The San Francisco Bay Area Tech Community
Welcome to SFBayAreaTechies.com! We are an online community for anyone working in Technology and living in the San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley.
We arrange and get together for tech talks, get together to form study groups or simply network online with like minded people.
Welcome to our community. We all chat at work using slack now wouldn’t it be nice to chat with other people working in Tech who are based the San Francisco Bay area also on slack or discord?
Join in on the conversation and tell everyone you know about our slack and discord communities and lets have some fun.
SF Scala
SF Scala is a group for functional programmers who use Scala to dominate the world. We build APIs, Big Data flows, and startups powered by Scala. We do more with less people and less resoucres due to Scala’s incredible power. We meet to discuss best practices and how the technology is being used successfully by organizations.
SF Scala covers San Francisco, and events are coordinated with , which covers the peninsula and south bay.

SF Spark and Friends
This is a developer-centric meetup focused on Apache Spark, Apache Flink, Apache Kafka, Apache Mesos, related Typesafe and Twitter OSS stacks, and broader distributed Data Science and Machine Learning. We’re open to all OSS developers, vendors, consultants, and startups both using the tools and building or supporting them, attending, presenting, and organizing.
How it may be complementary to the original Spark Users, now Bay Area Spark Meetup: Spark in its end-to-end ecosystem – Mesos, Akka, Kafka, Cassandra, etc., with focus on what works for the final goals of the whole pipeline. We will teach you how to use Scala for Spark to make you more effective, and consider devops options so you can get to production faster. We’ll invite projects relevant to or inspired by Apache Spark, such as Apache Storm, Apache Flink, and others, and will be focused on putting together useful OSS as a system.

Bay Area Ai
We are a group of startup engineers, research scientists, computational linguists, mathematicians, philosophers, and others interested in understanding the meaning of text, reasoning, and human intent through technology. We want to apply our understanding to building new businesses and improving overall human experience in the modern connected world.
This is a technical AI meetup: we build systems with Machine Learning on top of Data Pipelines, and concern ourselves with the stuff we can try in open source, learn, improve, and model human behavior in industry for practical results.
