Über uns
Welcome to our Community!
Our Cloud Native Night focuses on designing cloud platforms and developing distributed applications with the goal of enabling fault-tolerant, elastically scaling, and agile products. We are deeply engaged in the entire Cloud Native landscape, utilizing tools like Kubernetes and others, and prefer to build applications using Java and Go. Additionally, we explore other software topics, e.g. Security, Artificial Intelligence & Data Engineering to deepen our understanding of the broader challenges in the world of software development.
Hosted by QAware
QAware is an IT consulting and software development company for individual software. Our core competencies include cloud computing, big data and applied AI. We believe that real progress in software development comes from teamwork, continuous expert exchange and ongoing education.
Our goal is to unite people with a love for digital design, software architecture, software quality and coding. Therefore we want to build and maintain a community in which we discuss and shape the future of software together. We are happy to exchange ideas with other experts who share our love for code! You are more than welcome to join our community and engage with us.

10 Years of Cloud-Native Evolution and the Emergence of AI
·HybridQAware Mainz, Rheinstraße 4 C, Eingang an der Templerstraße, Mainz, ak, DETen years ago, we started the Cloud Native Night Meetup in Munich and Mainz with a simple idea: to explore, discuss, and better understand emerging technologies together with the community.
Our 10th anniversary is an opportunity to reflect on the journey from containers and Kubernetes to platform engineering, cloud-native architectures, and now AI-native applications - and to discuss what the next decade of software engineering might look like.
We'll have a varied program for you. From a panel discussion about the Cloud Native journey and beyond to a Lightning talk about AI developer experience and a keynote about facilitating the Agentic Enterprise.We are excited to celebrate this achievement with you by holding a hybrid event in Mainz and Munich simultaneously.
THIS MEETUP will be in ENGLISH and HYBRID. | Zoom Link

Panel Discussion: Beyond Cloud-Native: Rethinking Infrastructure and Platforms for the AI Era
To mark the 10th anniversary of Cloud Native Night, we’re not planning a talk, but a conversation: an honest look back with a few people who have experienced and shaped the community and the cloud-native world over the years. The common thread is the journey — from the early days (when Docker was new, Kubernetes had only just emerged, and ‘cloud-native’ was barely a term) to the present day, where platform engineering, developer experience and now also AI and agent-based approaches are shaping the discussion. And, of course, a look ahead: what lies in store for the next ten years? The aim is a discussion that is entertaining, personal and perhaps even self-critical.
Participants:
- Mario-Leander Reimer (CTO, QAware)
- Nico Meisenzahl (COO, white duck)
- Max Körbächer (CEO, Liquid Reply)
- Matthias Haeussler (Vice President Consulting Expert, CGI)
- Sebastian Kister (Chief AI Architect & Acting Lead of Group Open Source Program Office, Volkswagen Group, assigned by Audi AG)From AI-frustrated to AI-native – How Amazon and other industry leaders made AI coding work - Robert Hoffmann, (Senior Solutions Architect, AWS)
How did Amazon and other companies go from AI frustration in 2024 to AI-native development in 2026 and beyond? This article dives into the learnable skills and technical AI platform capabilities that help your organization go from AI slop to reliable, high-quality output. Specifically, we discuss:
- How a frustrated principal engineer at Amazon invented the precursor to spec-driven development to keep AI coding on track
- Amazon’s approach to build AI fluency across the company in a scalable way
- How the personal AI agent approach shapes your AI platform and enterprise architecture
- Why high-touch AI pair programming and autonomous software factories are not just maturity levels but different tools for different jobs
- How AI amplifies the good and bad parts of your developer experience
The Agentic Enterprise: Architecting People, AI and Sovereignty - Sebastian Kister (Chief AI Architect & Acting Lead of Group Open Source Program Office, Volkswagen Group assigned by Audi AG)
Enterprises are rushing to build "Agentic AI," but they are falling into a dangerous trap: treating human transformation, platform engineering, and data sovereignty as isolated silos. Join Sebastian Kister to discover how to avoid the "Automation Paradox," architect a zero-hallucination predictability engine, and secure your data against the hidden sovereignty threats of modern AI plumbing.
