Debugging a debugger
Join us for an enlightening session where we unravel the mysteries of debugging a Java process. This talk is designed to showcase the intricacies of Java's internal workings by delving into its source code, a blend of Java and C++ languages. Attendees will gain a rare glimpse into the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) as we explore how Java interacts with underlying C++ components during the debugging process. This exploration will not only clarify the mechanisms at play when debugging Java applications but also provide practical insights for developers looking to enhance their debugging skills. Whether you're a seasoned Java developer or just starting out, this talk will equip you with a deeper understanding of what happens under the hood of a Java process, enhancing your ability to diagnose and resolve issues more efficiently. Get ready to embark on a journey that bridges the gap between Java and its native aspects, bringing clarity to the often-overlooked details of Java debugging.

Choosing the Right Tool: A Comparative Look at gRPC, REST, and GraphQL
In the ever-evolving landscape of web development, the choice of technology can drastically impact the design and efficiency of the application. This talk aims to demystify and compare three key players in API communication: gRPC, REST, and GraphQL. We delve into what makes each of these technologies unique, and more importantly, how to determine which is the best fit for your specific project needs.
