What we’re about
Thoughtworks is a global technology consultancy that integrates strategy, design and software engineering - and a community of passionate, purpose-led individuals. We have one mission: We think disruptively to deliver technology to address our clients' toughest challenges, all while seeking to revolutionize the IT industry and create positive social change.
We are intentional about making technology a better place for all. Thoughtworkers are encouraged to stand up, speak up, and advocate for who and what they believe in. We host events and talks tackling intersectionality, discrimination and bias in tech because we believe conversations create understanding and diversity in organizations and thinking.
Here you are free to learn and to share on any platform. Free to feel safe in your own skin. Free to follow your latest curiosity to an unknown place. Free to challenge ideas, assumptions, and solutions - no matter who they belong to (respectfully). Free to experiment and recommend the right tech without bias. Free to change career paths. Free to make technology a better place for all.
We like to share our knowledge and would like to invite you to become part of this meetup group to stay up to date with our latest events - you don't have to be a Thoughtworker to join this community :)
Our venue in Berlin is a barrier free non-smoking area. The toilets are wheelchair accessible.

Wir wollen die Technologiebranche zu einem besseren Ort für alle machen. Wir ermutigen ThoughtworkerInnen, aufzustehen, sich frei zu äußern und dafür einzutreten, an wen und an was sie glauben. Wir veranstalten Events und Vorträge zu Themen wie z.B. Diskriminierung oder Vorurteile in der Technologiebranche, weil wir glauben, dass Konversation Verständnis und Vielfalt schafft.
Als ThoughtworkerIn hast du die Freiheit, auf allen möglichen Wegen und Plattformen zu lernen und das Gelernte mit anderen zu teilen. Du bist frei, du selbst zu sein. Frei, den Themen, die dich begeistern, zu folgen und unbekannte Bereiche oder Tech Stacks zu erkunden. Frei, Ideen, Annahmen und Lösungen in Frage zu stellen – egal zu wem sie gehören. Frei, zu experimentieren. Frei, deinen Weg zu ändern. Frei, die Welt durch Technologie zu einem besseren Ort zu machen.
Wir konzentrieren uns auf die Weiterentwicklung der ganzen Software-Branche. Und wir finden, Wissen sollte man teilen.

See all- EventStorming Part 5 - Collaborative Modeling MeetupRevaler Str. 31, Berlin
This event is a collaboration with our friends from Domain Driven Design Berlin, check out their Meetup page here.
About the evening
After a summer break, we're back to kick off the fall season of our collaborative modeling meetup!
Once again, we're going to practice the "software design" method of event storming. And once again, there is no need to panic. Software design at this level is still a collaborative activity that anyone can participate in, not just engineers (in fact, preferably not just engineers). Think "system design" but we care about all the internals.
As usual, come with energy and enthusiasm to get hands on, and be prepared to handle lots of sticky notes! No prior experience with EventStorming is required, but note that the purpose of this event is more to practice the format than teach it.
If you have a collaborative modeling technique you'd like to explore with this group, please get in touch! We generally meet the first Tuesday of each month.------
Code of Conduct
We adhere to the Berlin Code of Conduct to ensure a welcoming and respectful environment for all participants. The event space operates under largely compatible Thoughtworks Meetups & Events CoC.
Accessibility
The Location is accessible for wheelchair users. This includes the entrance (no steps to get into the location), toilets and the stage. - Data mesh and culture: Engaging your organization in embracing changemobile.de office, Berlin

Talk: ARE YOUR TESTS SLOWING YOU DOWN?
Testing is a Good Thing, right? Especially automated testing. But "Good things come to those who wait" is not something that's going to appeal to the busy developer. You want results, and you want them now. You're in The Zone working on a problem, and the last thing you want is to break your flow wrestling with your testing framework or waiting for the tests to finish running.More code means more tests. More coverage means more tests. More tests mean more time. Time that you want to spend being productive, creative, innovative. How can you balance the need for quality with the need for speed?
In this talk, Trisha will identify issues that slow down developers when writing, running and debugging tests, and look at tools that can help developers with each of these problems. There will be live coding, analysis of social media poll results, an overview of solutions in this space, "best practice" recommendations, and machine learning will be mentioned at some point.
Sneak peek into our agenda:
- Evaluating LLM systems: What does it mean in practice? - Aili Asikainen and Oege Dijk
- Container Security - Implementing zero trust & principle of least privilege in containers inside K8s - Amit Dube
- Building Data Mesh on Databricks and Azure for a large manufacturing company - Dominika Makuch and Rieke Heinze
