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.

20:00 Umgezogen in der Halle, Umkleiden sind vorhanden. Damen: Kabine 4 Herren: Kabine 12 * Selbstständiges Aufwärmen * Meistens ein Torwartspiel * Einwerfen (Hin und her passen) * Torwarte einwerfen * Handballspezifische Übungen * Match (falls genug Leute da sind) Training basiert auf dem Plan des Trainers und den anwesenden Personen, kann also ein bisschen abweichen. Da die Mannschaft nach einigen Abgängen momentan etwas kleiner ist, klappt ein Match am Ende nicht immer. Die Einstiegsschwierigkeit ist beim Handball etwas hoch, aber es ist eine sehr belohnende Aktivität. Am besten einfach mal vorbeikommen, ich erkläre und helfe gern bei allen Fragen, im und vor dem Training :) Auch von Vorteil, wenn ihr mich vor dem Vorbeikommen kontaktiert, dann würde ich euch z.B. vor der Halle abholen.

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/)

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.

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.

***MEMBERS ONLY*** Join us for three hours of badminton! This session is open for members of the Sportunion Vienna Badminton Community. We play in a sports hall in Vienna’s 11th district, easily reachable by public transport (U3 Enkplatz / S-Bahn Wien Haidestraße). For further information about the exact location or attendance, please reach out to the host. This event runs under a separate membership format, and participation is deducted from your existing subscription balance. Please bring your own racket, sportswear, indoor shoes, and a water bottle. Feather shuttles are provided, and you can usually borrow a spare racket from another player if needed. If you can’t attend, please cancel at least 24 hours in advance—late cancellations may incur the event fee.

📢 Main event starts at 18:30 CET ⚠️ Different location - near U4 Heiligenstadt This time, we welcome Fridtjof Sterna as our main speaker! When you design function APIs, how do you choose parameter types? C++ offers many ways to pass objects to functions, but choosing the right parameter types for an API often still feels like guesswork. We learn the mechanics and rules, yet rarely step back to ask the fundamental questions that should guide our decisions. In this talk, we revisit parameter passing from first principles. Starting from intent rather than language features, we view a function call as a negotiation between caller and callee, with ownership and mutability as the two key questions at the boundary. This perspective reframes value categories as evidence, demystifies std::move, and leads to a practical decision guide for API design. The goal is to provide a mental model that helps both learners and experienced developers reason more confidently about C++ code. Before the main talk, we'll briefly present our user group to newcomers, and share some news about the world of C++. \- We appreciate any **voluntary donations** on-site. \- Arrive early for pre\-socializing—simple snacks and drinks will be provided\. \- After the event\, we will relocate to [Köö Q19](https://www.billardcafe.at/de/lokale/k-oe-oe-q19-kreilplatz.html) (at your own expense). \- We thank our host\, [42 Vienna](https://www.42vienna.com)!

