DevOps Amsterdam's first meetup after a break, hosted at ING's Cedar building near Bijlmer Arena station. Three 30-minute talks: Nikhil Gupta on an AIOps design that prepares incident context for an AI agent, Anna Kosek on 23 ways the platform team at RTL Netherlands uses AI agents, and Michael Coté on seven ways to fail at building an internal developer platform. Doors and food from 17:30, talks from 18:30, drinks until 21:00. The organisers are also working towards DevOpsDays Amsterdam 2027 and say more news is coming. Why go: platform teams talking about what went wrong as well as what worked, with food included. Best for SREs, platform engineers and DevOps leads.

The Q4 Amsterdam edition of SREday: four parallel tracks of site-reliability and observability talks, hosted in ING's Cedar building in Amsterdam Zuidoost. 09:30 to 18:00 on 2 November, across a main room, an upstairs room and two meeting rooms. The programme opens with an ING keynote on SRE inside the bank, then Peter Marshall of Imply on why agentic observability needs a different storage and compute engine, and Lewis Isaac of Coralogix on measuring whether AI coding agents actually make delivery teams more effective. Much of the day is about operating systems that AI agents are now writing and investigating. Paid; registration through the SREday site. Why go: observability events are usually vendor-led, and this one has practitioners from a large bank and several platform companies arguing about the same problem in the same room. Best for SREs, platform engineers and anyone running production inside a regulated business.

The Amsterdam Java User Group's autumn meetup, hosted in ING's Cedar building on Bijlmerdreef: four talks on security culture, AI on the JVM and keeping language models alive in production. Doors and food 17:30, talks from 18:00. Sarah Gruneisen on when silence becomes a security vulnerability, built around a five-layer model that starts with human safety rather than tooling; Zoran Sevarac on AI in Java for the financial industry; Hossein Kazemi on building durable AI workflows for regulated work; Iudzhin Uord on an LLM pipeline that survived two years in production. Free. Why go: four substantial talks is a long programme for a user group, and three of them are about running this in regulated production rather than prototyping it. Best for JVM engineers and platform teams in finance.

PRMIA's Dutch chapter takes on AI risk management inside financial institutions, hosted at ING's Cedar building. The risk-professional framing makes this more concrete than most AI-governance panels — model validation, third-party model risk and what supervisors are actually asking for. Relevant if you work in or sell into Dutch financial services.
