Sessions

Session: Like Spring but faster: The new Java Jedi
Speaker(s): Eric Deandrea
Date/Time: TBD
Abstract: Spring dominates the Java landscape, but are you aware of other similar yet different frameworks out there?

Let me show you Quarkus, the new Java Jedi. I'll expose the cape, digging into the inner workings of both Spring Boot and Quarkus, showing how the concepts and conventions familiar to Spring developers actually work. I'll show what Quarkus does with those same concepts and conventions to make it so resource efficient.

If someone asked you if you wanted to save 50% in your Java application operational costs, wouldn't you be interested? Come to this session to learn how!

Session: Concurrency Crossroads: Choosing between Reactive Programming and Virtual Threads in Quarkus
Speaker(s): Willem Jan Glerum
Date/Time: TBD
Abstract: Reactive programming has been the way to go for extra performance and concurrent programming, now we also have Virtual Threads (Project Loom). Which one should we choose? Can we leverage both? What's the best approach to write high-performance non-blocking code in our application?

In this talk we'll explain the background behind both paradigms and go over the details together. We will cover the advantages and disadvantages of both paradigms using real-world examples in Quarkus. Furthermore, we will tell you the gotchas so you don't have to discover them yourself and we will also look ahead at what's coming next in future Java versions.

We will aim to make this talk as simple as possible and show real code combined with live coding. After this talk you will understand both paradigms and be able to choose the right approach for your next project.
