Apeldoorn JUG @ Luminis - Empowering your Development with FP and more

Dear Java developer,
We would like to invite you to a physical Java Meetup at Luminis in Apeldoorn about Empowering Your Development with FP by Ties van de Ven and Lessons Learned from Running Serverless Java Workloads in AWS Lambda by Jeroen Reijn.

Location
Wapenrustlaan 11
7321 DL
Apeldoorn

! This time at our office at the 9th floor, at the reception they can help you to get up in the elevator.

When you arrive before 17:45 you can work at the restaurant in the lounge or reserve a working spot at people@places (at your own costs).

Empowering Your Development with FP
There are a lot of talks about the newest tools libraries and frameworks but sometimes it is good to take a step back and think about the underlying problems they are trying to solve. In this talk we will go into the 4 fundamental aspects within software engineering; problem solving, managing state, managing errors and managing side effects. There will be almost no functional programming terminology used but instead focus on recognizable examples (in Java) and look at them from a different angle that you might have never concidered. So if you want to improve your problem solving skills and get better in abstract thinking without having to learn what a monad is, this is the talk for you.

Lessons Learned from Running Serverless Java Workloads in AWS Lambda
In this talk, we explore the journey of migrating Java applications to Amazon Web Services (AWS). As organizations adopt the cloud and strive for agility and scalability, serverless architecture has emerged as a promising solution. By leveraging AWS Lambda, developers can harness the power of event-driven computing without the burden of managing infrastructure. During the talk we discuss the advantages of serverless computing, including reduced operational overhead, automatic scaling, and cost efficiency. Additionally, we highlight best practices for optimizing Java applications in serverless environments, addressing cold start times, memory management, and performance considerations.
