Join us at the next Google Cloud Budapest meetup, where three Application Development experts from Aliz will share their experiences on Google Cloud.

=================

**Talk 1: AppDev basics on Google Cloud Platform (Gábor Motkó & Gergely Sipos)**

If you’re new to application development on GCP, we’ll show you two different approaches to build simple applications.

**For a client**
We were supporting an enterprise client in their rip and replace migration into the cloud. We built a simple and compelling application for them, making use of GCP best practices as much as possible. Tech stack spoiler: terraform, Java17, Spring Boot, Cloud Run, GCS, CloudSQL, Cloud Tasks and other GCP services

**For ourselves**
If you’re considering starting a relatively small project, and wondering what tools to choose to deliver quickly and efficiently, we’ll show you our recently started app: EMMA. EMMA is an in-house initiative for our employees supporting a variety of company processes. It is built on our preexisting choice of tools, combining them into a unified experience. Since EMMA is an internal tool, our development focus is on delivering value with relatively small effort. Tech stack spoiler: React, TypeScript, Material UI, Vercel, Firebase, GCP.

**Talk 2: Filling XFA PDF forms for fun and profit (Ármin Scipiades)**

Have you ever wanted to fill PDF forms programmatically, using Java? No? Well, the problem did come up every four years in my career as a software developer, so I figured I'd share the solution with you. It may prove useful to some of you, someday, perhaps, in a somewhat bizarre set of circumstances.

We'll look at PDF manipulation tools, discard iText for being expensive, and use Apache PDFBox to fill forms, only to be utterly stumped by the horrid things called "XFA forms." We'll have a look inside the PDF format, and feel like superheroes for being able to fill out XFA forms as well.

=================

📣 Meet the speakers

**Ármin Scipiades - Software Developer**
Ármin is a software developer working on the enterprise document management platform called AODocs, a beautiful, majestic, 10-year-old beast of a software he grew to love. In his free time, he listens to Tom Lehrer and fills in PDF forms.

**Gábor Motkó - Lead Developer**
Gábor is a tech lead at Aliz. He has been in the tech industry for more than a decade and he still loves being actively involved in coding. He prefers having a balance between diving deep into a specific area (like Java development) and staying up-to-date with relevant tech, such as GCP tools.

**Gergely Sipos - Frontend Architect**
Gergely has been working at Aliz since 2012, where from being an intern, he became a tech lead in AppDev. Since he enjoys seeing the visible result of his work, he has shifted toward frontend development over the years. At Aliz, his expertise in web technologies complements the other architects' knowledge.
