Software Engineering Events in Vienna
This is the widest category on Brainberg, because software engineering itself spans a huge range of events: language user groups (Python, Rust, Go, TypeScript, Kotlin, Elixir, Ruby, Zig), framework communities (React, Svelte, Next.js, Vue, Laravel, Django, NixOS), backend architecture tracks, testing and QA tracks (ISTQB certification courses, mutation testing, test-automation workshops), refactoring and DDD circles, hackathons, and the long tail of "thoughtful engineering" meetups that don't fit neatly under any specific stack.
This page narrows the Vienna calendar to Software Engineering events. It's a subset of Austria's wider tech-event schedule, useful when you want something specific to go to in the city this month.
Vienna sustains an active tech-event calendar across AI, software engineering, product, and a growing startup ecosystem. The city benefits from TU Wien's research output and a mix of scaleups and established-enterprise tech teams, giving the calendar a balanced tilt between applied research and engineering-practitioner content.

Designing Safety-Critical Systems in Public Safety
Vienna, 🇦🇹 Austria
This DDD Vienna meetup focuses on how Domain-Driven Design can help structure and evolve complex, safety-critical systems in the Public Safety domain, supporting police, fire and emergency medical services.
- 👉 The first session looks at how business domains have changed over time as products evolved from hardware-centric to software-centric systems.
- 👉 The second session goes deeper into the architecture and explores how Bounded Contexts can help hiding the complexity of voice communication technologies such as SIP, RTP and media handling.
- 👉 Between the sessions and afterwards, the Public Safety demo room will be open, giving participants the opportunity to see a real control room environment in action.

🗣️ Talks
- Talk 1: How Business Domains Evolve: From Hardware- to Software-Centric
Business domains change as products, technologies and organizations evolve. The talk traces how Frequentis has evolved over time, with the Public Safety domain as a concrete example, and how the shift from hardware-centric products to software-centric systems influenced domain boundaries, responsibilities and architecture — and where Domain-Driven Design comes into play. - Talk 2: Hiding Voice Communication Complexity: SIP, RTP and Bounded Contexts
Media handling can bring a lot of technical complexity into larger systems, especially when protocols like the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) are involved. The talk shows how Bounded Contexts, Open Host Services and Anti-Corruption Layers can be used to keep that complexity behind clear boundaries and provide a simpler model to the rest of the system.

AI, please stop guessing a.k.a. Chrome DevTools MCP
We used to think coding was the most difficult part of an engineer’s job. Almost every engineer I know enjoys sharing tales of spending hours debugging, wrestling with stubborn syntax, or churning out countless lines of code to meet a deadline. However, our field has changed drastically in recent months.
Coding is no longer the main challenge. With AI tools like Cursor, Copilot, or ChatGPT, generating code is fast — sometimes too fast. The true bottleneck has shifted elsewhere: to understanding what the application is actually doing, reviewing code, and debugging code generated by AI agents.
Let’s be honest: most of us aren’t working on shiny, clean greenfield demos. We work on real systems used by millions of people. We can’t simply rewrite the entire system overnight, our documentation is rarely perfect, and sometimes we have to maintain that one module built a decade ago. There is always something more pressing on the roadmap than finally replacing legacy components.
This fact remains unchanged by AI: programmers spend significantly more time reading, extending, and fixing existing code than they do generating brand new code. Can AI assist with this, too? Yes, but…

99% Less Coding, More Engineering: Agentic Angular at Enterprise Scale
Since April 2026, I've reduced the amount of Angular code I write manually by ~99%. So why hasn't everything collapsed into AI slop?
In this talk, I'll share my experience with agentic Angular engineering at enterprise scale, what makes it work, and how it fundamentally changes the way we build software.
Less coding, more engineering. And a glimpse into what comes next.
We have a full-day lineup of amazing talks for you! 🎁
More speakers will be announced over the next weeks so stay tuned!
