Almost no one can achieve this. In this talk, we’ll show how Kubernetes can be attacked despite seemingly secure configurations, and how these security gaps can be identified and closed. \-\-\- Talk 2: Chris Bingham, CTO Switzerland, Fujitsu Paddelbuch – How Kiro Changed the Game In 2024 I presented the history of paddelbuch.ch - serverless geospatial information system built on AWS to support the Swiss paddle sports community. Then Kiro arrived! So what happened next? What did I accomplish with Kiro? And how did one, unexpected, conversation at AWS re:Invent 2025 massively change the technical underpinnings of Paddelbuch? All these questions and perhaps more will be answered in this session. \-\-\- Talk 3: Christian Blättler, zeitlos.software A swiss, cloud-native Alternative to Vercel and Heroku Vercel and Heroku make it easy to deploy your apps but hard to leave. Lucity is my open-source take on the same developer experience, built on standard Kubernetes and Helm, with one hard constraint: you can eject at any time and keep running without it. I'd like to go deep on these decisions that are driven by the ejectability constraint of Lucity: – why Lucity has no Database and how it derives its entire state from Kubernetes and it's surrounding systems. – why Lucity discovery state lucity.dev/\ labels instead o
