**Freches deutsches Comedy Open Mic in Wien! Junge Comedians + erfahrene Pros, gratis Eintritt & Drinks – jeden Mittwoch im Comedy Pub.** ## [HOL DIR DEINE RESERVIERUNG!!!](https://www.universe.com/events/checkst-du-comedy-freches-stand-up-open-mic-thecomedypub-tickets-8S49H0?ref=MeetUp) Willkommen zu **Checkst du? Comedy**, der mittwöchlichen Stand-up-Show im *The Comedy Pub*, bei der junge Talente und erfahrene Comedians gemeinsam für einen Abend voller Energie sorgen. Frech, direkt und immer spontan – hier wird Stand-up neu gedacht und live getestet. Diese Show ist der Spielplatz der neuen Generation von Comedians in Wien. Sie bringen frische Ideen, mutige Witze und ungeschliffene Jokes auf die Bühne. Erfahrene Profis runden den Abend ab und zeigen, wie Timing und Bühnenpräsenz funktionieren. Das Publikum bekommt so einen spannenden Mix: jung, wild, frech – und trotzdem mit Comedy-Handwerk auf höchstem Niveau. ## 🤔 Was ist ein Open Mic? Ein Open Mic ist der Ort, an dem Comedy geboren wird. Hier probieren Newcomer ihre allerersten Jokes, während Profis ihre neuesten Texte testen. Manche Gags knallen sofort, manche landen vielleicht erst beim zweiten Versuch – aber gerade das macht den Reiz aus. Du bist live dabei, wenn Comedy entsteht, wächst und manchmal glorreich scheitert. Und genau das ist **echtes Stand-up**. ## 🍻 The Comedy Pub – Der Comedy-Hotspot in Wien Die Bühne von **Checkst du? Comedy** ist der historische Altbaukeller im *The Comedy Pub* (Kettenbrückengasse 7, 1050 Wien). Oben: Irish-Pub-Flair mit Drinks, Bar-Snacks und guter Stimmung. Unten: Kelleratmosphäre pur – nah dran, direkt und perfekt für Stand-up. Dank der Lage direkt an der U4-Station Kettenbrückengasse bist du in wenigen Minuten mitten im Comedy-Geschehen. ## 💡 Eintritt frei – Spenden willkommen Lachen soll für alle zugänglich sein! Deshalb ist der Eintritt frei. Aber Comedy lebt auch davon, dass Publikum und Künstler\*innen sich gegenseitig unterstützen. Wenn du gelacht hast, zeig’s mit einer Spende – fair, ehrlich und der direkteste Applaus überhaupt. ## 🎟️ Regeln für das Publikum Damit die Show für alle funktioniert, bitten wir dich um ein paar Basics: * Sei pünktlich – die besten Plätze sind schnell weg. * Lachen ausdrücklich erwünscht – am besten laut! * Keine Gespräche während der Show, Fokus auf die Bühne. * Kein Heckling – die Comedians sind funny genug. 😉 * Spenden sind willkommen – Support your locals! ## 🎉 Warum Mittwoch? Weil der Mittwoch sonst der langweiligste Tag der Woche wäre. **Checkst du? Comedy** macht aus der Wochenmitte ein Highlight: jung, frech, energiegeladen und mit Line-ups, die jede Woche neu überraschen. Wenn du Lust hast auf ehrliches Stand-up ohne Filter, dann bist du hier genau richtig. #CheckstDuComedy #ComedyWien #StandupWien #OpenMicWien #DeutschComedy #ComedyNightWien #ComedyClubWien #StandupComedyWien #WienLacht #LachenInWien #ComediansWien #ComedySzeneWien #ComedyShowWien #WienEvents #WienNightlife #ComedyLovers #WienOpenMic #GermanComedy #ComedyVienna #ViennaComedy #StandupVienna #ViennaEvents #ViennaNightlife #ViennaOpenMic #ViennaStandup #ViennaFun #ViennaUnderground #ComedyLifeWien #WienHumor #StandupSceneWien #LaughsInVienna #ComedySpotWien #FunnyInWien #AltbaukellerComedy #ViennaLaughs #WienWednesday #FrecheComedy #NewComediansWien #ComedyNewGen #YoungComedyWien

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.

