AWS User Group KRK meetup #76 with Cloudinary
AWS meetups are back in town! This chapter is the 1st one this year and dedicated to **S3.** But we look on the storage from completely different angles:
**From Developer's to Penetration and Security perspective.**
More info soon, and the meantime we reveal topics, and...
🗓 **Save the Date**: Mark your calendar
🍕 + 🍺 = Let's gather around pizza and beer at **Hevre**
or
Watch the stream on [YouTube (Link)](https://youtube.com/live/Tx7lmDVTVKo)
Hosted by:
**Maciej Lelusz**, AWS Hero
AWS Community Builders: **Maria Kmita & Pawel Kusinski**
🎤 **Speakers**:
〰️ *„*"Optimizing S3: A Million-Dollar FinOps Journey"
**Avihay Tsayeg,** Senior Staff DevOps Engineer, Cloudinary
〰️ *„UnS3cure - Buckets full of holes"*
**Paweł Kusiński,** Penetration Tester and Security Researcher
💡 Details about Speakers & Talks💡
**Avihay Tsayeg:**
joined Cloudinary five years ago and is a key member of the Infrastructure group, where he leads the FinOps domain. With over 20 years of experience in software development, specializing in the DevOps–FinOps intersection, Avihay brings deep expertise in cloud cost optimization.
☞ will speak about:
In his talk, he will share actionable strategies for mastering resource cost management within AWS S3.
**Paweł Kusiński:**
Penetration Tester and Security Researcher focused on app and cloud security. His work includes penetration tests and infrastructure audits across a wide range of IT projects. Passionate about knowledge sharing, he leads workshops, gives conference talks, teaches at universities, and is an AWS Community Builder.
Outside of work, he plays CTFs as a member of justCatTheFish and has an unhealthy habit of buying too many Legos - despite having absolutely no space left for them.
☞ will speak about:
Time goes by, AWS keeps adding new security features, and yet year after year, we hear about more data leaks and breaches involving S3 buckets. Data spills by the terabyte, companies apologize, and shortly after, the cycle repeats.
How does this keep happening? What is the core problem? How do attackers find their targets? We’ll walk through the most common methods and configuration mistakes - and if time allows, we’ll try to secure everything properly as well! And who knows - maybe we'll uncover a million-dollar leak during the presentation?

#49 Taiwanese tea tasting : From Honey Notes to High Moun
Dear Tea Lovers
Join us for a guided tasting of unique Taiwanese teas.
We’ll explore how terroir, altitude, and processing shape flavor — from the natural honeyed sweetness of Oriental Beauty to the calming depth of GABA tea and the refined elegance of high-mountain black tea. Along the way, you’ll learn the stories behind these teas and how to taste them mindfully.
This tasting is not only for tea enthusiasts, but also for tea lovers who are simply curious, enjoy good flavors, or want to deepen their appreciation of tea in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. No prior knowledge needed — just bring your senses and curiosity.
We like to be nerdy and going deep into the matter, but don’t be scared if you are a newbie! There is always time for socialization, random chats, discussions and even the chance buy tea if you will!
We’re looking forward to meet you again or for the first time!
Sincerely
Vienna tea lovers team

Pause. Sense. Breathe. Return to yourself.
Due to the strong interest and warm response to the first workshop, this session is returning. In a world of speed, multitasking, and constant stimulation, true presence becomes a rare and powerful skill. This interactive workshop offers a space to slow down, reconnect with your body, and understand how mindfulness and meditation
transforms your brain, your communication, and your moment-to-moment experience.
Through a blend of neuroscience, mindfulness tools, introspection, pair- and group activities, we explore how the brain, body, and nervous system shape the way we
feel, interact, and respond. You’ll learn how posture, breath, emotional signals, and internal narratives influence communication – and how mindful presence can shift
everything.
You’ll explore:
● The neuroscience of mindfulness, meditation and self-awareness.
● How feelings, needs, and body sensations shape your relationships.
● How to meet difficult emotions with curiosity and compassion.
● How to practice RAIN as a gentle, structured process.
● How Metta meditation softens the heart and supports resilience.
● How body language influences communication and nervous system safety.
● How breath and movements bring you back into the present moment.
Ideal for anyone wanting to live and communicate with more clarity, intention, and authenticity – in body, mind, and heart.
Please bring paper and a pen.
Cash donation is appreciated.
One third of the collected donations will be shared with the café, supporting this community space.

Meaningful Conversations: Reducing Suffering
**A Gentle Space for Inner Freedom (A special Meaningful Conversations event)**
Viktor Frankl wrote that even in the most difficult circumstances, one inner freedom remains: the freedom to choose how to react to any given situation.
This event begins in that space.
Pain and challenging situations are part of being human. Life brings loss, sadness, the feeling of injustice, the sense of not being good enough, change, uncertainty, and limitation — often without explanation and without choice.
This gathering is an invitation to pause, to step out of inner struggle for a moment, and to meet life as it is — with dignity and clarity.
Through shared reflections and gentle guidance, the event opens a space where psychological clarity and spiritual depth can be practically experienced rather than just explained.
A calm, respectful space to stop, listen, and reconnect with what remains steady and free, even when life is not.
**This event is especially for you if you’re new to Dieter Langenecker’s work —**
**Or if you’d like to reconnect with it.**
It also offers a natural entry point into **the monthly Meaningful Conversations**,
A gentle, ongoing space for staying connected to what truly matters
And to live with greater depth and contentment.
Tanja Odermatt & Dieter Langenecker
PS: A contribution of € 15,- for room rent, coffee/tea, and cookies will be collected.

