Amsterdam JUG Meetup at Metafactory

The Amsterdam Java User Group's November meetup, hosted at MetaFactory near Westerpark, with three talks and the usual food, drinks and networking from 18:00. Ricky van Rijn (MetaFactory) on building an in-house AI agent orchestrator with Embabel, Skills and spec files, and how a visual dashboard for agents and tasks reshaped who does what on the team. Makan Sepehrifar (Productboard) on "Capability Mesh", an architecture that coordinates agents by capability rather than endpoint, carrying the service-mesh ideas of discoverability and observability into the agentic era. Ana-Maria Mihalceanu (Oracle) on readying Java cryptography for the quantum era, with a hands-on look at post-quantum hybrid key exchange in TLS 1.3. Free, register through Meetup. Why go: one of the city's longest-running and best-attended JVM communities, and this edition lands squarely on the agentic-AI problems Java teams are hitting in production. Best for backend and platform engineers working on the JVM.
