🎤 Talk:
"Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Quarkus and LangChain4j (But Were Afraid to Ask)" by Markus Eisele
Let’s make this simple: if you’ve ever wondered how to make Java fly at supersonic speed and talk to large language models: This session is for you.
We’ll look into Quarkus, the lightning-fast, developer-happy Java framework, and LangChain4j, the library that connects your Java apps to AI models like ChatGPT and beyond.
But here’s the twist: This isn’t a one-way lecture.
This is a live, question-driven session where you can interrupt, challenge, or ask anything about Quarkus, AI, or how to glue them together.
I’ll bring:

• Demos that actually work (mostly)
• Source code you can steal
• Slides with just the right amount of memes
• And a good dose of German humor

You bring your questions, your curiosity, and maybe your favorite debugging horror story.
By the end, you’ll not only understand how Quarkus and LangChain4j work. You’ll feel like building something with them.
Let’s make Java fun (again)!
