Conversational Contracts: Human‑Centered API Design with DDD and AI #mashup
In many organizations, APIs are treated as technical contracts — neat documentation of endpoints and payloads.
But what if APIs could become something more: living expressions of the business domain itself?
This talk examines how Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and modern API craftsmanship converge to establish a shared language between people and systems. We’ll walk through how techniques like Domain Storytelling, Event Storming, and Context Mapping can lead directly into OpenAPI and AsyncAPI specifications that reflect real domain intent — not just data structures.
**How can LLM help?**
Along the way, we’ll see how Large Language Models (LLMs) can amplify human creativity — helping teams turn visual domain artifacts into executable API contracts while preserving intent and nuance. Instead of replacing design thinking, AI becomes a collaborator in the craftsmanship process.
Through practical examples, we’ll explore how bounded contexts define API boundaries, how ubiquitous language shapes resource and event models, and how contract-first design enables safe, evolutionary change. By the end, you’ll see APIs not merely as integration points, but as living domain boundaries to align architecture, business, and shared understanding.

**Talks:**
Rober Klonner (WKO Inhouse Gmbh)
**GitOps Visibility: Precise Argo CD diffs on every Pull Request**
Today's GitOps deployments are generated through layers of templating - Helm charts, Kustomize or ApplicationSets. Modifying these abstractions and trying to mentally render the output is error-prone.
This talk introduces a method that uses Argo CD itself to render accurate diffs of Helm charts and Kustomize overlays between branches and posts the result directly on your pull request.
We'll walk through a production setup using the Argo CD Operator, Argo CD Diff Preview, and GitLab CI, optimized for performance, minimal maintenance, and security. Through real-world use cases, we'll show what issues this approach catches before they hit your cluster.
Thomas Hanser (Untis GmbH)
**The Untis Platform Engineering Journey: GitOps Multi-Tenancy with Flux, GitLab, and Friends**
Operating in the European education sector means juggling compliance, student privacy and massive traffic spikes when school starts. Historically at Untis, keeping this running in production was the burden of a single operations team. This session details our transition to an automated, multi-tenant GitOps platform managing a fleet of internal and external Kubernetes clusters. We share our approach of building a platform that gives product teams actual autonomy without compromising on security or control:
* **Structured Multi-Tenancy:** Mapping GitLab groups to namespaced tenant projects using Flux’s multi-tenant model.
* **Secure Access Control:** Leveraging the GitLab Agent for Kubernetes to enable scoped, declarative self-service cluster access.
* **Flexible Delivery Models:** Supporting multiple decentralized deployment strategies by balancing governance and freedom for both internal teams and external guest environments.
Prepare for an honest demonstration of challenges like managing secret lifecycles across a growing fleet, moving from script-driven tenant onboarding to true automated self-service, and wrestling with the classic "chicken-and-egg" problems of bootstrapping Flux and handling GitOps release management.

Grief Café Vienna – Open Support Group
We’re hosting an open Grief Café at Villa Vida Café, a monthly gathering for young adults who are navigating grief and want a space to talk, listen, or simply be around others who understand.
This is a low-threshold, informal space. You can come as you are.
Event Details
Date: Friday, June 26
Time: 18:00–20:00
Location: Villa Vida Café, Vienna
Entry: Free and open to everyone – NO registration necessary
What to Expect
The Grief Café Vienna offers a setting where grief is not avoided or hidden, but spoken about openly.
There will be a short introduction at the beginning. After that, the space is yours. You can:
Share your experiences
Listen to others
Sit quietly if that’s what you need
Shape the space in a way that feels right for you
There is no pressure to speak. Participation looks different for everyone.
Who Is It For?
This gathering is open to anyone experiencing grief, especially young adults looking for connection outside of clinical or formal settings.
The group is:
Non-religious
Anti-authoritarian
Open to all genders, sexualities, and backgrounds
Why a Grief Café?
Grief can be isolating. Many people don’t have spaces where they can talk about it honestly.
The goal of this grief support group in Vienna is simple:
Create a space where people in similar situations can meet, talk, and support each other.
About the Organisers
This initiative comes from a young adult grief support network that has been meeting informally in smaller groups. This event expands that into a more accessible, shared space.

Accessibility
Villa Vida Café is wheelchair accessible and includes an accessible toilet.
