeguards that help us use that information effectively and safely. Then we'll put it to the test. We'll work through a query performance problem by hand, examining the questions and evidence that guide the tuning process, before giving an AI access to that same environment through the pganalyze MCP server. Along the way, we'll explore how MCP can change the query tuning lifecycle, from finding the right problem to validating the fix, and which parts still require the same careful thinking they always have. **Speaker:** Ryan Booz Ryan is a Solutions Engineer at pganalyze focusing on PostgreSQL. Ryan has worked as a PostgreSQL advocate, developer, DBA and product manager for more than 25 years, primarily working with time-series data on PostgreSQL and the Microsoft Data Platform. Ryan is a long-time DBA and developer, starting with MySQL and Postgres in the late 90s. He spent more than 15 years working with SQL Server before returning to PostgreSQL full-time in 2018. He’s at the top of his game when he's learning something new about the data platform or teaching others about the technology he loves.

[Tuesday] Discussion: Consent

Tue, Sep 15, 11:00 PM

From New York Interesting Conversations

4.7

**Join our discord:** [https://discord.gg/sXmd8MRvmr](https://discord.gg/sXmd8MRvmr) **Consent** is about respecting each person's right to make decisions about their own body, boundaries, time, and participation. While it is often discussed in the context of physical or sexual relationships, consent also plays an important role in everyday interactions—such as sharing personal information, offering advice, physical affection, or making decisions that affect others. It involves communication, mutual understanding, and the freedom to say yes or no without pressure. In this discussion, we'll explore how consent shows up in different parts of life, what makes it meaningful, and how we can better respect one another's boundaries. 1. What does consent mean to you beyond simply saying “yes” or “no”? 2. In what areas of everyday life do we often overlook the importance of consent? 3. What makes it easier—or harder—for someone to say no? 4. How can we tell the difference between genuine agreement and agreement influenced by pressure or expectations? 5. What role does communication play in creating meaningful consent? 6. Can consent be assumed in close relationships, or should it always be actively considered? 7. How do power dynamics affect a person's ability to freely give or refuse consent? 8. How should we respond when someone changes their mind after previously agreeing to something? 9. Have ideas about consent changed over time? If so, what has influenced that change? 10. How can we respect someone's boundaries without taking their boundaries personally? 11. What can we do to create environments where people feel comfortable expressing what they do and don't want? These are just some of the questions we will discuss during our meetup. No preparation needed, just bring yourself and a willingness to listen and share your thoughts. The meetup will be structured in a way to promote small group discussion so everyone has a chance to listen, be heard, and really dive into the discussion. \- \- \- \- \- \#\# How our discussions work * **Each meetup has a clear topic and guiding questions.** We stay with them so everyone gets the conversation they came for. * **This is a reflective discussion, not a debate.** The focus is understanding and exploration rather than persuasion or winning an argument. * **We speak from personal experience.** Sharing is encouraged; judging, correcting, or speaking over others isn’t. * **We move one question at a time.** Related thoughts are welcome when they support the question we’re exploring. * **We share the space.** Everyone has a chance to speak, and no one is expected to dominate or perform. * **We listen generously.** Curiosity, presence, and openness matter more than certainty. * **This is a non-political, non-outrage space.** The emphasis is on reflection and connection, not debate or escalation. We'll arrange tables of 6 participants each. When you arrive, please gather at the main atrium - we'll be at the tables between big windows and the palm trees. Once enough people are assembled, I'll escort each group of 6 to their table to begin the discussion, and continue doing this as more participants arrive. Each table will receive a sheet containing the topic description and discussion questions. Feel free to take a photo or refer to the event page to have your own copy handy. The official event time is from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm, but some of us stay longer, transitioning into informal conversations beyond the topic. You're welcome to join any other ongoing discussions once your initial group wraps up and members start leaving.

