Recap Cloud Native Computing Meetup September 2026

Yesterday we hosted our Cloud Native Computing Switzerland Meetup at the VSHNtower in Zürich – the latest edition in a series that has been running for nearly a decade now, with over 3,000 members and more than 50 meetups behind us.

It shows: the group currently holds a 4.6 rating from 338 reviews on Meetup, and yesterday’s edition was another good reminder why people keep coming back. Nice people, great talks, and good conversations over the apéro afterwards.

Thank you to our speakers

Benjamin Koltermann (cenroq AG) – How to: securing your clusters. A hands-on look at how Kubernetes clusters can be attacked despite seemingly secure configurations, and how to close those gaps.

Chris Bingham (CTO Switzerland, Fujitsu) – Paddelbuch – How Kiro Changed the Game. An update on paddelbuch.ch, the serverless geospatial system for the Swiss paddle sports community, and how an unexpected conversation at AWS re:Invent 2025 reshaped its technical foundation.

Christian Blättler (zeitlos.software) – A swiss, cloud-native Alternative to Vercel and Heroku. A deep dive into Lucity, his open-source take on Vercel/Heroku-style developer experience, built on standard Kubernetes and Helm, with “ejectability” as a hard design constraint.

Three very different talks, all tied together by the same cloud-native spirit – and plenty of good discussion in the breaks and afterwards at the apéro.

Talk videos coming soon

Videos of all three talks will be up on our YouTube channel soon: vshn.tv – subscribe to get notified.

Next up: November Meetup at Open Systems

Our next CNC Meetup takes place on November 17, 2026, hosted by Open Systems AG in Zürich. We’re still looking for speakers – if you’ve got a cloud-native project, tool, or story worth sharing, submit your talk proposal at cnc-meetup.ch. We’d love to have you on stage.