**Comedy Factory: Vienna’s wild & international English Open Mic. Fresh jokes, new comedians & free entry every Saturday.** ## [GET YOUR TICKETS HERE!!!](https://www.universe.com/events/comedy-factory-english-open-mic-thecomedypub-tickets-46HDTR?ref=MeetUp) 🔥 Saturday nights start with laughter! Welcome to **Comedy Factory**, Vienna’s most international and experimental English Stand-up Comedy Open Mic. Every Saturday at 18:30, The Comedy Pub transforms into a comedy playground where fresh jokes are built, tested, and unleashed. ## Event Description: At **Comedy Factory**, anything can happen. New comedians step on stage for the very first time, while experienced performers bring their sharpest jokes and wildest new ideas. The result? A raw, unpredictable, and unforgettable night of comedy. With **10–12 comedians each week**, you’ll see a mix of bold experiments, risky punchlines, and polished sets. No two shows are ever the same – every Saturday offers a brand-new lineup of voices from Vienna’s thriving international comedy scene. This show is perfect if you’re: * an **Expat or international living in Vienna** looking for English comedy * a **local curious about stand-up culture** from around the world * a **tourist wanting a unique night out** in Vienna * or simply someone who loves to laugh at fresh, unfiltered comedy. ## 🤔 What is an Open Mic? An Open Mic is where comedy is born. Comedians test their newest material, experiment with wild ideas, and interact with the audience in real time. Sometimes the jokes kill, sometimes they bomb – but that’s exactly the fun. As an audience member, you get to witness comedy in its rawest form, up close and personal. ## 🍻 The Comedy Pub – Vienna’s Home of Stand-up The show takes place in **The Comedy Pub** (Kettenbrückengasse 7, 1050 Vienna). Unlike our underground cellar shows, **Comedy Factory happens upstairs in the main pub area** – bright, welcoming, international, and buzzing with energy. Grab a drink, settle in, and enjoy the only dedicated stand-up comedy club in Vienna. Centrally located right by **U4 Kettenbrückengasse station**, it’s the perfect meeting point before heading out into your Saturday night. ## 💡 Free Entry – Donations Welcome Comedy should be for everyone. That’s why entry is free! But if you had a great time (and you will 😉), we invite you to drop a donation in the bucket at the end of the show. It’s the best way to support the comedians who made you laugh. ## 🎟️ Audience Rules To keep the show fun and fair for everyone, we ask for a few simple things: * Be on time – comedy waits for no one. * Respect the stage – no talking during sets. * Laugh loud, clap hard – comedians feed off your energy. * No heckling – it never ends well. * Show love with a donation if you laughed. ## 🎉 Why Saturday? Because weekends deserve a big laugh. **Comedy Factory** is the perfect early-evening start to your Saturday – international, experimental, and guaranteed to surprise you. With a new lineup every week, it’s always fresh, always different, always funny. Start your night with us, then take the laughter out into Vienna. #ComedyFactoryVienna #EnglishComedyVienna #ViennaComedy #StandupVienna #ViennaNightlife #ViennaEvents #ComedyVienna #LiveComedyVienna #EnglishOpenMic #StandupComedyVienna #ViennaExpats #ExpatsInVienna #ComedyShowVienna #ViennaLaughs #FunnyInVienna #ComedyClubVienna #ViennaWeekend #SaturdayNightVienna #ViennaFun #ViennaThingsToDo #ComedyLifeVienna #ComedyCommunityVienna #ViennaTourists #InternationalComedy #WildComedyVienna #ExperimentalComedy #ViennaStage #ViennaCulture #ViennaNightOut #LaughsInVienna #ComedyHotspotVienna #ViennaStandupScene #ViennaLaughing #ComedyPubVienna #ViennaSaturday #ViennaLOL #ComedyAddictsVienna #ViennaGiggles #ComedyUndergroundVienna #ViennaHahaha

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. Location, Food & Drinks are sponsored by TechTalk. **Timetable:** \- 18:00: Door opens at TechTalk \- 18:15: Intro \- 18:20: Talk starts \- 19:30: Food & Drinks \- 21:00: End Recordings will be available afterward at https://go.dotnetdevs.at/recordings This meetup is organized by DotNetDevs.at (https://dotnetdevs.at/).

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
