Agenda: 18:00 Doors Open 18:20 Welcome+Orga stuff 18:30 Multithreading under the lens - Marco Sussitz + Christian Lutnik / dynatrace 19:30 Break, Networking 19:55 Raffle 20:00 Own Your Domain Before It Owns You - Philipp Seifert-Kehrer + Leo Bowen Wang / Posedio 21:15 Networking **Multithreading under the lens: what is VMLens and how can it help you? - Marco Sussitz & Christian Lutnik, dynatrace** I am sure that we all know how difficult it can be to write correct multithreaded code. Race conditions, deadlocks, and memory visibility issues can introduce bugs into your code that are nearly impossible to find in your unit tests. In this talk, we will see how VMLens can help you find those bugs in your program. And how you're able to write unit tests that can show you if your multithreaded code is incorrect. We will also take a look at how VMLens is even able to do so. **About Marco Sussitz** Marco Sussitz is an engineer at Dynatrace who lives at the boundary of Java and C++. He writes JVMTI agents, instruments bytecode, and digs into JIT, memory, and thread behavior. You'll often find him sorting out class loaders or, reading the spec longer than he should. Before Dynatrace, he worked on cloud video encoding with FFmpeg. Off hours he's bouldering or in the mountains. **About Christian Lutnik** Christian has been programming since his early teenage years. In this time, he has developed a passion for efficient code that does not crack under pressure. Starting with the most basic Android games even before Unity was cool, he quickly adapted to new technologies. He is now employed at Dynatrace, a company that is just as convinced as he is that software needs to work perfectly. There, he works together with the open-source community and an amazing team on making feature flagging fun for everyone with OpenFeature. **Own Your Domain Before It Owns You** It's bugs that make Software tumble, but it's blurred boundaries that make it collapse for good. In case of doubt, experts will simply slap the "Domain-Driven-Design" label around, but what does that even mean and how can we actually put something like that into practice? In this talk we will take a look at what Modularity across your Domains actually boils down to, why it even is a necessity to stay sane and how to actually implement it into your Java systems. We'll take a look at how bounded contexts should be your best friends as a developer and why everything is an API. Expect fun anectdotes from mistakes we made in the past, a philosophical deep dive into organized coding and practical guidance for building systems that are not even that terrible to maintain. **About Philipp Seifert-Kehrer** Philipp is an Engineer with a knack for creating full-fledged Software solutions, always considering the bigger picture and never forgetting the human element. Having been around the block, covering industries from finance to retail and technologies from legacy to cutting-edge — Philipp has seen it all. That taught him that ‘fancy’ is hardly ever better and solidified his no-BS approach to problem-solving. Outside of work, he loves spoiling his cats and carrying his baby-daughter around town. **About Leo Bowen Wang** Leo is one of the newer additions at Posedio bringing profound experience as a Java Software Developer with him. Equipped with a next-man-up mentality almost to a flaw there is no issue he won’t tackle immediately by rolling up his sleeves and getting at it. Neither Spring, Containers, CI/CD nor scalable systems such as microservice architecture are foreign concepts to him and he is adding to his relatively young skillset on a daily basis. In any case keep a close eye on him or even an ear when he’s on his side hustle as a DJ.

PCE - "Philosophic Conversation in English" is a discussion event in English language which focuses on psychology, philosophy, self-consciousness and self-realization. The conversation is based on inclusive discussion rules. We will meet at at a restaurant where we will have a private room exclusively reserved for our event. At the beginning we will choose the topic to discuss. Everybody can suggest a topic. Then we will vote what to discuss. The person who suggested the winning topic will then explain his idea of the topic. Afterwards everybody gets his/her chance to make a statement. But you can also decide to remain silent and only listen, if you prefer that. We have a time limit for statements, so that everybody has enough time to speak. It is not allowed to interrupt somebody who is speaking. After a statement everybody can ask a question and the speaker will answer. After the first part there will be a 10 minutes break before we start the second part. Everybody is welcome to our event: We are interested in your thoughts and opinions! It is no problem if you arrive late and you can also leave whenever you want. Please check out last event's topics via this link: [http://pce-topic.project-website.org](http://pce-topic.project-website.org/)

