**Finally!** The first **PostgreSQL Meetup in Vienna** is coming up! Exciting talks and networking opportunities around PostgreSQL are waiting for you. Meet fellow Vienna-based and international PostgreSQL enthusiasts at this meetup and take the opportunity to connect locally and exchange ideas. **When:** March 18, 2026 — 6:30 PM to 10:00 PM **Where:** [Dotbite](https://dotbite.at/) GmbH, Barichgasse 38/1/6, 1030 Vienna **Preliminary Agenda:** 6:30–7:00 PM — Doors open & registration, networking 7:00–7:15 PM — Welcome & opening 7:15–7:30 PM — Sponsor introduction: Dotbite 7:30–8:05 PM — Stop Guessing, Start Indexing: A Developer’s Guide to Database Indexes (by Rajeet Kumar) 8:05–8:15 PM — Break 8:15–8:50 PM — Is your PostgreSQL truly Cloud(native)? (by Jan Karremans) 8:50–9:00 PM — Break 9:00–9:20 PM — pgcov: Bringing Real Test Coverage to PostgreSQL Code (by Pavlo Golub) 9:20–9:30 PM — Closing 9:30–10:00 PM — Networking & snacks \*\*\*\*\* Session Details \*\*\*\*\* **Speaker 1:** Rajeet Kumar **Title:** Stop Guessing, Start Indexing: A Developer’s Guide to Database Indexes A lot of developers know that indexes make queries faster, but many don’t know why, when an index will actually be used, or why some queries ignore them completely. In this talk, we open that black box. We build a mental model of the B-Tree, the structure used by most databases for their default indexes, and look at its internal layout. Using that model, we’ll explore where B-Tree indexes shine, where they fail, the costs associated with them, and how selectivity affects whether an index is used. Finally, we’ll briefly look at practical techniques such as covering indexes and functional indexes. **Speaker 2:** Jan Karremans **Title:** Is your PostgreSQL truly Cloud(native)? As organizations modernize their platforms with containers, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and microservices, databases are often the last piece to truly transform. Simply lifting and shifting PostgreSQL to a cloud VM does not automatically make it cloud-native. So what does? We’ll cut through the buzzword bingo and examine what they mean for PostgreSQL in real-world environments. Drawing from decades of database experience and years running PostgreSQL in Kubernetes, this session highlights how cloud-native principles such as automation, resilience, observability, and rapid redeployment reshape the way developers and DBAs collaborate. Whether you are a developer, DBA, architect, or decision-maker, this talk will help you assess where you stand today and what it takes to make PostgreSQL a true enabler of speed and innovation in modern cloud environments. **Speaker 3:** Pavlo Golub **Title:** Bringing Real Test Coverage to PostgreSQL Code **Abstract:** https://posetteconf.com/2026/talks/pgcov-bringing-real-test-coverage-to-postgresql-code/ \*\*\*\*\* Snacks and drinks will be provided. A big thank you to [Dotbite](https://dotbite.at/), our main sponsor, for hosting us and providing food and drinks! 🚨 **Attention: Limited spots available!** 🚨

Many people today feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected despite living in a time of unprecedented comfort and opportunity. In this first gathering of the **Vienna Mind & Meaning Circle**, we will explore the psychological and societal factors behind burnout, attention difficulties, and the growing search for meaning in modern life. We will discuss questions such as: * Why do so many people feel chronically exhausted? * Why do so many people feel exhausted despite modern comfort? * Is burnout mainly a personal problem or a societal one? * What role does attention fragmentation (social media, multitasking) play? * How does modern society shape attention and ADHD-like experiences? * Why are so many people today searching for meaning? * What role does meaning and purpose play in psychological well-being? The event will begin with a short introduction followed by an open discussion where everyone is welcome to share ideas and perspectives. This is not a lecture but a **small discussion circle** designed for thoughtful conversation. No background in psychology is required - curiosity is enough. This event will be limited to 13 people and the places will be given in a first come first serve basis.

This is our weekly event! ----------------- Hey Badminton Enthusiasts! This meet-up is for all levels: beginners, intermediates and experts. Everyone is welcome to join, test their skills and have some fun together! The host will reserve courts in advance, that means please only register if you really plan to come (or cancel at least 24 hours before the event starts). The fee for this event is 12€ (for the 2 hours). If you plan on paying in cash, please bring the exact amount as the host might not have any change available. We are meeting at about 10:25 am near the reception by the lounge area (next to the courts). Come a bit earlier so you have time to change into workout/sports clothes. The locker rooms are free to use, but for the men lockers you need a padlock - or you can also take your bag of clothes upstairs to the courts if you do not have a padlock. Also, bring clean indoor sports shoes, your racket and a water bottle with you. There is a drinking fountain available if you need to replenish your bottle. If you do not have a racket, it is possible to rent rackets from the club, if necessary (3€). Sometimes the host or other members have spare rackets - please ask in the comment section below! If you are joining our events for the first time, WELCOME! Let the host know that you are new and they will find a place for you. Don't worry, we are an open and friendly group. We are sure you will develop connections with the people in our community in no time! Without further ado - let's play some badminton and have fun together!

The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA
