Unser wunderschöner Altbaukeller bietet ein echtes **Underground-Feeling** mit einer intimen Atmosphäre, die dir das Gefühl gibt, Teil von etwas Besonderem zu sein. ## 🤔 Was ist ein Open Mic? Ein Open Mic ist die Werkstatt der Stand-up-Comedy. Hier entstehen neue Bits, werden Witze gefeilt und spontane Momente geboren. Mal landet ein Joke punktgenau, mal scheitert er glorreich – aber genau das macht den Reiz aus. Das Publikum erlebt Comedy **ungeschönt, unzensiert und hautnah**. ## 🍻 The Comedy Pub – Pub oben, Lacher unten Der **Comedy Pub** ist einzigartig in Wien: oben Irish Pub mit kalten Drinks und lebendiger Atmosphäre, unten Altbaukeller mit Comedy-Club-Flair. Eine perfekte Kombination, um nach der Arbeit in die Woche zu starten: erst ein Bier an der Bar, dann ein Abend voller Lacher im Keller. Adresse: Kettenbrückengasse 7, 1050 Wien – direkt bei der U4-Station Kettenbrückengasse. ## 💡 Eintritt frei – Spenden willkommen Comedy lebt vom Publikum. Deine Reaktionen – Lachen, Klatschen oder auch mal Schweigen – helfen den Comedians, besser zu werden. Deshalb ist der Eintritt kostenlos, aber Spenden sind ausdrücklich erwünscht. Wenn du lachst, wirf ein paar Münzen in den Hut – das ist die ehrlichste Form von Applaus. ## 🎟️ Regeln für das Publikum Damit alle eine gute Zeit haben, bitten wir dich um ein paar einfache Dinge: * Sei pünktlich – Comedy wartet nicht. * Respektiere die Bühne – keine Gespräche während der Show. * Lachen ist Pflicht! (und zwar laut 😉) * Kein Heckling – wirklich, das endet nie gut. * Spenden sind Liebe. Zeig den Comedians, dass sie dich zum Lachen gebracht haben. ## 🎉 Warum Dienstag? Weil die Woche besser startet, wenn du lachst. **Comedy im Keller** ist der perfekte Anti-Dienstags-Blues: frisch, roh, nahbar und immer überraschend.

📖 Time to revisit our classic format and **talk about a great book** again🤩! At our May event, we'll discuss **Vivienne Ming's** “***Robotproof: When Machines Have All The Answers, Build Better People***”. Vivienne is is an American theoretical neuroscientist and artificial intelligence expert, and a self-professed Professional Mad Scientist. Her life and work are both extraordinary, and her latest book provides an actionable framework for rising above the “*the homogenized, vanilla world associated with AI”* (Forbes). There’s lots to mull over, get inspired by, and take home from her writing - so don’t hesitate and join the discussion! Don’t worry if life is too busy to read a whole book: It is absolutely not mandatory. We’ll provide enough information so everyone can learn something and connect insights to their own thinking and experiences. If you want to familiarise yourself with the author’s work, there are lots of podcasts you can listen to, like this one: [https://podcasts.apple.com/at/podcast/stop-letting-ai-think-for-you-dr-vivienne-ming/id212382281?i=1000758167430](https://podcasts.apple.com/at/podcast/stop-letting-ai-think-for-you-dr-vivienne-ming/id212382281?i=1000758167430) There’ll also be time for **networking and conversation** over drinks and snacks (donations welcome, please bring some cash 😊). By participating, you agree that your likeness may be recorded and authorise UX Vienna to use any such recordings for event documentation and promotional purposes.

Bring your JS interest and a good vibe! Everybody is welcome & feel free to share this invitation! **Talks and info:** All details: [https://viennajs.org/en/meetup/vienna-js-may-2026](https://viennajs.org/en/meetup/vienna-js-may-2026) **Timetable:** * 18:00: Gathering, food & drinks * \~18:45 - 19:00: Start of the first talk **Talks:** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 🗣️ Edouard Maleix ▶️ Context That Compounds: What I Learned Building a Memory Lifecycle for Coding Agents Most teams manage agent context with static rule files — CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, custom YAML checklists, skills, etc. I do too. Then I tracked what actually happened: agents repeated the same mistakes across sessions, rules accumulated without evidence they helped, and review load stayed constant no matter how many rules I added.This talk covers what I learned building and testing a different approach: treating context as a living artifact with a lifecycle — generated from real incidents, curated for gaps, compiled to token budgets, and evaluated before injection. The key insight: context you can't measure is context you can't improve.I'll walk through three concrete problems and the patterns I found to address them: 1. **Attribution** — when an agent opens a PR, you can't tell what it wrote, why, or whether a human reviewed it. Giving agents their own signing keys and git identity changes code review from guessing to auditing. 2. **Memory that persists** — Monday you correct an agent, Tuesday it makes the same mistake. I built a typed diary (episodic, procedural, semantic, reflection entries) that survives across sessions and compiles into token-budget context packs. The difference vs. static rules: rules authored from memory can't compound; entries harvested from incidents can. 3. **Evaluating context, not just code** — SWE-bench tests whether agents can fix bugs. I needed something different: does this context pack actually help the agent avoid known mistakes? I'll show why scenarios harvested from real incidents (20–67% baseline → 95–100% with context) wildly outperform auto-generated ones.The talk is grounded in real workflows, real failures, and real data. The patterns — identity, lifecycle-based memory, context-as-testable-artifact — are applicable regardless of which agent or framework you use. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 🗣️ Speaker to be announced \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **🗣️Want to give a Talk?** ▶️ [https://viennajs.org/en/participate/give-a-talk](https://viennajs.org/en/participate/give-a-talk) **Location:** Dynatrace Austria GmbH THE ICON VIENNA ***Tower 24 - 22nd Floor*** Wiedner Gürtel 13, 1100 Vienna When you arrive in the ICON tower, walk straight to the info point and ask for a visitor’s card for Dynatrace (**22nd floor**). They will explain the way to Tower 24. Walk through the 1st glass door. At the 2nd glass door, you will need your visitor’s card (left side) and hold it against the card reader to open. Hold your visitor card against the card reader at the turnstiles, walk through it, and look at the screen on your slide (while entering). Don’t move too close to the gate before using your card, as it might block you. The screen will display a letter (A-D) about which elevator you need to take. You can also check your designated elevator by holding the card under one of the elevator screen panels. At the elevator entrance is a small display showing you the floor where it is going -> enter if you see the number 22. **Sponsor:** 🙏 Dynatrace Dynatrace definitely is one of Austria’s big success stories in recent history.

[VIBE CODE WEDNESDAY] is a weekly gathering of people, hosted by weXelerate, where we are building things with AI — and we'd love for you to join us. Here's the idea: everyone has a mile-long to-do list and a bunch of ideas they never get around to. Things that don't get scheduled don't get done. So we made it a thing. Every Wednesday at weXelerate in Vienna, we block off the time and vibe code together. Think of it like your weekly gym session — except instead of lifting weights, you're finally building that thing you've been putting off for months. Two reasons people keep coming back: you actually get stuff done, and you're not alone in the room and meet new people. Someone next to you just found a tool you've never heard of or you get honest feedback on your idea. That kind of casual knowledge sharing is hard to find — and it happens naturally here. From pros to newbies everyone is welcome. No experience required. No pressure. Just show up and build. Wednesdays @ weXelerate, Praterstraße 1, 1020 Vienna

