We'd like to invite you to our second installation for the Cloud Native Vienna Meetups in 2026! Again we'll have two deep-dive talks and time to network and chat with friends in the Viennese cloud native community. A big thank you to **willhaben** for hosting us and providing food and drinks! The meetup will take place at the **willhaben** (Bürozentrum 1, Landstraßer Hauptstraße 97-101, 1030 Wien). You can reach the office from inside the “Galleria Landstraße” mall. After entering through the main entrance, you’ll find the entrance to Bürozentrum 1 (a big red door) on your right, just past the chocolate shop. Take the elevator to floor 3A (look for the button with the willhaben logo). **Agenda:** * **17:30:** Doors Open & Networking * **17:55:** Welcome from the Organizers * **18:00:** **Talk 1:** Lukas Zainzinger – ***willhaben’s Journey to AWS MSK – A retrospective on Security, Costs, and Reality*** * **18:45:** Break & Refreshments * **19:00:** **Talk 2:** David Hondl – ***Monster-Sized Gitops; How to scale Argo CD*** * **19:45:** Open Networking We look forward to seeing you there! \-\-\- **Talks:** Lukas Zainzinger (willhaben) ***willhaben’s Journey to AWS MSK – A retrospective on Security, Costs, and Reality*** Migrating to managed services is rarely a plug-and-play experience. In this talk, we walk through Willhaben’s transition to Managed Kafka on AWS (MSK), sharing the authentic story of our integration rather than a textbook tutorial. We will dive into the specific hurdles we faced, focusing on how we engineered solutions for strict security and access control requirements. Additionally, we’ll discuss the financial aspect—specifically the pricing issues we encountered and the adjustments we made to solve them. This isn't a lecture on the "one right way" to do things, but a transparent look at the decisions, challenges, and learnings we gathered along our own journey. *Bio:* Lukas joined willhaben as a Platform SRE in 2024, following a career path that transitioned from Application Management to specialized DevOps roles at Raiffeisen Informatik, Shöpping and Siemens. Throughout his journey, he has developed a deep expertise in Kubernetes, Terraform and multiple Cloud Providers, always with an eye toward improving developer experience and system reliability. Currently a Master’s student at Hochschule Burgenland, Lukas bridges the gap between academic cloud research and real-world infrastructure challenges. He is particularly passionate about leveraging cloud-native and managed services to build robust, fault-tolerant infrastructure. David Hondl (Dynatrace) ***Monster-Sized Gitops; How to scale Argo CD*** Argo CD is one of the most popular and widely spread GitOps tools for Kubernetes and part of the backbone of many internal developer platforms. Also Argo CD can undoubtedly be a beast - and a huge one at that, as anyone scaling it for a production environment has probably seen in one way or another. But what if simply having a massive installation is not enough for us? What if we want to go even bigger from here, raise it to beyond what we thought feasible? Create more Applications, more ApplicationSets and render more resources at the same time? These are the questions that we will tackle in this talk. We are going to take a look at the different Argo CD components, from the frontend to the K8s controllers and how they behave at scale. We will examine how far they can bend and especially when and how they will break. Based on what we find, we are going to figure out how to tweak these parts in just the right way. And in the end we will hopefully be able to turn Argo CD into a bigger monster than it ever was. *Bio:* I'm a Cloud Engineer at Dynatrace and I'm super passionate about all things Platform Engineering and the cloud-native community. I use (and build) platforms to create better developer experiences and love to share my knowledge as a speaker as well as actively organize meetups around the topic.

For English scroll down Der Eurovision Song Contest ist seit 1956 weit mehr als ein Musikwettbewerb. Als transnationales Medienereignis spiegelt er europäische Stimmungen, politische Brüche und popkulturelle Entwicklungen ebenso wie nationale Selbstinszenierungen. Für viele in der LGBTQIA+-Community ist der ESC zugleich ein zentraler Ort queerer Sichtbarkeit – und damit ein Raum von Zugehörigkeit, Repräsentation und Aushandlung. Die Ausstellung „United by Queerness“ widmet sich diesen Spannungsfeldern zwischen Vielfalt und Nationalismus, Inklusion und Ausgrenzung. Sie folgt einem dreiteiligen räumlichen Konzept – vom Wohnzimmer über die Arena bis zur Bühne – und zeigt, wie der ESC erlebt, gefeiert und politisch interpretiert wird. Qwien macht damit die queeren Dimensionen des ESC sichtbar und reflektiert ihn als popkulturelles Phänomen, das bis heute Debatten auslöst. English: Since 1956, the Eurovision Song Contest has been much more than just a music competition. As a transnational media event, it reflects European moods, political divisions and pop culture developments as well as national self-promotion. For many in the LGBTQIA+ community, the ESC is also a central place for queer visibility – and thus a space for belonging, representation and negotiation. The exhibition ‘United by Queerness’ is dedicated to these tensions between diversity and nationalism, inclusion and exclusion. It follows a three-part spatial concept – from the living room to the arena to the stage – and shows how the ESC is experienced, celebrated and politically interpreted. Qwien thus makes the queer dimensions of the ESC visible and reflects on it as a pop-cultural phenomenon that continues to spark debate to this day.

This event is for people who join the event in person at TechTalk (https://techtalk.at/). As this is a **#mashup meetup**, please be aware, that you have to **register outside of meetup** to join the event (because of room limitations). **Please register here for the event: [https://techtalk.at/software-net-meetup-weiterentwicklung-modularer-monolithen-mit-architekturellen-fitnessfunktionen/](https://techtalk.at/software-net-meetup-weiterentwicklung-modularer-monolithen-mit-architekturellen-fitnessfunktionen/)** If you join the event remotely, please RSVP here: https://www.meetup.com/dotnet-austria/events/313069017 This meetup is organized by DotNetDevs.at (https://dotnetdevs.at/) together with the Softwarearchitektur Wien Meetup (https://www.meetup.com/softwarearchitektur-wien/). **Abstract** In this talk, Patrick Säuerl (Tech Lead/Architect) and Tim Paulus (Developer) will share their journey of evolving a software project towards a modular monolith with consistent layering. The system started over 10 years ago as a monolith, and many teams have developed within it, adding their flavors and understanding of the architectural patterns and the architecture trends at that time. This has led to maintenance issues and unclear guidance for new developers. We tackled parts of this by introducing tests that ensure the layering of vertical slices is consistent. Our solution is based on the following approaches: \* Fitness Functions from Evolutionary Architecture \* Ports & Adapters and Layered Architecture \* Approval Testing \* Architecture Tests We will cover these topics and the ideas we borrowed from them. The talk will also focus on the dynamics that these tests initiated within the team and another contributing team, leading to fruitful discussions, better shared understanding of the technical vision, and clear refactoring targets for developers. **About Tim Paulus:** As a developer, Tim faces the typical challenge of inheriting a software project with proven business value in its domain, yet needing to transform its architecture to meet new technical and organizational requirements. **About Patrick Säuerl:** Patrick is an experienced software architect and technical lead who has supported numerous teams and developers on their journey. With several years of experience in various projects, he has shifted his focus to technical leadership, team collaboration, and Domain-Driven Design (DDD). He places particular emphasis on collaborative modeling, with preferred methods including Specification by Example, User Story Mapping, Event Storming, and Event Modeling. Patrick promotes both intra-team collaboration and cross-team collaboration in scaled environments.

In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects. **YouTube Link** TBA