**What is Innate Dance?** Innate Dance is a joyful approach to movement, which invites deeper embodiment and self-connection through butoh inspired movement, Noguchi Taiso exercises, the Seki Method, somatic attention and imagination. We shake it out, breaking up stuck energy held in the body, and explore new movement possibilities from a place of alignment and sensitivity. Thanks to our open awareness we can be surprised by lesser-known parts of ourselves and come to appreciate our innate wisdom in movement. Through exercises, explorations and improvisations we build trust in the body that knows how it would like to move and express itself, and when we follow our innate dance, it just feels good! There is also time and space to dance freely, to enjoy the music in your body and to let go! Ultimately, it's about feeling more 'in' our body and grounding joy. **When? Where? How much?** **Mondays 19:30-21:00** in Studio 2, Tanz\*Hotel, Zirkusgasse 35, 1020 Wien Try out € 14\,\- \| One class € 17\,\- \| Student € 10\,\- \| 5 x class pass €80\,\- \| 10 x class pass € 150\,\- **Who teaches the course?** Jess is a dancer and psychotherapist (humanistic and integrative), who loves shaping classes that offer the space to explore the many facets of being human. Sometimes this learning involves physically embodying non-humans like trees, fish and wind, so we can get out of our limited-human-thinking-mind and into the bigger wisdom available through imagination and our body. At other times it's about dancing textures, sensations or taking on the energy of parts of ourselves so we can know them better. Jess has danced all her life and has been exploring butoh dance for the past eleven years alongside her psychotherapeutic practice. She co-authored *The Seki Method* (soon to be published!), is a Seki Method Facilitator, and was a 2024 student at the Im_Flieger Schule researching dance and healing.

Join us for an upcoming research seminar held by Dr. Philipp Zahn exploring the design of digital trade instruments from a rigorous engineering and economic standpoint. This session approaches short-term credit and payment obligations: formally specified systems that coordinate incentives, information, and settlement across multiple parties under uncertainty. The talk examines the underlying primitives and design choices required to construct legally robust, economically sound, and computationally verifiable trade instruments in a digital setting. This session will explore: • The economic and legal foundations of trade instruments as transferable payment obligations • Mechanism design challenges in multi-party, multi-tier trade environments • Formal modeling of lifecycle events: issuance, transfer, netting, default, and settlement • How token-engineering methods (specification, simulation, stress-testing) can be applied to real-economy credit mechanisms • Implications for market design, risk allocation, and information flow in digitally mediated trade finance The seminar is aimed at researchers and practitioners interested in mechanism design, applied cryptography, market engineering, and the interface between legal institutions and programmable financial systems.

This first meeting is about getting to know each other. We are launching a small, thoughtful business book club in Vienna for founders, entrepreneurs, operators, and intellectually curious professionals who value deep thinking, honest conversation, and strong community. The goal of this first session is not to discuss a specific book, but to meet, talk, and understand who is in the room. At this meeting: * You do not need to read anything beforehand * We will introduce ourselves and share interests * We will talk about what topics and books genuinely interest the group * Together we will decide on the future format and reading plan

