A performance study of Java application" by Bruno Bevilacqua
⟿Description*:* Quarkus vs Spring Boot: Which One to Choose?
In this presentation, we will explore the differences between Quarkus and Spring Boot, analyzing performance, memory consumption, and ecosystem. We'll discuss use cases, the advantages of each framework, and how the choice impacts the development of modern Java applications.

🔘 8:00 pm to 8:40 pm - "Rediscovering Apollo 11: Using Spring AI + Redis OM Spring to Explore the trip to the moon!" by Raphael de Lio
⟿ Description*: What happens when you combine the Apollo program’s historical data with modern AI tools? You get a way to interact with one of humanity’s greatest adventures like never before!*
In this session, I’ll show you how I used Redis OM Spring and Spring AI to explore Apollo mission data—aligning transcripts, telemetry, and images to uncover hidden connections and insights. We’ll dive into how Semantic Search powered by vector embeddings makes sense of unstructured text, how Redis as a vector database enables lightning-fast retrieval, and why these tools unlock new ways to explore complex datasets.
Don’t know what embeddings or vector databases are? No worries—I’ll break it all down and show you how it works.
Come for the Moon missions, stay for the AI magic, and leave ready to build your own intelligent search experiences!

🔘 8:50 pm - Closing of the event
