PCE Philosophic Conversation in English
PCE - "Philosophic Conversation in English" is a discussion event in English language which focuses on psychology, philosophy, self-consciousness and self-realization. The conversation is based on inclusive discussion rules. We will meet at at a restaurant where we will have a private room exclusively reserved for our event.
At the beginning we will choose the two topics to discuss. Everybody can suggest a topic. Afterwards we will vote what topics to discuss. The person who suggests a winning topic will start the discussion by explaining his/her idea.
Afterwards everybody gets his/her chance to make a statement. But you can also decide to remain silent and only listen, if you prefer that. We have a time limit for statements, so that everybody has enough time to speak. It is not allowed to interrupt somebody who is speaking. After a statement everybody can ask a question and the speaker will answer.
After the first part there will be a 15 minutes break before we start the second part.
Everybody is welcome to our event: We are interested in your thoughts and opinions! It is no problem if you arrive late and you can also leave whenever you want.
Please don't bring pets to this event because the room is usually very crowded. Please make sure to register for the event to secure your seat!

Platform Engineering Vienna - May 2026 Meetup
Welcome to our May Meetup event for great talks, discussions and beers. We will meet at the Dynatrace office, thanks for hosting!
**Agenda**:
* Doors open 5:30 p.m.
* ***Talk 1: 6:00 to 6:30 p.m.***
* **Speaker**: Philipp Maier
* **Title**: Beyond the Fork: A 2026 Perspective on Terraform and OpenTofu
* **Abstract**: Both Terraform and OpenTofu are industry-standard tools used to automate the provisioning and management of infrastructure through code.
In this session, we will start at Commit b145fbc from 2023 and shortly review what happened back then and how OpenTofu started. We will then explore the technical divergence between Terraform and OpenTofu as of 2026 and how their managed ecosystems have evolved, looking at the practical trade-offs for our own projects.
* **Break: 6:30 to 6:45 p.m.**
* ***Talk 2: 6:45 to 7:30 p.m.***
* **Speaker**: Sahil Sharma
* **Title**: Kafka on Kubernetes: Building a Full-Stack Streaming Environment with Strimzi.
* **Abstract:** Running Apache Kafka on Kubernetes was once considered a daunting task. However, the Strimzi operator has simplified this process, making it possible to manage complex streaming infrastructure through a declarative approach. In this session, we will demonstrate how to bridge the gap between local development and production patterns by deploying a full-stack Kafka environment inside a Kind cluster.
We will walk through a live setup including:
\- Cluster Provisioning: Using Strimzi to deploy a functional Kafka cluster in seconds\.
\- Management & Visibility: Integrating Kafbat UI to inspect topics and messages\.
\- Observability: Implementing a Grafana and Prometheus \+ AlertManager stack to track broker health and consumer lag\.
\- Application Flow: Deploying a producer and consumer to validate the end\-to\-end data pipeline using Confluent library\.
Whether you are building a local sandbox or planning a larger rollout, you will leave with a repeatable template for a fully observable Kafka ecosystem on Kubernetes.
* **Networking**: start 7:45 p.m.
36. Google Cloud Meetup
*This event is free of charge and only takes place on-site!*
*Language of the Meetup: ENGLISH 🇬🇧*
**Talk #1: Architecting relationship-aware long-term memory for AI agents** [Tarun Jain, Founding Engineer and GDE in AI]
Most developers building AI Agents focus on reasoning and planning, but quietly ignore what matters most: Memory. Stateless agents respond in isolation, while stateful agents unlock real capability by remembering and building over time. The problem becomes clear when Agents need to connect facts or track how information changes, where vector search alone starts to break down. Retrieval can fetch data, but only knowledge graphs can structure relationships and enable true multi-step reasoning over time.
In this session, I will showcase how memory works in the backend, including a live visualization of fact extraction and graph construction in working code. The primary focus will be on edge cases, especially the hybrid vector graph approach, where semantic search and structured traversal are combined to handle multi-hop reasoning and temporal changes by considering the Cognee open-source framework. Furthermore, I will showcase a working demo of Memory, featuring visualization and a user journey, via Streamlit.
**Talk #2: Anatomy of a Supply Chain Attack: From Compromise to Countermeasure [**[Valentin Goronjic](https://www.linkedin.com/in/valentingoronjic/) (Lead Software Engineer), [Tamas Neumer](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tamas-neumer/) (Lead Cloud Engineer) at [Posedio GmbH](https://www.linkedin.com/company/posedio/)**]**
In March 2026, attackers compromised Trivy, the open source container scanner thousands of teams rely on to find vulnerabilities. The exploit scanned the CI environment for a wide range of credentials and exfiltrated whatever it found. Trivy isn't alone, countless similar attacks have taken place the past month.
The goal of this talk is twofold. First, to raise awareness of these attacks, how they happen and what to expect once you're compromised. Second, to look at what's in GCP's toolbox to mitigate such incidents.

