Join us at the Backend Meetup event, where we will host two experienced backend engineers 🚀

🔹 What’s happening?
We’ll hear from Aljaž Blazej Team lead at Teads, and Rene Svetina Team lead at Bragg, as they dive into two interesting backend topics:

• The Microservices Survival Guide by Aljaž Blazej

• Discover how to launch a production-ready microservice — complete with observability, discovery, and CI/CD — in under an hour. Unpacking the internal libraries and tooling that helps us run 500+ microservices, enabling real-time request flows, dependency visualizations and more.

• Testing is NOT optional by Rene Svetina

• As codebases grow, robust testing becomes crucial. This talk illustrates how bugs often surface and escalate when testing is inadequate in larger projects, followed by a brief overview of key types of software testing. The insights shared are grounded in real-world experience maintaining a system with over 10,000 integration tests.

🔹 Who should attend?
Anyone working with or interested in backend technologies—developers, architects, students, or anyone eager to dive deeper into backend engineering. The sessions will be in English 🇬🇧.

Be part of the launch and help shape the future of the Slovenian Backend Meetup! 🎉
