After **"winter is coming"** we finally can say **"spring is coming"** to Vienna! As we had the AWSome GameDay Europe in March, we're now coming back to our **regular agenda**! We're visiting The Atelier at **Impact Hub Vienna** this time, thankfully to the sponsor **Bytesource**! *** 📍 **Location** The Atelier Impact Hub Vienna [Lindengasse 56, 1070 Wien](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x476d078cbc5cf79b:0x3e9197850789a772?sa=X&ved=1t:8290&ictx=111) 🕒 **When** **April 22th 2026** Doors open at 17:00 for networking, food & drinks. Talks start at 18:00. *** 🗓️ **Agenda** * **17:00 - 18:00:** Entry & Networking * **18:00 - 18:05:** Welcome and Introduction AWS Community Vienna * **18:05 - 18:10:** Welcome and Introduction to the sponsors (**Bytesource**) * **18:10 - 19:00:** **"Sales Copilot: Turn complex technical inquiries into clear, accurate offers in minutes, not hours!"** * **19:00 - 19:20:** Networking break * **19:20 - 20:00:** **"Beyond Vibe Coding"** * **20:00 – Open End:** Networking **"Sales Copilot: Turn complex technical inquiries into clear, accurate offers in minutes, not hours!"** *Speaker:* **Alexander Matev**, CISO at Bytesource *About the talk:* Sales CoPilot as a solution that helps teams turn complex technical customer inquiries into clear, accurate quotations much faster, reducing turnaround from hours to minutes. The business problem: technical sales requests are slow, difficult, and error-prone when handled manually. The Solution: Our Sales CoPilot interprets complex requirements, works with documentation and technical data, and supports offer preparation. Technology foundation: strong emphasis on AWS as the enabler, plus AI/LLM-driven processing. Architecture choice: a set of core AWS services to deliver both the user-facing application and the AI-powered data processing pipeline. Amazon S3 stores uploaded product datasheets and hosts the frontend assets, while Amazon CloudFront accelerates and securely delivers the web interface to users. Incoming application traffic is routed through an Application Load Balancer (ALB) to containerized services running on Amazon ECS, which handle both backend business logic and document ingestion tasks. For AI capabilities, Amazon Bedrock is used in two places: to extract and transform structured information from PDF datasheets, and to power the agentic logic behind the application. Persistent structured data is stored in Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL, which supports read/write operations from the backend. Together, these AWS services provide a scalable, cloud-native architecture for hosting, processing, AI enrichment, and application delivery. ### **"Beyond Vibe Coding"** *Speaker:* **Sergio Lopez-Gehler**, Solutions Architect @ AWS AI agents are changing how engineers write, test, and ship code. This talk explores what agentic coding looks like in practice — the workflow, the tradeoffs, and the tools that make it work. We'll cover how to collaborate effectively with AI agents: prompting, reviewing, iterating, and knowing when to take over. We'll look at what changes when development gets significantly faster — testing strategies, CI/CD pipelines, and team coordination all need to keep up. Then we'll introduce Kiro, an agentic IDE that uses spec-driven development, steering rules, and hooks to let engineers define how the agent operates within their codebase. We'll also look at AWS DevOps Agent — an autonomous operations teammate that correlates metrics, logs, and deployment history to investigate incidents and identify root causes before you even open your laptop. *** 💛 **Sponsors:** * **Bytesource** - [https://bytesource.net/de/](https://bytesource.net/de/) *** 📌 **RSVP now** and invite your colleagues to celebrate, learn, and connect with the AWS community at **Impact Hub Vienna**!

Join me for a photo walk :) We will gather at Gasometer (in front of Apotheke - straight out of Ubahn).

At the end of the walk everyone is welcome to join for a warm drink at a nearby cafe.

Lansăm un club de carte scrisă în limba română, la Viena, dedicat tuturor celor care vor să transforme lectura într-o experiență împărtășită. Ne dorim întâlniri relaxate, cu conversații autentice, opinii diferite, râsete, poate și mici controverse – exact așa cum se întâmplă atunci când o carte chiar ne pune pe gânduri.

Într-un oraș atât de divers precum Viena, astfel de întâlniri sunt o ocazie frumoasă de a crea legături, de a ne regăsi prin povești și de a construi o mică comunitate în jurul cărților. Nu contează cât de mult sau cât de repede citești. Contează să îți dorești să fii acolo și să împărtășești ce ai simțit citind. ⸻ 📖 Cartea cu care începem: Kinderland de Liliana Corobca Ebook disponibil: [https://www.libris.ro/ebook/ebook-kinderland-liliana-corobca/12972084](https://www.libris.ro/ebook/ebook-kinderland-liliana-corobca/12972084) Scribd: [https://www.scribd.com/document/731993970/Corobca-Liliana-Kinderland-retail](https://www.scribd.com/document/731993970/Corobca-Liliana-Kinderland-retail) 📍 Locația: Europe Direct Wien - Europazentrum Wien Lassingleithnerpl. 2/3, 1020 Wien 🗓 Data și ora: Sâmbătă 25.04.26, 16:00 Coordonatoare: Liuba Rusnac, scriitoare 🔗 Link înscriere / detalii: moldor.org@gmail.com Dacă vrei ca lectura să nu mai fie doar un moment solitar, ci începutul unei conversații, te așteptăm cu drag.
