📅 Week 3: Build Production ready AI backends This event is part of our seven-week AI Engineering program, where we build an end-to-end AI application step by step and present our finished projects during Demo Day in Week 7. This week, we’ll work through the key layers of a modern AI application: Build APIs with FastAPI and validate everything with Pydantic. Containerize with Docker and work with PostgreSQL for storage. Manage configuration and secrets safely with environment variables. Understand MCP servers and how they extend your AI applications. By the end of the 7 week cycle, you should have a working AI application in your own GitHub repository and practical experience with AI pipelines, APIs, databases, retrieval, evaluation and deployment. You are welcome to follow the shared project or apply the weekly concepts to your own project. ✨ Who is this for? This cycle is designed for data scientists, analysts, software developers and Python users interested in moving toward AI engineering. No previous LLM or AI engineering experience is required. However, you should already understand basic Python or be willing to complete some preparation independently. ✨ Who’s hosting? I’m Lindsey, a senior data scientist working on AI systems, causal inference and data products. I’ve worked on machine learning, uplift modelling, fraud detection and production LLM systems. I care about learning through building—and moving beyond AI hype toward applications that actually work. 💻 Bring: Your laptop, your project and your curiosity. ☕ Please grab a coffee or drink from the Octopus Bar to support the business and thank them for providing the space.

🎯 The Problem: Your company has millions invested in Azure Data Factory, Databricks, and Cosmos DB. Now leadership wants Fabric. Do you throw everything away? Migrate? Run both? 💡 This Evening: We'll show you how Fabric integrates WITH your existing Azure investments - not against them. Hybrid architectures are powerful, and OneLake is the bridge. ⏱️ Save yourself: The pain of "rip and replace." Most Fabric success stories COMBINE services, not replace them. What you'll learn: 🌊 OneLake Deep Dive \- The universal data lake behind Fabric\, and WHY OneLake uses ADLS Gen2 protocols \(your existing tools still work\!\) 🏭 Azure Data Factory + Fabric \- When to use ADF vs Fabric Pipelines\, and WHY ADF still makes sense for complex hybrid scenarios ⚡ Azure Databricks + Fabric \- Unity Catalog \+ OneLake integration\, and WHY Databricks users should care about Fabric \(best of both worlds\) 🌍 Cosmos DB Mirroring \- NoSQL data in your analytics platform\, and WHY mirroring beats ETL for Cosmos \(near real\-time\, no code\) Integration Pattern: Azure Services (ADF, Databricks, Cosmos DB, ADLS) ↔ OneLake (Shortcuts) ↔ Fabric (Lakehouse, Warehouse, Eventhouse) Who should attend: Azure architects planning Fabric adoption, Data engineers with existing Azure investments, Teams evaluating Fabric vs Databricks Agenda: 18:30 \- Welcome & Networking 18:45 \- OneLake Deep Dive 19:05 \- ADF \+ Fabric Integration 19:25 \- Databricks \+ OneLake 19:40 \- Cosmos DB Mirroring Demo 19:55 \- Q&A and Discussion 20:00 \- Networking