The Psychology of Data Transformations & Optimizing Multimodal AI Pipelines
Dear Data Enthusiasts,
Join us again on **29th of May** at **A1** to learn about the psychological implications on employees when transforming the data landscape of an organization. In addition, we will finally have a talk about the open source framework Metaxy and how it can help to cut costs of multimodal AI pipelines.
A big thanks goes to our co-organizers from the A1 Telekom and our sponsor Cloudera!
**A Psychological Autopsy of a Data Transformation**
*Dávid Farkas*
Five years ago, a small European university decided to build and implement a data strategy from scratch. Greenfield in the truest sense: data governance was an unheard term and in practice it meant local Excel files duplicated across inboxes; "the database" usually referred to whichever spreadsheet someone had emailed most recently. Over four years, we designed and rolled out new systems, established governance structures, hired a team, and delivered real wins. We also watched a significant portion of the work get undone in months once leadership changed.
This talk is a psychological autopsy of that transformation — what was planned, what worked, what quietly collapsed, and why. Universities are an unusually honest laboratory for studying data initiatives: decentralized power, competing stakeholder logics, weak formal hierarchies, and ambiguous success metrics make every human dysfunction that exists in corporate environments more visible.
Drawing on behavioural science and nearly five years leading this initiative, I'll walk through the recurring failure patterns I see across data and AI projects more broadly — algorithm aversion, NIH syndrome, the gap between executive sponsorship and operational ownership, and the under-recognised role of organisational identity in determining which systems survive a leadership change. The argument is not that technology doesn't matter — it's that the human substrate determines whether any of it sticks. Borrowing Kranzberg: technology is never neutral, and neither are the people implementing it.
**Dávid Farkas** is a research psychologist (PhD) and data scientist based in Budapest. He co-founded Principle Zero, which helps companies, NGOs, and researchers take on complex challenges in data strategy, digital and AI transformation, research, product development, and science communication. We bring behavioural science to problems most consultancies treat as purely technical, focusing on the human and organisational factors that determine whether ambitious projects survive contact with reality. Previously he led data science and digitalisation at MOME Budapest, with earlier industry experience applying machine learning.
**Optimizing Multimodal AI Pipelines with Metaxy**
*Georg Heiler, Hernan Picatto*
The AI era has caused a fundamental shift in computing, moving us toward complex multimodal pipelines. However, these new systems are often incredibly wasteful. Right now, small changes to an input can trigger massive recomputations across very expensive processing steps.
In this talk, we will explore Metaxy, an open source Python framework built to solve this exact problem. Metaxy provides sample level metadata versioning and acts as the universal glue for incremental data pipelines. We will discuss how its field level provenance allows your pipeline to only recompute what actually changed. If you update an audio file, for example, Metaxy knows to skip downstream face recognition steps that only rely on video.
Whether you are a startup stretching your compute budget, an enterprise scaling ML infrastructure, or a researcher in academia, you will learn how to use Metaxy to iterate faster, cut cloud costs, and build highly efficient AI workflows.
**Georg Heiler** is a co-founder @Jubust and a Senior data expert at Magenta as well as a ML-ops engineer at ASCII. He is solving challenges with data. His interests include geospatial graphs and time series. Georg transitions the data platform of Magenta to the cloud and is handling large scale multi-modal ML-ops challenges at ASCII.
**Hernan Picatto** is a Computer Science PhD candidate at the Vienna University of Technology researching firm-level supply chains and corporate networks using NLP and Common Crawl data. Formerly an engineer at JPMorgan Chase and ZhiZhouKeji, he holds an MA from UCSD. His broad interests span big data, visualization, and time series causality.

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**
Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod.