After the quiet time of the year, let's jump into 2026 with the first edition of the Cloud Native Vienna Meetup! We are back with two deep-dive talks and plenty of time to reconnect with friends in the Viennese cloud native community. A big thank you to **Triscon** for hosting us and providing food and drinks! The meetup will take place at the **Impact Hub Vienna** (Lindengasse 56, 1070 Vienna). **Agenda:** * **17:30:** Doors Open & Networking * **17:55:** Welcome from the Organizers * **18:00:** **Talk 1:** Roman Ferstl – **Break it till you make it - Pushing systems to their limits with load and performance testing** * **18:45:** Break & Refreshments * **19:00:** **Talk 2:** Stephan Kraft & Philipp Bergsmann – ***Multi-factor authentication for Workload Identities w/ SPIFFE & SPIRE*** * **19:45:** Open Networking We look forward to seeing you there! \-\-\- **Talks:** Roman Ferstl (Triscon) **Break it till you make it - Pushing systems to their limits with load and performance testing** Every system has a breaking point. The trick is finding it before your users do. In this talk, Roman Ferstl explores how load and performance testing can be used not just as a checkbox activity, but as a detective’s toolkit for uncovering hidden bottlenecks, weak links, and unexpected system behaviors. Along the way, he will explain the key principles of effective load testing, demystify how the underlying tools actually work, and highlight widely used open-source and commercial options that attendees can try out themselves. To bring these ideas to life, Roman will run a live demo in a cloud-native environment: flooding a Kubernetes cluster with load, watching pods scale up in real time, and observing what really happens when theory meets traffic. You’ll leave with both practical techniques and a front-row seat to systems pushed to their limits—and beyond. Bio: Roman Ferstl is the founder of Triscon, the go-to company for performance engineering. With an MSc in Astrophysics and a background as a software developer, Roman has always been drawn to solving complex problems. After several years in software engineering, he launched Triscon in 2018, building it into a well-established specialist in making systems faster, more reliable, and more resilient. At Triscon, he and his team pioneer new approaches in performance monitoring and engineering—from automating test design to embedding performance tests seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines. Roman is particularly passionate about going beyond traditional load testing by leveraging modern observability solutions to uncover not just symptoms, but the true root causes of performance bottlenecks. When systems bend under pressure, Roman enjoys being the detective who figures out why—and how to make them stronger. Stefan Kraft & Philipp Bergsmann (RedHat) ***Multi-factor authentication for Workload Identities w/ SPIFFE & SPIRE*** Authentication only with username & password is simply not state of the art, some (EU) regulations even explicity asks for using at minimum a second factor. But what about workload identities? How can they be multi-factorized? SPIFFE/SPIRE provides a proven, stable, hybrid-cloud capable solution for workloads to get authenticated w/o the hassle of managing secrets. In this talk, we will explain the architecture, discuss use-cases and show a live demo. Bios: Stephan has joined Red Hat 2019 as a Business Development Professional in Austria. He started his professional career as a Software Developer and later moved into Technical Sales, Solution Sales and Management. He was working for several companies in and around IT, particularly IBM and SWIFT. After a personal time-out, he has spent 3 years at universities as a program director of a Master and MBA program around Digital Transformation. This has lead him smoothly to Red Hat where he enjoys engaging with customers and partners around technical and cultural transformations. Philipp is part of the EMEA OpenShift Black Belt team at Red Hat, focusing on the managed cloud offerings. He has worked in the IT industry for about 20 years in various roles, from development to cloud infrastructure consulting. Over the last few years, Philipp has worked extensively on Kubernetes-related topics, planning and implementing Kubernetes platforms with various local and international companies.

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** GitHub Copilot is rapidly changing how developers write, understand, and maintain code. Powered by generative AI and deeply integrated into modern development environments, Copilot acts as an intelligent coding assistant, helping developers move faster while maintaining quality and focus. In this session, we’ll explore what GitHub Copilot is, how it works, and where it fits into a real-world developer workflow. We’ll break down what Copilot can (and cannot) do, where it can be used, and how licensing differs for individuals and organizations. Most importantly, this talk goes beyond theory with a live, hands-on demo showcasing Copilot inside the IDE and on GitHub, demonstrating how it can assist with code generation, refactoring, learning new APIs, and accelerating day-to-day development tasks. Designed for developers, technical leads, and engineering managers, this session provides a practical introduction to AI-assisted development, highlights best practices for getting value from Copilot, and closes with guidance on how to continue learning and evolving alongside this rapidly advancing tool. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how GitHub Copilot can enhance productivity, improve developer experience, and fit into modern software teams today, not someday. **YouTube Link** TBA

2026 may be the last year many developers write code by hand. We need coding agents to solve complex problems in production codebases, but vibe coding alone won’t get us there. Vibe coding is all gas, no brakes. It burns up the context window until the agent slips on its own slop. You can go fast at first, but the more you stuff into the context window, the more tangled its outputs get. While the industry is rapidly increasing code generation speed, we still have to understand, review, merge, and maintain what gets shipped. This talk featuring Michael Geiger will outline how coding agents (Claude Code + Gas Town) work and a framework for orchestrating them to solve complicated problems in complex codebases. It’s about steering the model: doing the research to align intent, planning the approach up front, implementing in parallel steps, and breaking early. Human judgment still matters, but it should be spent on high-leverage decisions: what to build, what to forbid, and “what is quality?”, not cleaning up slop. Attendees will leave with a checklist to identify workflow and environment gaps that hold agents back, so you and your team can ship higher-quality software starting tomorrow.

This is a free, in person meeting. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
