Bootstrapping vs. Fremdkapital Funding gilt oft als das ultimative Ziel für Startups, dabei ist Kapital kein Erfolgssiegel, sondern ein Werkzeug. In diesem Impulsvortrag geht es darum, wann externe Finanzierung wirklich sinnvoll ist, wann Bootstrapping die stärkere Strategie sein kann und welche typischen Denkfehler Gründer:innen bei dem Thema machen. 🤝 **Austausch auf Augenhöhe:** In einer entspannten Atmosphäre kannst du dich mit Gleichgesinnten vernetzen, Ideen austauschen und von den Erfahrungen anderer profitieren. 🍹 **Gechillte Atmosphäre:** Uns ist wichtig, dass du dich wohlfühlst und Spaß hast. Wenn sich daraus ein neuer Geschäftskontakt oder eine Zusammenarbeit entwickelt – umso besser! 🚀 **Unser Ziel:** Wir möchten dir nicht nur die Möglichkeit bieten, neue Leute kennenzulernen und echte Verbindungen zu schaffen, sondern dir auch praktische Werkzeuge an die Hand geben, die deinen unternehmerischen Alltag erleichtern und dein Business optimieren.

Bootstrapping vs. External Funding Funding is often seen as the ultimate goal for startups, but capital isn't a guarantee of success—it's a tool.

How honest are we really — with others and with ourselves? Is there something as too much honesty? What are the pros and cons of being honest? How honest do you think you are?

Expect a safe and welcoming atmosphere, light humor, practical communication tools, and space for both speaking and silent reflection. Come as you are — no skills or prior experience needed. \*\*\* If you RSVPed and your plans change, please update your status, to give others from the waitlist a chance.

**IMPORTANT UPDATE:** Due to unexpected sick leaves within our speaker and organizing team, **we have to postpone this MeetUp to June 25th**. Everything else stays the same. **@everyone: Please review and update your RSVP status accordingly.** \-\-\- We'd like to invite you to our fourth installation for the Cloud Native Vienna MeetUps in 2026! Again we'll have two deep-dive talks and time to network and chat with friends in the Viennese cloud native community. A big thank you to **WKO Inhouse GmbH** for hosting us and providing food and drinks! **Agenda:** * **17:30:** Doors Open & Networking * **17:55:** Welcome from the Organizers * **18:00:** **Talk 1:** Rober Klonner (WKO Inhouse GmbH) **GitOps Visibility: Precise Argo CD diffs on every Pull Request** * **18:45:** Break & Refreshments * **19:00:** **Talk 2:** Thomas Hanser (Untis GmbH) **The Untis Platform Engineering Journey: GitOps Multi-Tenancy with Flux, GitLab, and Friends** * **19:45:** Open Networking We look forward to seeing you there! \-\-\- **Talks:** Rober Klonner (WKO Inhouse Gmbh) **GitOps Visibility: Precise Argo CD diffs on every Pull Request** Today's GitOps deployments are generated through layers of templating - Helm charts, Kustomize or ApplicationSets. Modifying these abstractions and trying to mentally render the output is error-prone. This talk introduces a method that uses Argo CD itself to render accurate diffs of Helm charts and Kustomize overlays between branches and posts the result directly on your pull request. We'll walk through a production setup using the Argo CD Operator, Argo CD Diff Preview, and GitLab CI, optimized for performance, minimal maintenance, and security. Through real-world use cases, we'll show what issues this approach catches before they hit your cluster. Thomas Hanser (Untis GmbH) **The Untis Platform Engineering Journey: GitOps Multi-Tenancy with Flux, GitLab, and Friends** Operating in the European education sector means juggling compliance, student privacy and massive traffic spikes when school starts. Historically at Untis, keeping this running in production was the burden of a single operations team. This session details our transition to an automated, multi-tenant GitOps platform managing a fleet of internal and external Kubernetes clusters. We share our approach of building a platform that gives product teams actual autonomy without compromising on security or control: * **Structured Multi-Tenancy:** Mapping GitLab groups to namespaced tenant projects using Flux’s multi-tenant model. * **Secure Access Control:** Leveraging the GitLab Agent for Kubernetes to enable scoped, declarative self-service cluster access. * **Flexible Delivery Models:** Supporting multiple decentralized deployment strategies by balancing governance and freedom for both internal teams and external guest environments. Prepare for an honest demonstration of challenges like managing secret lifecycles across a growing fleet, moving from script-driven tenant onboarding to true automated self-service, and wrestling with the classic "chicken-and-egg" problems of bootstrapping Flux and handling GitOps release management.

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** *Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code* Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD

We have referrals for you! All visitors are welcome. Any questions contact [pmarchio@farmersagent.com](mailto:pmarchio@farmersagent.com)

Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat. But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity. We’ll cover: * What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot * How agents break tasks into steps * Where agents are genuinely useful today * Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review * How to design simple AI workflows for your own work * A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it? How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of.
