This meetup is intended for developers, architects, and engineers working with Google Cloud technologies. Agenda ⏰ 18:25: Doors open ⏰ 18:55: Doors close (late entry may not be possible due to building security) ⏰ 19:00: Welcome – Thomas, Erin, Alessandro and Rachel (organizers) ⏰ 19:05: Talk 1 – From DevOps to AI-Driven Software Delivery: The Sanitas journey, Norwin Metzger & Patrick Del Conte, Sanitas ⏰ 19:30: Talk 2 – Directly from Vegas, the SRE extension, baked in Zürich, is live! - Ricc & Ramón, Google ⏰ 20:00: Networking & Apéro – Supported by Google Cloud, Zencore, ABB, and Datwave Talk details Talk 1 Title: From DevOps to AI-Driven Software Delivery: The Sanitas journey Speaker: Norwin Metzger & Patrick Del Conte, Sanitas Description: 80% of Sanitas' workloads run on Google Cloud, serving 15 development teams. Over the past few years, the platform team standardized CI/CD, shifted to an API-first cloud model, and enforced GitOps and Infrastructure-as-Code — not just for operational hygiene, but as the foundation for what comes next: autonomous AI coding agents that implement features, review code, design architectures, and flag security issues. This talk covers the journey from platform engineering to AI-driven delivery, what's already running in production, and what it means for development teams when the agent ships and the human approves. Talk 2 Title: Directly from Vegas, the SRE extension, baked in Zürich, is live! Speaker: Ricc & Ramón, Google

The OWASP community is getting together for another meetup in May 2026! Join us for some security talks 🔐, good company 🤝, and a little aperitif 🍕. **Program:** **16:00** - **Doors open**: Grab a drink, meet old and new friends from the OWASP Switzerland community **16:30** - **Hello from OWASP Switzerland** **16:40 - Talk: AI-Driven Development Lifecycle (AI-DLC) (Markus Rollwagen, Senior Solutions Architect, AWS)** **17:25** **-** **(10min break)** **17:35 - Talk: Using HoneyPots to protect critical Infrastructure (Giulio Grazzi, Head IT Security, SRF)** **18:35** - **(10min break)** **18:45 - Talk: We Tried to Detect Prompt Injection in Coding Agents. Here's What Broke (Paulo Martins, Principal Security Engineer, GitLab)** **19:30 - Networking & Pizza 🍕 & Aperitif**🍷- Grab a bite and chat with old and new friends **Talks Details:** **AI-Driven Development Lifecycle (AI-DLC) (Markus):** Software development is undergoing a fundamental shift. AWS’s AI-Driven Development Lifecycle (AI-DLC) positions AI not as a mere assistant, but as a central collaborator across the entire SDLC — from requirements to deployment. In this session, we’ll explore how AI-DLC’s three phases — Inception, Construction, and Operations — redefine team workflows, and what this means for security: how AI enforces organization-specific security standards consistently, maintains human oversight at critical decision points, and ensures traceability from requirements to deployment. We’ll discuss the security opportunities and risks this methodology introduces, and how teams can adopt AI-DLC while keeping security a first-class citizen in every “bolt.” **Using HoneyPots to protect critical Infrastructure (Giulio):** How do you protect your critical infrastructure in the days of agentic ai and very limited options on your hosts? You need to get creative and use stone age tech. I’ll give you some insights, from our journey and pitfalls you might be facing (and should be avoided :)) **We Tried to Detect Prompt Injection in Coding Agents. Here's What Broke (Paulo):** As a community, we are delegating a significant part of our development workflow to agents, and as the use cases grow, the risk of prompt injection keeps increasing - to the point that it made it to the top of the OWASP LLM Top 10. In this talk, I'll explore the concept of "detect and prevent prompt injection" and why it is particularly hard to do for coding agents. **Speaker Details:** **Markus Rollwagen** Senior Solutions Architect at AWS, based in Switzerland Markus enjoys deep dive technical discussions, while keeping an eye on the big picture and the customer goals. With a software engineering background, he embraces infrastructure as code and is passionate about all things security. **Giulio Grazzi** Head IT Security, SRF From bike messaging to networking to infosec - always maximize never max out. Currently at Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen dealing with all Infosec topics, background in networking, embedded devices and mobile security. **Paulo Martin** Principal Security Engineer, GitLab since 2021 Now focused on AI security: prompt injection, sandboxing, and keeping agentic workflows from doing things they shouldn't.

