SPECIAL MEETUP IN BERLIN

On Tuesday the 2nd of April we are inviting all interested to join our traditional MicroXchg Special Meetup. This time we will have a talk about the just released framework Quarkus by Peter Palaga from Red Hat and a talk on Helm by Reinhard Nägele from codecentric. Both are maintainers/contributors to these fantastic pieces of Open Source Software!

We assemble at 18:30 and we start the talk from Peter at 19:00 and continue with Reinhard's talk at 20:00. Afterwards we are looking forward to discussions and socializing while enjoying food and cold beverages.

Talk: Quarkus – Supersonic Subatomic Java!

Java web application ready to serve requests <20 milliseconds after start and occupying <20 MB of memory? With Hibernate ORM connected to PostgreSQL, RESTEasy, CDI and transactions?
Come and see how Quarkus makes all the above possible on top of GraalVM using a new technique called Compile Time Boot. Learn how it eliminates reflection and other runtime costs.
This may sound geeky, but Quarkus still offers the first class developer experience: it shields you perfectly from the complexity of GraalVM, there is development mode with instant reload, it is easy for the 80% most common use cases and flexible for the remaining 20%. You do not need to learn new technologies, because Quarkus supports existing best of breed libs and standards, such as Hibernate/JPA, JTA, CDI, JAX-RS, Eclipse MicroProfile and much more!

Talk: Helm – The Better Way to Deploy on Kubernetes!

Helm is the official package manager for Kubernetes. This session introduces Helm and illustrates its advantages over “kubectl” with plain Kubernetes manifests. We will learn about its architecture and features, such as lifecycle management, parameterizability using Go templating, chart dependencies, etc. Demos will explain how all the bits and pieces work together. Besides, an outlook on the upcoming Helm 3 major release will be provided as well as tips and tricks for testing and hosting Helm charts.