*GOhio!* turns 8!! 🥳 Come celebrate with us at [Pins Mechanical](https://www.pinsbar.com/locations/easton)! 😄 **Summary** Pins Mechanical Co. is a social entertainment venue that combines old-school games like duckpin bowling, pinball, and other classic arcade and table games with craft cocktails, local beers, and punch. The vintage-industrial atmosphere is designed for playful, face-to-face gatherings with friends, family, and colleagues, offering a casual and lively alternative to a typical bar. Pins' Easton location spans over 38,000 square feet, making it the largest in the United States. This massive entertainment venue features two floors, a mezzanine level with stadium seating, and three full-service bars. It offers 16 duckpin bowling lanes, two indoor bocce courts, and more than 60 classic and modern pinball and arcade games. For additional fun, the location is known for its two outdoor patios, an indoor slide, and an expanded patio pong setup. **Activities** As noted below, some machines take actual quarters. Pins has two change machines (one downstairs and one upstairs) that accept ones, fives, or tens (only), and return quarters (only). * *Duckpin Bowling* [Like Bowling](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duckpin_bowling) but with smaller balls, stubby pins, and no oil on the lanes. The cost is $9 per game per person. * *Pinball* [Who](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Who)'s a [wizard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinball_Wizard) on these [retro machines](https://pinballmap.com/map/?by_location_id=15311)? At $1 per play, everyone! Takes quarters. * *Arcade* Play classics like Gorf, Pac-Man, Gorf, Donkey Kong, Gorf, Galaga, and Gorf! The best part is, there's Gorf! And all the arcade games are free! * *Patio Pong* The classic college party staple but bigger. Instead of tossing a ping pong ball into cups, you use a regular ball and oversized buckets. There are two of these upstairs, and they're both free! * *Ping Pong* The most popular sport in China! They have two ping pong tables downstairs and two more ping pong tables upstairs. For those of you who have studied topological spaces and set theory, you will know this means they have four total ping pong tables. They have bubble gum dispensers with ping pong balls in them for 25¢ each. The dispensers take quarters. However, they also have racks where they store the ping pong paddles, and in these racks are slots for ping pong balls. It's not uncommon to see balls already here, so there's a chance you may be able to play ping pong for free if you want to. * *Hookie* You can't put your eye out! The safe alternative to darts: Hook thrown rings on a board. Outdoors on the upstairs patio, and free! * *Bocce* Like bowling, except there’s turf and a lot more balls. You can also knock your opponent’s balls out of the way. There are two of these upstairs, and they're both free! * *Foosball* Everyone loves [foosball](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_football)! 50¢ a game. Takes quarters. * *Giant Jenga* Stack massive wooden blocks into a tower, then take turns pulling out one block at a time without collapsing the tower. There are four of these sprinkled throughout the venue (two downstairs and two upstairs, with one on each patio), and they're all free! * *Skeeball* There are three skeeball machines on the first floor (near the Gorf machine!), and they're all free! * *Giant Connect Four* On the outdoor patio upstairs, and free! * *Bubble Hockey* This is upstairs. Up to four people can play at once, and it costs $1. Takes quarters. * *Cornhole* There are two cornhole lanes upstairs, and they're both free! * *Basketball* There are two basketball machines downstairs. They're tucked behind the downstairs bar, so they're not always obvious unless you go look for them. They're $2 per play, and they take quarters. * *NES and Sega Genesis video games* These are collections, downstairs (near the Gorf machine!), of video games that you can play for free! * *The Big Metal Indoor Slide* This large two-story slide is for kids, and certainly no adults would ride this. After all, it's not like it's free or anything. **Outdoor Patio** Pins at Easton actually has two outdoor patios. But for our purposes, only the upstairs one matters. See, it will be winter and likely cold. But their upstairs patio has multiple ceiling heaters and two massive gas fire pits that put out a ton of heat. Sitting out here may be a real option. As mentioned above, the upstairs outdoor patio has one of the venue's two Patio Pong setups, one of their multiple Giant Jengas, the Giant Connect Four, and Hookie. **Food** Pins doesn't serve food, but there's a [Mikey's Late Night Slice](https://www.latenightslice.com/) next door. This Mikey's is basically an extension of the Easton Pins; there's a large open doorway between both establishments. Mikey's has a fountain dispenser with Coke products. You can also get Coke and Diet Coke (but not Coke Zero, like you can at Mikey's) at the bars in Pins, but I think the quality of the soda pop from Mikey's fountain is better than that from the bar hoses Pins uses to dispense soft drinks. You are also quite allowed at Pins to either bring food in or order it in via your favorite delivery app. **Parking** I recommend parking in the [Worth Garage](https://eastontowncenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/parking-at-easton-updated-file-sept-25.pdf). It's literally right next door to Pins, and it's free as long as you park on Level 2 or above. They recently started charging people to park on Level 1, and you pay for parking on this level the same way you pay for street parking in Columbus, with the [ParkColumbus](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.parkmobile.parkcolumbus&hl=en_US&pli=1) app. I've seen them enforce this by ticketing people's cars, but I don't know how they actually compel payment. The garage is not a public street that actual cops can write you tickets for parking illegally on. If you have an actual ticket from a cop that you don't pay, they can go so far as to issue a warrant for your arrest. But all Easton has, seemingly, is, "[Please pay our ticket](https://eastonpreferredpark.com/)." Still, in my ongoing efforts to eliminate needless stress and aggravation from my life, I just park above the first Level. The actual address of the garage is [4049 Worth Ave, Columbus, OH 43219](https://www.google.com/maps/place/4049+Worth+Ave,+Columbus,+OH+43219/@40.0542293,-82.9137962,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x88388a86de3af559:0xc1dc8b4661fc834f!8m2!3d40.0542293!4d-82.9137962!16s%2Fg%2F11sgzjp4ml?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDkyNC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D). However, your GPS is stupid. The actual entrances to the garage are on the cross steets Brighton Rose Way and Fenlon St, not Worth Ave. Just keep this in mind once you get to the garage. **Where we'll meet** I'll post in the comments where I am. People will obviously want to explore different areas of the venue over the course of the event (and there's a lot to explore), but please just let me know (as in, come find me) once you've arrived. **Peroration** Come on out and say hi! 😄

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.
