ViennaJS March Meetup
ViennaJS March Meetup
Bring your JS interest and a good vibe! Everybody is welcome & feel free to share this invitation! **Talks and info:** All details: [https://viennajs.org/en/meetup/viennajs-march-2026](https://viennajs.org/en/meetup/vienna-js-march-2026) **Timetable:** * 18:00: Gathering, food & drinks * \~18:45 - 19:00: Start of the first talk **Talks:** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 🗣️ Daniil Rabizo ▶️ AI Is Just JavaScript: Building Powerful Agents with Google ADK & RAG Most valuable company data is private: documents, presentations, internal notes, yet AI tools can’t use it out of the box. In this talk, we’ll show how easy it is to build an AI agent that can securely read Google Drive data and answer real business questions using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Through a simple JavaScript demo with Google ADK and Vertex AI, you’ll see how private docs and slides can power use cases like internal knowledge assistants, onboarding bots, management Q&A, and support automation without complex ML infrastructure. This session is for developers, founders, and tech leaders who want practical, production-ready AI use cases and a clear understanding of how to turn existing company data into useful AI agents. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 🗣️ Priscila Oliveira ▶️ Comprehend First, Code Later: The AI Skill I Rely On Daily Literally everyone is vibe coding. It's about letting AI write, commit, and ship code you never even read. Perfect for prototypes and side projects - no argument there. But what happens when you're working in a million-line codebase where you need to understand before you change? Quality code still matters. It is widely stated in the software development community that developers spend 70–80% of their time reading and understanding existing code, not writing new code. We now have an incredibly smart tool - so why not use it for exactly that? So I went straight to the data - 239 of my own messages from daily work at Sentry. What I found flipped the narrative: my #1 use of AI wasn't generation. It was comprehension. Whether navigating unfamiliar code or reconstructing past decisions from commit history - AI became the teammate who never gets tired of my questions. In this talk, I'll show you the loop that actually makes me productive in a large, complex codebase: understand first, then say 'go ahead'. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **🗣️Want to give a Talk?** ▶️ [https://viennajs.org/en/participate/give-a-talk](https://viennajs.org/en/participate/give-a-talk) **Location:** Sentry Jakov-Lind-Straße 5, 4. OG (Entrance next to Max & Benito) 1020 Wien **Sponsors:** 🙏 Sentry Sentry is the market leader in the error monitoring space and like many startups with engineer founders, Sentry was born out of frustration with technology. David started Sentry as an open-source side project in 2008. We started in a small community — the Django web framework — and over time expanded our technology to support dozens of other platforms, including browser JavaScript and mobile applications. Fast forward to today, we're a $90M Series E company with a $3B valuation and 200+ employees on a mission to help developers write better software faster, so we can get back to enjoying technology. As one can see, the adventure continues to be exciting as we bring our developer-first Application Monitoring to more customers and industries worldwide. Consider us for the ride!

