May Erlang/Elixir meetup

Hey Elixir Alchemists, Erlangers and Gleam enthusiasts! 🧙

We are happy to announce our next meetup with an exciting agenda. 📅

Agenda:
17:00 Doors open + mingling
17:30 'Embracing the Monolith: Migrating 21 Java Microservices to Elixir' by Igor Spiridonov
18:10 Questions, next meetup topics, networking, open discussion on Gleam/Erlang/Elixir topics
18:30 Pizza + drinks

Talk description:
In this talk, we’ll explore how we rebuilt a highly fragmented Java-based microservice system, 21 services in total (and no, that’s not the Java version!), into a single Elixir monolith. The goal? To streamline our architecture, reduce operational complexity, and leverage the fault-tolerance and scalability of the BEAM.
You’ll learn how we used event-driven design and customer-isolated state machines to power our energy management and dynamic electricity tariff platform. We’ll walk through key architectural decisions, challenges we faced, and the lessons learned along the way — especially in a domain as complex and dynamic as energy trading.
If you’ve ever wondered when a monolith might actually be a good idea, and how Elixir can help you get there, this talk is for you.

Speaker's bio:
Tech Lead at Coneva GmbH. 6+ years of professional software engineering. 2,5 years in Elixir. Coming from Greece, mix of Greek and Russian living in Munich, Germany for more than 5 years.