Vienna.rb #67 - Ruby Spring Meetup
Join us for the first meetup in 2026! ⭐️
Are you interested in the Ruby language or Ruby on Rails? Join us. We have great talks, good vibes, and yummy snacks! 😋
**Talks**
\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~
🗣️ [Peter Solnica](https://solnic.dev/)
▶️ Structured Logging in Ruby: Where We Are and Where We're Heading
🗒️ Ruby's logging ecosystem is evolving, and there's a lot of momentum to build on. In this talk, we'll explore the current state of logging in Ruby and compare it with ecosystems like Elixir, where a more capable, well-designed logger is built right into the standard library. We'll dive into recent developments in Rails - including its new structured events API - and how they connect to the broader picture of structured logging, error handling, and tracing. Along the way, we'll build a vision for what Ruby's standard library could offer: a powerful, extendable logger that makes structured logging a natural part of every Ruby project.
🗣️ [Marie-Therese Fischer ](https://fischer.codes/)
▶️ Building Games with Ruby
🗒️ What do you end up with when you strip Rails from a Rails developer? Plain Ruby. Join me as I explore the language behind the framework through the lens of game development. By building a simple terminal game and a 2D platformer, I’ll break down the essential building blocks every game is built on - from loops and input handling to visuals. We'll look at how stepping away from the 'magic' of Rails to build games can lead to a deeper understanding of Ruby logic and application structure.
🗣️ [Christoph Lipautz](https://github.com/unused)
▶️ The Art of Testing Nothing
🗒️ Traditional CI/CD pipelines often waste significant resources re-validating unchanged code, creating a bottleneck in the development lifecycle. This session explores the results of my attempts to shift from exhaustive execution to smart omission. I'll discuss how doing nothing turns into a technical strategic advantage while maintaining confidence.

Quarterly Goals Reset for Product Professionals
One of the most valuable parts of this community is the opportunity to think out loud with other product professionals. This session is built for exactly that.
As we wrap up the quarter, it’s a great time to pause and reflect. What’s on track? What needs adjustment? Where could a small shift create bigger impact?
Join fellow product professionals for a focused, interactive conversation designed to help you recalibrate for the next quarter. You’ll have the opportunity to share where you are, hear how others are thinking through similar challenges, and gain fresh perspective you can bring back to your team and organization.
We’ll gather at 8:00AM, with discussion starting promptly at 8:15AM.

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: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”.
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, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process.
We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer.
Thanks to our 2026 sponsors:

Bring a notepad if you'd like 'cause you'll definitely be learning something new.
Each presenter gets 10 minutes max to wow the crowd with:
• A demo
• A real-world business solution
• A bold idea
• A UX transformation
• Or a creative use of the platform
Judging Criteria:
🏆 Business Value
🚀 Innovation
✨ User Experience
This event is about celebrating ideas, sharing knowledge, and showing how ServiceNow can drive both business impact and meaningful user value.
Come learn. Come support. Come get inspired.
Refreshments and bites will be provided.
And maybe next time… you’ll be on stage.
CBusData - Discover the Power of Window Functions
Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” 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.

**A Few Notes:**
✅ This is an **in-person event**
✅ **RSVP does not guarantee a seat** – A confirmation email will be sent one day before the event.
**TALK ABSTRACT:**
AI is all the hype these days; however, despite (or maybe because of) the excitement around it, a high percentage of AI projects fail. Projects that are over budget, delayed, or that fail to scale past the POC phase are very common. In many of these scenarios, choosing the right approach can be as critical as the solution itself. Should you build a tailored machine learning model, leverage the power of large language models (LLMs), or integrate with AI copilots? Each option has unique strengths, trade-offs, and resource requirements, and the key to success lies in aligning your choice with your business goals and technical constraints.
In this talk, we will go beyond the basic concepts and definitions to provide a practical guide that allows attendees to navigate these decisions through real-world case studies. We will examine scenarios in which different AI paradigms were chosen, discuss the factors that influenced those decisions, and outline the process for evaluating needs, constraints, and outcomes. From assessing data availability and team expertise to balancing cost and scalability, you'll gain insights into the critical considerations that guide the selection process.
By the end of this session, you’ll have a clear process for determining whether machine learning, LLMs, or copilots are best suited to your AI challenges and understand the resources and strategies needed to bring your chosen solution to life. This talk is ideal for decision-makers, technical leads, and innovators seeking to demystify AI implementation and maximize the impact of their investments.