**Tuesday, September 15th, 6:00-8:00 PM EDT** **Presentation & Discussion** **Twenty Years of Service Design** Roberta Tassi, in conversation with Antonio Cesare Iodarola and Sara Manzini **Event Description** *“For twenty years, every single day, I’ve been either explaining to somebody what service design is, or trying to prove to a client the value of the design approach, and today more so.”* This event is a reflection on the service design value and practice, and how it has been changing and adapting to the evolutions in the broader context. From advocating for the adoption of human-centered approaches, to accompanying digital transformation processes and, more recently, supporting AI transitions: what has changed and what has not? What are the core competences to protect, strengthen and even expand? And how does our service design work translate into impact on the communities, companies and businesses we serve? The talk will feature stories from past projects and introduce emerging frameworks and models, to set the ground for an open conversation and exchange of reflections. The hour will end with a short workshop session, focused on take-aways related to the business impact of service design. **About Our Speakers** **Roberta Tassi** Service Design pioneer, author of [servicedesigntools.org](http://servicedesigntools.org/) (published in 2009), founder and director of oblo (hyper-specialized service design agency based in Milan, Italy), former Head of Service Design for the Digital Transformation Team of the Italian Government (2017-2020) and Principal Designer at frog (2010-2016). **Sara Manzini** Service Design Lead in Wealth Management at Chase and former Design Lead at frog, Sara designs services in highly regulated environments, where she connects experiences across products, channels, and teams and helps turn strategy into products. **Agenda** * 6:00-6:30PM Meet & mingle over food and drink * 6:30-7:30PM Presentation * 7:30-8:00PM Discussion & Networking * 8:00PM - ?

Superplane & Elastic: AI Agents That Build & Ship Code

Thu, Sep 17, 10:00 PM

From Elastic New York City User Group

4.6

Software factories are here. AI agents write code, open PRs, run tests, deploy to production, and respond to incidents - all without waiting for a human to click a button. Join SuperPlane and Elastic for an evening where engineering leaders, platform teams, and SREs explore what it actually takes to run a software factory: how agents ship code, how Elastic monitors what happens in production, and how SuperPlane orchestrates the full loop from commit → deploy to incident to fix. SuperPlane is the agent orchestrator that turns your tools into a software factory. Elastic is the observability engine that tells you what's happening inside it. This is an unconference, you bring the topics, we bring the structure (and drinks). Come with opinions about how far you'd let agents go. 📅 **Date:** Thursday, September 17th from 6:00-9:00 PM 📍 **Location:** Elastic NYC Office 1250 Broadway, Floor 16, Training Room New York, NY 10001 **Some topics we would discuss:** * How much autonomy should agents have in production? * Building the feedback loop: deploy → observe → respond → learn * Agents that fix what agents broke - is that a loop or a spiral? * What does "human in the loop" actually mean when agents ship 10x faster? * Observability as the control plane for your software factory * From Kibana alert to automated rollback - what's your threshold? * The trust problem: when do you stop reviewing agent PRs? **Format:** * Topics proposed by attendees at the beginning * Sessions run in small groups (\~5-7 people) * 30 minutes of facilitated discussion per session * Open participation and movement between sessions encouraged 📝 **Schedule:** * 6:00 – 6:30 PM → Arrival, food & drinks, networking * 6:30 – 6:50 PM → Welcome + software factories w/ Elastic & Superplane * 6:50 – 7:00 PM → Topic proposals & voting * 7:00 – 7:30 PM → Session 1 * 7:30 – 7:40 PM → Short break * 7:40 – 8:10 PM → Session 2 * 8:10 – 8:20 PM → Short break * 8:20 – 8:50 PM → Session 3 * 8:50 – 9:00 PM → Wrap-up & key takeaways * 9:00 PM → Closing **🎟️ Coming up: ElasticON NYC** Join us October 8 for a free day of hands-on learning, expert insights, and real-world AI, search, observability, and security sessions. **[Register for free](https://www.elastic.co/events/elasticon/new-york-city?utm_source=luma&utm_medium=event_page&utm_campaign=elasticon_nyc_2026&utm_content=superplane_meetup_sep17)**[.](https://www.elastic.co/events/elasticon/new-york-city?utm_source=luma&utm_medium=event_page&utm_campaign=elasticon_nyc_2026&utm_content=superplane_meetup_sep17) **About SuperPlane** **[SuperPlane](http://spweb)** Software Factory platform that transforms software delivery from a collection of manual tasks into an orchestrated, AI-powered production system. It coordinates AI agents, developers, infrastructure, and operational tools to build, test, deploy, and maintain software with speed, consistency, and governance. **About Elastic** **[Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/?utm_source=luma)** is the observability stack behind high-velocity engineering teams. With Elasticsearch, Kibana, and the rest of Elastic Stack, engineers, SREs and platform engineers get real-time visibility into logs, metrics, traces, and security events correlated in one place, not scattered across tools. As release cadence increases with the adoption of software factories, Elastic keeps you in control of what's running and why.

