Hi everyone,

Here is a very quick update for you:

✨ We’ll be releasing photos from Data Sanity Talks Belgrade later this week. Talk recordings will follow in the coming weeks.

🗓 As for our future events: we’ve been quite overwhelmed with preparations for the last one, so we’ll take a bit of time to rest. Still, we’re planning 1-2 small and cozy events later this year — and maybe something bigger in February 2026.

So stay tuned — and stay sane!

P.S. We are about to announce two events in December — a seminar in Novi Sad and a workshop in Belgrade. Stay tuned!

🚀 One Seminar — Two Topics to dive in with Vadim Opolski (Senior Data Engineer @ DXC)!

📍 Novi Sad, Startit Centar
🗓 December 13, Saturday | 11:00 - 13:00
✒️ Register here! (free)

​At this seminar, Vadim will guide us through two interconnected storylines, each uncovering a different side of modern engineering:

​⚡️ Topic 1 — Architecture Problems and Solutions in Streaming AI Pipelines
Vadim will break down a production-grade streaming architecture for monitoring text, photos, and video using Spark and Kafka — highlighting pitfalls, design decisions, and practical solutions.

​⚡️Topic 2 — From TDD to SDD with AI Agents We’ll explore how Test-Driven Development is evolving into Spec-Driven Development with AI tools. Together we’ll test agents live, generate specs, create architecture and tests automatically, build a working prototype from scratch.

​For those who want to try everything live during the session, please make sure you have:
1. ​Any console-based AI agent installed (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot).
2. ​The SDD tool spec-kit: https://github.com/github/spec-kit.

​One seminar, two topics — both hands-on and packed with insights!

ℹ️ Novi Sad | Dec 13 | Free registration
