Schluss mit starren Systemen: Architektur ohne Sackgassen & KI ohne Limits
Frameworks, Patterns und Deployment-Modelle â oft steht die Architektur eines Systems schon fest, bevor ĂŒberhaupt klar ist, was es leisten muss. Aber was, wenn wir den SpieĂ einfach umdrehen? In diesem Meetup decken wir auf, wie Architektur organisch aus den echten QualitĂ€tszielen eines Systems entstehen kann. Stefan Priebsch zeigt, wie "Domain-Driven Architecture" funktioniert und warum wir uns nicht lĂ€nger in voreiligen technologischen Sackgassen verrennen sollten.
Aber damit nicht genug: Auch in der KI-Welt stoĂen wir an harte Grenzen. LLMs sind zwar die aktuellen Stars am Tech-Himmel, aber ihre klassischen Transformer-Modelle fressen Speicher und sprengen bei langen Sequenzen schnell das Budget. Anastasia Hort nimmt uns mit in die Zukunft und erklĂ€rt, warum âLiquid Foundation Modelsâ (LFMs) der nĂ€chste logische Schritt sind. Was wĂ€re, wenn neuronale Netze so flexibel wie biologische Systeme und so effizient wie klassische Differentialgleichungen arbeiten könnten?
Sei dabei, wenn wir hinter die Kulissen blicken und die Evolution von zukunftssicheren Softwarearchitekturen und der nÀchsten KI-Generation beleuchten.
**\*\*\* Agenda \*\*\***

18:00 Uhr \| Liquid Foundation Models: Jenseits klassischer LLMs \- Anastasia Hort
18:45 Uhr \| Domain\-Driven Architecture \- Stefan Priebsch
19:30 Uhr \| GetTogether
Wir sind Partner der ROSIK.
**\*\*\* Unsere VortrÀge \*\*\***
**Liquid Foundation Models: Jenseits klassischer LLMs - Anastasia Hort**
LLMs haben in wenigen Jahren unsere Art zu arbeiten, zu programmieren und zu kommunizieren grundlegend verÀndert. WÀhrend manche sie skeptisch betrachten und andere sie nahezu vergöttern, suchen viele nach Wegen, ihr Potenzial effizient auszuschöpfen.
Doch klassische Transformer-Modelle stoĂen zunehmend an ihre Grenzen: Die quadratische KomplexitĂ€t der Attention und der speicherintensive KV-Cache machen die Verarbeitung langer Sequenzen extrem kostspielig.
Was wÀre, wenn neuronale Netze so flexibel wie biologische Systeme und zugleich so effizient wie klassische Differentialgleichungen sein könnten? In diesem Vortrag werfen wir einen Blick auf eine neue Modellgeneration: Liquid Foundation Models (LFMs). Wir analysieren den Paradigmenwechsel von statischen Gewichten hin zu dynamischen, zeitkontinuierlichen Systemen.
**Domain-Driven Architecture - Stefan Priebsch**
HĂ€ufig entsteht Architektur sehr frĂŒh durch technologische Entscheidungen, etwa durch die Wahl von Frameworks, Architekturstilen oder Deployment-Modellen. Doch was wĂ€re, wenn wir diesen Prozess umkehren wĂŒrden? Wenn Architektur lediglich aus den QualitĂ€tseigenschaften eines Systems hervorgeht und sich evolutionĂ€r weiterentwickelt?
In diesem Vortrag wird Domain-Driven Architecture vorgestellt, ein neues, leichtgewichtiges Vorgehensmodell. Es ist von Domain-Driven Design inspiriert und dessen Prinzipien werden gezielt auf architektonische Entscheidungsprozesse ĂŒbertragen. Dabei steht nicht nur die Modellierung im Vordergrund, sondern die bewusste Gestaltung einer langlebigen Architektur mit kurzlebigen Implementierungen, die sich anhand konkreter Schwellenwerte weiterentwickeln. Anhand realer Projektbeispiele lernen wir, wie das in der Praxis funktioniert. So entsteht eine Architektur, die gezielte und kontrollierte VerĂ€nderungen ermöglicht, ohne durch technologische Festlegungen frĂŒhzeitig eingeschrĂ€nkt zu werden.
Der Vortrag richtet sich an alle, die Architektur als evolutive Disziplin verstehen wollen, also als etwas, das bewusst entworfen, kontinuierlich bewertet und weiterentwickelt wird, wÀhrend sich DomÀne und Anforderungen stetig verÀndern.
**\*\*\* Unsere Speaker \*\*\***
**Anastasia Hort** ist Software Engineer bei QAware. In ihrer Masterarbeit beschĂ€ftigte sie sich mit Data Science und vertiefte dabei ihr Interesse an datengetriebenen Methoden und Machine Learning. Besonders fasziniert sie, wie Modellierung und Algorithmen helfen können, Ordnung in komplexe, unsichere Systeme zu bringen. In ihrer Freizeit nĂ€ht sie gerne und liebt es, aus einem simplen StoffstĂŒck mit KreativitĂ€t und eigenen Ideen etwas Einzigartiges zu erschaffen.
**Stefan Priebsch** ist Berater fĂŒr Software-Erfolg. Mit ĂŒber 30 Jahren Erfahrung als Berater, Coach, Trainer, UniversitĂ€tsdozent und Keynote-Speaker hilft er Unternehmen dabei, komplexe Software in vorhersehbaren GeschĂ€ftswert umzuwandeln.
Er hat einen Abschluss in Informatik, ist Erfinder von zwei Patenten und Autor mehrerer FachbĂŒcher. Er hĂ€lt regelmĂ€Ăig VortrĂ€ge auf internationalen Konferenzen, wo er konventionelles Denken hinterfragt und Unternehmen dabei hilft, nachhaltige, weiterentwickelbare Systeme aufzubauen.
Stefan ist bekannt dafĂŒr, architektonische Klarheit mit geschĂ€ftlicher Wirkung zu verbinden. Dabei konzentriert er sich auf Softwarearchitektur, domĂ€nengetriebenes Design und entscheidungsorientierte Transformation, um Technologie mit strategischen Zielen in Einklang zu bringen.

CBusData - Discover the Power of Window Functions
Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a âwindowâ to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems:
* Using running totals
* Performing operations in intervals
* Identifying data gaps and islands
* Performing aggregates without losing detail
Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.
Data & Analytics Wednesday - Google Analytics Alternatives
**Google Analytics Alternatives**
Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday.
Since then: Googleâs Universal Analytics has been sunset, weâve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book âGoogle Analytics Alternativesâ.
Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GAâs market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You wonât find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of whatâs currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process.
Weâll also be giving out some free copies of Jasonâs book! So even if youâve got a âGA4Lyfeâ tattoo (no judgement), thereâs free books to go with the free pizza and beer.