Welcome to our May Meetup event for great talks, discussions and beers. We will meet at the Dynatrace office, thanks for hosting! **Agenda**: * Doors open 5:30 p.m. * ***Talk 1: 6:00 to 6:30 p.m.*** * **Speaker**: Philipp Maier * **Title**: Beyond the Fork: A 2026 Perspective on Terraform and OpenTofu * **Abstract**: Both Terraform and OpenTofu are industry-standard tools used to automate the provisioning and management of infrastructure through code. In this session, we will start at Commit b145fbc from 2023 and shortly review what happened back then and how OpenTofu started. We will then explore the technical divergence between Terraform and OpenTofu as of 2026 and how their managed ecosystems have evolved, looking at the practical trade-offs for our own projects. * **Break: 6:30 to 6:45 p.m.** * ***Talk 2: 6:45 to 7:30 p.m.*** * **Speaker**: Sahil Sharma * **Title**: Kafka on Kubernetes: Building a Full-Stack Streaming Environment with Strimzi. * **Abstract:** Running Apache Kafka on Kubernetes was once considered a daunting task. However, the Strimzi operator has simplified this process, making it possible to manage complex streaming infrastructure through a declarative approach. In this session, we will demonstrate how to bridge the gap between local development and production patterns by deploying a full-stack Kafka environment inside a Kind cluster. We will walk through a live setup including: \- Cluster Provisioning: Using Strimzi to deploy a functional Kafka cluster in seconds\. \- Management & Visibility: Integrating Kafbat UI to inspect topics and messages\. \- Observability: Implementing a Grafana and Prometheus \+ AlertManager stack to track broker health and consumer lag\. \- Application Flow: Deploying a producer and consumer to validate the end\-to\-end data pipeline using Confluent library\. Whether you are building a local sandbox or planning a larger rollout, you will leave with a repeatable template for a fully observable Kafka ecosystem on Kubernetes. * **Networking**: start 7:45 p.m.

*This event is free of charge and only takes place on-site!* *Language of the Meetup: ENGLISH 🇬🇧* **Talk #1: Architecting relationship-aware long-term memory for AI agents** [Tarun Jain, Founding Engineer and GDE in AI] Most developers building AI Agents focus on reasoning and planning, but quietly ignore what matters most: Memory. Stateless agents respond in isolation, while stateful agents unlock real capability by remembering and building over time. The problem becomes clear when Agents need to connect facts or track how information changes, where vector search alone starts to break down. Retrieval can fetch data, but only knowledge graphs can structure relationships and enable true multi-step reasoning over time. In this session, I will showcase how memory works in the backend, including a live visualization of fact extraction and graph construction in working code. The primary focus will be on edge cases, especially the hybrid vector graph approach, where semantic search and structured traversal are combined to handle multi-hop reasoning and temporal changes by considering the Cognee open-source framework. Furthermore, I will showcase a working demo of Memory, featuring visualization and a user journey, via Streamlit. **Talk #2: Anatomy of a Supply Chain Attack: From Compromise to Countermeasure [**[Valentin Goronjic](https://www.linkedin.com/in/valentingoronjic/) (Lead Software Engineer), [Tamas Neumer](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tamas-neumer/) (Lead Cloud Engineer) at [Posedio GmbH](https://www.linkedin.com/company/posedio/)**]** In March 2026, attackers compromised Trivy, the open source container scanner thousands of teams rely on to find vulnerabilities. The exploit scanned the CI environment for a wide range of credentials and exfiltrated whatever it found. Trivy isn't alone, countless similar attacks have taken place the past month. The goal of this talk is twofold. First, to raise awareness of these attacks, how they happen and what to expect once you're compromised. Second, to look at what's in GCP's toolbox to mitigate such incidents. — 📅 **May 28th, 2026, from 17:30** 📍 **Location:** weXelerate Auditorium, Praterstraße 1, 1020 Vienna 🚇 **Approach:** U1/U4 to Schwedenplatz, entrance via Taborstraße or Praterstraße.

**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 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod. **YouTube Link** https://youtube.com/live/BltmWMH1zG0?feature=share