Web Zurich presents inspiring talks all about the web. Join us for the Mai 2026 meetup! We will have three talks as well as chit-chat and drinks. Whatapp: [https://chat.whatsapp.com/FxOfVTK9nf431xHtVl3eGK](https://chat.whatsapp.com/FxOfVTK9nf431xHtVl3eGK) Website: [https://webzurich.ch](https://webzurich.ch) 18:30 \~ 19:00 Arrival time with drinks, chat 19:00 \~ 19:10 Welcome and introduction 19:10 \~ 19:30 *Alex Suzuki* **Monetizing JavaScript: Building Profitable Products as a Solo Developer** Lessons learned from building and launching a commercial JavaScript library as a solo developer. 19:30 \~ 19:50 *Hugo Sousa* **Ten times tea** I'm building a programming language. When I got to the frontend, I ran into a problem: React's mental model is elegant, but the mental model is at odds with the code. Hooks, effects, and render passes create a runtime that bears little resemblance to the code we write. The Elm programming language works differently and its architecture (TEA = The Elm Architecture) has been adopted by other tools over the years. So I copied it as well. My language embeds TEA at the language level, not as a library. This unlocks time-travel debugging, reproducible application state and serializable bug reports that include the entire program state. This talk covers the quick introduction of my language, TEA, why TEA is the right fit and what becomes possible when the architecture is baked into the language itself. 19:50 \~ 20:10 *Marco Gähler* **Software testing** Many old software projects don't have any tests - if the code works, why should you bother with tests? Well, you really should bother, because code changes all the time. During development, you keep adding new features which at times requires large scale modifications of the code that will inevitably alter existing functionality. And in existing projects, one still has to make updates once in a while, for example for security patches. These things will always break existing functionality and tests are the only remedy against this issue. In this talk, we will look at the basic idea of tests, how to implement them, what issues to look out for and how you can test pretty much any piece of code if your code base is well structured. 20:10 onward More drinks & chat We look forward to see you there! Location https://zurich.impacthub.ch/space/bogen_d/ Viaduktstrasse 93, 8005 Zürich, Switzerland Visit our website https://webzurich.ch/ for more information about the Web Zurich community.

**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** 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. **YouTube Link** https://youtube.com/live/BltmWMH1zG0?feature=share

Most people use AI like a search box: they type one sentence, hope for the best, and get frustrated when the answer is generic, wrong, or useless. But getting better results from tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other AI systems is not about memorizing magic prompts. It is about learning how to give the AI better context. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll break down how to make AI dramatically more useful by improving the way you communicate with it. You’ll learn how to give clearer instructions, provide examples, set constraints, ask for better output formats, and use follow-up questions to turn a mediocre answer into a genuinely useful one. We’ll cover practical techniques you can use immediately for work, learning, writing, coding, planning, research, and everyday problem solving. We’ll also touch on why these same ideas show up in more advanced AI systems, including RAG, agents, evaluations, and AI workflows. No technical background required. Bring your curiosity, your questions, and maybe one real task you wish AI was better at helping you with. **What you’ll learn:** * Why “better prompting” is really about better context * How to structure requests so AI gives more useful answers * How to use examples, constraints, and output formats * How to iterate when the first answer is not good enough * How these skills connect to more advanced AI workflows This meetup is for anyone who wants to move beyond basic ChatGPT usage and start getting more practical value out of AI. 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.