Modern Java Packaging & AI-Authored E2E Tests
**THIS MEETUP WILL BE IN-PERSON 🕺** **We're starting at 17:40 this time! 🕒** **What to expect:** 🗣️ Two or three speakers 👥 Meet old and new friends from the community 🍕 Free food 🎉 Open-end and free drinks afterwards ✔️ Just RSVP! Agenda: * 17:30 - Doors open * **17:40 - Welcome by &‌‌amp and SQUER** * 17:50 - First talk * 18:35 - Break * 18:50 - Second talk * 19:35 - Food, Drinks & Networking * 21:30 - Doors closing 👂 **Talks:** 🗣️ Boris Wrubel **Developing Selenium Tests with AI: Practical Insights from Real-World Automation Projects** 🗣️ Philipp Greitbauer **Modern Java Packaging: From Slim Images to Swift Runtimes** 🧑‍💻 **Speakers:** **Boris Wrubel** has over 20 years of experience in software testing, specializing in test automation within agile environments. His expertise spans major projects in banking, telecommunications, and the public sector. For a decade, Boris was part of the Industrial Software Research Group (INSO) at Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien), where he also organized and lectured in the "Software Testing" course. He holds a degree in Business Informatics, with a focus on project and quality management from TU Wien, and has contributed to open-source test automation projects in recent years. *Talk description:* He will share an honest field report from an ongoing project: How does my day-to-day work with Selenium change when generative AI is added as a support tool? Using concrete examples, I demonstrate how AI-based tools help with writing, revising, and understanding test code - for example, by suggesting test cases, proposing refactorings, or assisting with debugging. The focus is not on technology promises, but on real-world experience: Where does AI save time? Where does it lead you astray? And how does this change the role of the test automation engineer? The talk is aimed at anyone interested in the use of AI in quality assurance, with a focus on practical insights, pitfalls, and concrete learnings from everyday project work. **Philipp Greitbauer** is a software engineer at &‌‌amp, a Vienna-based software consulting company. While he works across the full stack, his focus lies in the backend using Java, Kotlin, and Spring Boot. Driven by a curiosity that often leads him down technical "rabbit holes", Philipp is committed to building proper technical foundations. He prioritizes utilizing existing tools to their full potential rather than reinventing the wheel, ensuring that systems are built efficiently. His daily work involves helping clients evolve their systems, drawing on his experience in the banking industry and the public sector. *Talk description:* In this session, we will look at modern strategies for efficiently packaging and running Spring Boot applications. If you are currently building Docker images by simply copying fat JARs, there are several newer tools and techniques in the Java ecosystem that can significantly optimize both your deployment process and runtime performance. We will explore the use of Buildpacks and Spring AOT, alongside JVM advancements like Project Leyden and Java 25’s Compact Object Headers. The talk will also contrast GraalVM with optimized JVM runtimes using AOT Cache or CRaC, examining how these different approaches address the challenges of startup time and resource usage. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Can't find what you like?** **Got something to say?** 📢 Send us your thoughts in the comments.

Platform Engineering Vienna - March 2026 Meetup
Platform Engineering Vienna - March 2026 Meetup
Join us at our March Meetup event for great talks, discussions and beers. Big thanks to Posedio for hosting! **Agenda**: * Doors open 5:30 p.m. * ***Talk 1: 6:00 to 6:30 p.m.*** * **Speaker**: Christian Kirchknopf * **Title**: Building a Secure In-House LLMaaS Platform: BRZ's Approach to AI for Federal Government * **Abstract**: In this talk, I demonstrate how we (BRZ) have developed an Enterprise-Ready LLM-as-a-Service platform that provides government applications simple and secure access to Large Language Models – without dependency on public cloud providers and without data sharing with third parties. Through a unified API, AI applications gain access to locally operated models (e.g., Mistral) or optionally to public cloud providers – depending on requirements, costs, and data protection needs of the workload. Discuss the architectural and product decisions: vLLM as a GPU-optimized inference engine, a central AI gateway that enforces multi-tenancy, security, and comprehensive observability. A brief live demo will show how applications and developers access AI models through a single API – with token-based quotas per tenant and intelligent routing. An experience report from an exciting AI infrastructure project in Austria. * **Break: 6:30 to 6:45 p.m.** * ***Talk 2: 6:45 to 7:30 p.m.*** * **Speaker**: Damjan Gjurovski * **Title**: What is A(I) platform? * **Abstract:** In this talk I will discuss the need of platforms in the age of AI. I will outline some hard-won lessons from my previous experience in developer platforms, data platforms and SRE teams, and discuss how these apply to AI platforms. On the one hand, I will make the argument that AI makes certain aspects of platforms and platform engineering unnecessary, but on the other hand reinforces the need for other platform components. Finally, I will attempt to differentiate between the two new platform types out there – AI platforms and AI Engineering platforms and discuss the capabilities and requirements for each. * **Networking**: start 7:45 p.m.

We are gathering at STRABAG for an evening dedicated to the practitioners building at the intersection of foundation models and the physical world. This is a curated, technical environment for those actively shipping code. We prioritize implementation details, architecture trade-offs, and working systems over high-level presentations. Registration is open now via the form above. ### 🎤 Call for Demos: Show Your Stack We are looking for builders to share technical demonstrations. This is a technical show-and-tell for builders, by builders. We want to see your messy experiments, creative hacks, and technical discoveries in action. Your demo should answer: “How did you build this interesting thing?” not “Why should someone use this product?” **Demo Requirements:** * **No Slides:** Run live code, walk through architecture diagrams, or zoom into workflow graphs. * **Technical Depth:** Share your prompt engineering strategies, agentic workflows, or orchestration layers. * **Imperfection Welcome:** We value raw, early-stage experiments and the lessons learned from what broke.

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
