What to expect?
We have three engaging talks lined up:

1.Hazelcast + Kubernetes for microservices
Himanshu Maheshwari / Software Engineer @ Miro

In Kubernetes environments, managing a stateful cache for an application can be both challenging and costly. In this talk, we’ll address these issues by presenting Hazelcast as a solution for embedding a distributed cache into your application. We’ll explore how Hazelcast enables stateful caching, enhancing both performance and cost-efficiency. You’ll learn practical steps for configuring and using Hazelcast with Spring boot, along with common pitfalls and how to overcome them. Join us to discover how integrating Hazelcast into your Kubernetes setup can streamline cache management and boost overall system performance.

2.From Chaos to Clarity: Writing Kotlin Code That Works Seamlessly on the First Run
Jeffrey van der Lingen / Staff Engineer @ Albert Heijn

Kotlin's versatility makes it an excellent choice for developers of all experience levels, but mastering effective coding patterns is essential for writing high-quality applications. This presentation will highlight several key techniques that elevate your Kotlin programming, enabling you to write code that runs flawlessly on the first attempt. Through a hands-on approach and practical examples, we will explore best practices that enhance code clarity and reliability, transforming your development experience from chaos to clarity.

3.Kotlin Scripting 101: .main.kts in IntelliJ IDEA
Vlad Koshkin / Senior Software Engineer @ JetBrains

Discover the power of Kotlin scripting with .main.kts! In this talk, we'll explore how to use Kotlin scripts in IntelliJ IDEA for quick prototyping, automation, and lightweight scripting.
