Conversational Contracts: Human‑Centered API Design with DDD and AI #meshup
In many organizations, APIs are treated as technical contracts — neat documentation of endpoints and payloads.
But what if APIs could become something more: living expressions of the business domain itself?
This talk examines how Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and modern API craftsmanship converge to establish a shared language between people and systems. We’ll walk through how techniques like Domain Storytelling, Event Storming, and Context Mapping can lead directly into OpenAPI and AsyncAPI specifications that reflect real domain intent — not just data structures.
**How can LLM help?**
Along the way, we’ll see how Large Language Models (LLMs) can amplify human creativity — helping teams turn visual domain artifacts into executable API contracts while preserving intent and nuance. Instead of replacing design thinking, AI becomes a collaborator in the craftsmanship process.
Through practical examples, we’ll explore how bounded contexts define API boundaries, how ubiquitous language shapes resource and event models, and how contract-first design enables safe, evolutionary change. By the end, you’ll see APIs not merely as integration points, but as living domain boundaries to align architecture, business, and shared understanding.
**About the speaker**
[Annegret](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-annegret-junker-141a99a4/) is Chief Software Architect at codecentric AG in Germany. She has worked in software development for over 30 years. She worked in quite different roles and domains. She is especially interested in DDD, microservices, and everything else. She is working on a large integration project and defines APIs for partners.
**The Sponsor**
This time, the location, food, and drinks are sponsored by [TechTalk](https://techtalk.at/). Thank you very much, TechTalk, you rock! 🎉
This will be a joined event with the Microservices, Reactive and Distributed Systems Vienna Meetup ([https://www.meetup.com/reactive-vienna/](https://www.meetup.com/reactive-vienna/)) and it is enough to register for only one of the meetups. It is not necessary to register for both!
Space is limited, so please register if you want to come. As always, we're very much looking forward to seeing you!

in-and out of Heustadelwasser
Dear friends,
On Heustadelwasser in the Prater wetlands, most of the hike is shadowy, which is more comfortable in summer for humans, as we are.
The animals in this area, don't care about so much and so we hope to see mandarin- and wood-ducks, various butterflys like the silver-washed fritillary and with a lot of luck, we can see the kingfisher flying there.
Please come to our meeting point : **U2 station Stadion at 10:00**
Hoping to meet you again in good health
I look forward to next Wednesday
best regards
Adi
Liebe Freunde,
Am Heustadelwasser in den Praterauen liegt fast der ganze Spazierweg im Schatten, was es für uns Menschen in der Sommerhitze schon viel angenehmer macht.
Die Tiere, die dort leben, kümmern sich weniger um die Temperatur, darum hoffen wir Mandarin-und Brautenten zu sehen, Schmetterlinge wie den Kaisermantel und mit viel Glück den Eisvogel, der vorbeifliegt.
**Unser Treffpunkt ist die U-2 Station Stadion um 10:00**
Ich freue mich euch bei guter Gesundheit wieder zu sehen
Schöne Grüße
Adi

**🎤 TALK:**
**The State of Austrian Agility**
...From Trend to Strategic Capability
*by Tobias Kirchebner*
Agility is no longer just a method — it has become a cultural and strategic capability that defines how successful companies adapt and create value. In this talk, Tobias will present the key findings of the PwC x PMI Study 2025, which examines the state of agility in Austrian companies.
We will look at how organizations understand agility today, the main barriers to scaling it, the rise of hybrid models, and the (still limited) role of AI in agile work.
Attendees will leave with a clear picture of where Austrian companies stand — and what separates those who use Agile methods from those who truly live Agility!

Evolve Shades of Sisterhood (Virtual)
Evolve exists to provide a welcoming place for professional women to create an authentic community, deeper connections, and confident growth through networking and workshop events. No cliques, no judgement.
**Shades of Sisterhood** is a space for women to grow from the inside out through meaningful conversations, personal development, mindset growth, and courageous self-awareness. These gatherings are designed to create deeper connection, expand perspective, and encourage women to become healthier, stronger, and more aligned versions of themselves — both personally and professionally.
Through honest dialogue, shared experiences, and intentional conversations around identity, leadership, confidence, relationships, emotional resilience, and growth, women are invited into a supportive environment where they can learn, reflect, heal, and evolve together.
This is not about perfection, hustle culture, or surface-level positivity. It is about creating a safe space for women to have real conversations, challenge limiting beliefs, grow in self-awareness, and step more confidently into who they were created to become.
At its core, Shades of Sisterhood exists to remind women that growth starts within — and no woman has to navigate that journey alone.
Guests are always welcome. We'd love to meet you!

"Tusk Love" by Thea Guanzon
Come join us to discuss our July pick "Tusk Love" by Thea Guanzon!
Book description:
A merchant’s daughter who yearns for adventure gets more than she bargained for when she falls for a broodingly handsome stranger in this saucy romantasy from the New York Times bestselling author of The Hurricane Wars.
“A true delight of a book! Spicy and heartfelt—this one is a winner all around.”—Katee Robert, author of Neon Gods
As the daughter of an ambitious merchant, Guinevere’s path has been predetermined: marry into a noble house of the Dwendalian Empire, raise her family’s station, and live quietly as a lordling’s obedient wife. But Guinevere longs for a life unbounded by expectations, for freedom and passion and adventure.
Those distant dreams become a sudden reality when her caravan is beset by bandits, leaving her guards slain and Guinevere stranded alone on the dangerous Amber Road. Her only chance of survival is to travel alongside Oskar, the aloof half-orc who saved her during the attack.
Unlike Guinevere, Oskar’s path is not so set in stone. With his mother dead and his apprenticeship abandoned, all that’s left is a long, lonely walk to a land he’s never seen to find family he’s never met. The last thing he needs is a spoiled waif like Guinevere slowing him down—even if the spark between them sizzles with promise.
Despite his cold exterior, Oskar is brave and thoughtful and unlike anyone Guinevere has ever met. And while Guinevere may be sheltered, she brings out a softness in him that he has never dared to feel before. As the flames of their passion grow, they realize that soon they’ll need to choose between their expected destinations or their blossoming romance.
Written by New York Times bestselling author Thea Guanzon at the behest of Critical Role’s Jester Lavorre, Tusk Love brings the most romantic story on Exandrian bookshelves to life.

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