Building a Model Evaluation Practice for Production AI

Thu, Sep 24, 8:30 PM

From AWS New York | Official Meetup

4.6

Most teams pick an AI model the same way they pick a coffee machine - the demo looks good or they hear about it from someone, so they assume it works. But in production, evaluation decisions directly impact cost, latency, accuracy, and user trust. Without a structured eval practice, you're flying blind when a model regresses, or a new release claims to be better. This session gives you a framework for evaluating LLMs against *your* workloads and operationalizing evaluation as a continuous practice, not a one-time exercise. **What we'll cover:** * Why standard benchmarks are often misleading for enterprise use cases * Building a golden dataset: how to sample, label, and version evaluation sets from real production traffic * Key metrics beyond accuracy: hallucination rates, precision/recall tradeoffs, cost-per-correct-answer, and latency percentiles * Running evals at scale: open-source tools (Ragas, PromptFoo, LangSmith) and using Amazon Bedrock Model Evaluation * Setting a model evaluation gate: how to enforce a promotion threshold before any model goes to production * Demo: running a side-by-side eval across two models on a real classification task **High level schedule:** * 4:30 - 4:45: Arrivals * 4:45 - 5:45: Presentation & Demo * 5:45 - 6:00: Q&A * 6:00 - 6:30: Networking **Important instructions** * Event starts at 4:45 pm EST, but please allow at least 15 minutes for security to process registration * Please ensure that your meetup profile has your **full name.** Both first and last name are required and we will not be able to register attendees with just abbreviations or incomplete names. * There is an optional networking and Q&A event at the end of the meetup

No Free Lunches: Why Physics Still Matters in an AI-Driven Drug Discovery World

Wed, Sep 16, 10:00 PM

From New York Area Group for Informatics and Modeling (NYAGIM)

4.9

AI is everywhere in drug discovery — platform companies promise it can replace a considerable share of the discovery process, and established discovery companies promise more molecules, faster. Much of this is genuinely intriguing, and some of it will win. But every AI approach is fundamentally bounded by the training data it learns from, and that boundary quietly limits scope in ways that are easy to overlook in the current enthusiasm. Physics-based methods have never promised something for nothing — but they remain essential for filling exactly the gaps that data-driven approaches cannot see. 👉 **Join NYAGIM for our 2026 Q3 event** to connect with the local computational chemistry and informatics community. **David Pearlman Biography** David Pearlman is a computational chemist with over forty years of experience in academic research, drug discovery, and software development. He earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry from UC Berkeley, completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Peter Kollman's lab at UCSF, and became a founding employee at Biosym Technologies, where he led development of the first commercialized structure-based drug design platform. He later worked at Vertex Pharmaceuticals and built and led the BioLuminate biologics software platform at Schrödinger, Inc. Dr. Pearlman was also a first author and principal developer of the widely used AMBER program, publishing extensively on free energy perturbation, ligand scoring, and protein modeling. He writes about drug discovery and computation at [ahalflife.substack.com](http://ahalflife.substack.com/), and is currently Vice President of Product at QSimulate, advancing GPU-accelerated QM/MM integration into production-scale drug discovery workflows.
