Wir bringen dieses neue Meetup zu euch, bei dem wir uns das Konstruktionsprogramm "Onshape" (https://www.onshape.com/en/) ansehen. In den ersten Terminen wird Gerhard uns eine Einführung geben. In weiteren Schritten werden wir uns darüber austauschen.

Do you love to talk about books, and you want to practice your English? Perhaps your German isn't so good, but you are itching to share a great book you read with others. Come join the new Bookclub in English! Join our maiden voyage! Our first book selection is "The Shipping News" by Annie Proulx. I hope you love this book! Tell us all about it on our 13th April 2026 meeting! We meet on the second Monday of each month in a positive and welcoming space in the Chur Library: Stadtbibliothek Chur Grabenstrasse 28 7000 Chur After a brief round of introductions, we review and discuss the selected book of the month, in English! What did you think of the writing style? Did the author deliver a hidden message? Were you surprised to identify strongly with one of the characters? Let's talk about it. The discussion will be gently moderated to keep participants engaged and focused, to ensure a break, and to keep the meeting between 90 and 120 minutes, depending on the density of the book under discussion. As the discussion winds down, time is allotted for participants to propose and select next month's book. Perhaps the preceding discussion inspired you to recommend a relevant follow-up book. Or you would like to mix it up and switch to different genre, or perhaps to a lighter book of short stories, or poetry, or manga. Once the participants select the next book, they may purchase it at a 10% discount at Schuler Bücher.

**Hey fellow AWS enthusiasts! ✨** This April we welcome **[Philipp Hoyer](https://www.linkedin.com/in/philipp-hoyer-621555174/)**, Lead Engineer at Rackspace Technology. He'll walk us through a journey of AWS' popular containerization services Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS running on Fargate by discussing which fits best for which use case, where EKS can make you go nuts and when ECS might shines brighter - or vice versa. **📆 Tonight's Agenda** 19:00 - Welcoming **19:15 - Talk by Phillip** 20:15 - Networking Thanks to our friends at **[CodeCam:N](https://www.codecamp-n.com/)** who open their offices for us and sponsor food and drinks for this evening. Looking forward to seeing you 👋🏻 Nora & Frank \-\-\- The talk ⤵️ **An AWS Container Journey - The Good, The Bad and The Ugly featuring ECS and EKS** EKS on Fargate promises fully managed Kubernetes with zero node management—but the reality is often more complex than expected. This talk explores the journey of building a production workload on EKS Fargate, starting with the initial motivations and architectural decisions. It uncovers three non-obvious pitfalls that only surface during real-world implementation, including challenges with load balancing, EFS integration, and logging. For each case, the underlying issues and the required workarounds are dissected to reveal the hidden operational complexity behind the “serverless” promise. Based on these insights, the talk takes a critical look at whether ECS on Fargate would have been the simpler alternative. It provides a concise overview of ECS, highlights its own limitations, and delivers a direct comparison between ECS and EKS. The session concludes with clear, experience-driven guidance on when to choose which service—helping teams avoid costly assumptions and make better architectural decisions in AWS container environments. The speaker⤵️ Philipp is a Lead Engineer at Rackspace Technology who enjoys turning complex cloud architectures into solutions that actually work in practice. He started in software development, moved through the DevOps world of pipelines, containers, and Kubernetes, and eventually specialized in AWS. He has built and operated cloud solutions ranging from big data and streaming platforms to containerized and serverless workloads. With experience in both insurance and automotive, his focus today is on real-world cloud challenges—especially the ones that don’t show up in the docs.

Nach längerer Frühlingspause sind wir zurück! Der erste Webnesday im 2026 steht an. Der Event findet am 15. April 2026 um 19:00 bei der Liip AG in St. Gallen (im Neumarkt 5, Vadianstrasse 25a) statt. **My Take on Agentic Engineering** \| by [Pascal](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pascaleugster/) von [Inoo](https://inoo.ch/) Von Claude Code über Custom Skills bis zu Multi-Agent-Workflows: Wie ich als Solo-Entwickler meine tägliche Arbeit Schritt für Schritt an KI-Agenten delegiere. Ein ehrlicher Erfahrungsbericht – was heute schon funktioniert, wo die Grenzen liegen und warum Agentic Engineering mehr Mindset-Shift als Tech-Stack ist. **Design Systems from Scratch: Architektur, APIs und Best Practices** \| by [Steven](https://www.linkedin.com/in/steven-imhof/) von [Raiffeisen](https://www.raiffeisen.ch/) Ein Design System ist weit mehr als eine UI-Library – es ist das Fundament für Skalierbarkeit. Wir werfen einen Blick hinter die Fassade: Wie entwirft man langlebige Komponenten-APIs, die flexibel bleiben, ohne zur technischen Last zu werden? Von technischer Disziplin über Conventional Commits bis hin zu Architektur-Prinzipien, die jede Library stabiler machen. Ein Talk über Verantwortung und die Frage, wie man Tools baut, die Entwickler nicht nur nutzen müssen, sondern nutzen wollen. Wie immer habt ihr nach den Talks noch Zeit, eure Ideen und Fragen bei Bier und Pizza im schönen Liip Office zu besprechen. Vielen Dank [Liip AG](https://liip.ch/) fürs Sponsoring! Bitte meldet euch an, sagt es weiter und kommt zahlreich - wir freuen uns auf euch!

Wir haben ein neues Format: Creative Thursday. Jeden letzten Donnerstag im Monat. An diesem Abend kann sich jede(r) kreativ austoben. Wir stellen den Raum und die Materialien, du bringst die Ideen. Ob Malerei, Skizze oder Modellieren – mach was du willst. Komm vorbei, nutz unsere Werkzeuge und arbeite an deinem eigenen Projekt in entspannter Gesellschaft. Wir freuen uns auf das, was entsteht. Nächster Event: 16. April, 18:00 – 22:00 Uhr. Pro Abend max. 8 Teilnehmer möglich. Anmeldung unter oben@superfluid.at Beitrag für Materialien: 20 €

**Integrating LLMs into Existing Applications: The Boring Approach** by [Luca Pircher](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucapircher/) Or: the approach that actually worked for us. This talk covers how we found a use case we felt confident automating, the small bets we made along the way, and what we deliberately chose not to do. We'll share what worked, what didn't, and what we're still figuring out. No rewrites, no hype, no guarantees it'll work for anyone else. **Teaching PHPStan New Tricks** by [Christian Sciberras](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sciberras/) Extend PHPStan with custom rules and extensions to enforce domain-specific constraints and catch what default analysis misses. Make static analysis work for your codebase—not just against it.

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia
