Join fellow technologists to share experiences, learn from each other, and build lasting connections in a welcoming environment around code quality, security, and DevOps.
What We’re About
We strive to lead our events with Sonar Social in addition to talks, hands-on workshops, and open discussions about Sonar practices, code quality, AI, and DevOps. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or just starting your journey, you’ll find value and friendly folks at our meetups.
Events typically include
- Technical presentations from community members with interactive sessions.
- Socializing with fellow technologists and experts.
- Complimentary food, drinks, and exclusive Sonar swag.

Join us for an evening where developers (of all experience levels) can learn, share, and make friends. We’ll kick things off with quick introductions and a featured talk on using SonarQube in a microservice migration. Afterward, we’ll have free-form networking and coding time to dive deeper into your projects.
🗓️ Schedule
6:30-6:50 PM 💡 Arrival & Welcome Grab a drink, pizza, meet fellow devs, and get settled.
6:45-7:00 PM 💬 Intro Circle Quick intros so we know who's in the room.
7:00-7:30 PM 🎤 Featured Talk: Using SonarQube in a Microservice Migration with Jonah Bostrom
7:30-9:00 PM 🚀 Software Social Stick around for food, drinks, and convos over code.
Talk Synopsis
Jonah will walk through his experience helping migrate a legacy enterprise system from stored procedures to a microservices architecture. Early in the project, they introduced SonarQube to improve code quality and surface security concerns during the POC phase leading them to reevaluate some of their initial architectural choices. Jonah will share how they integrated SonarQube into their CI, how it shaped their dev process, and what he learned from digging through the codebase to clean up smells and reduce tech debt!
Key Takeaways:
- Practical lessons from cleaning up real-world code smells and vulnerabilities manually as part of a growing team.
- How to integrate SonarQube into a CI/CD pipeline for a microservices project and what impact it actually has on code quality.
- Using SonarQube for POC work benefits as a design feedback tool, not just a cleanup tool.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions ❓
- I won't be available immediately, can I show up later? We’re flexible about the time you show up. If you plan to arrive 1 hour or more late, check for directions on the front door or in the event comments section.
- Can I bring a guest? Of course - be sure to have them RSVP so we can accommodate seating and food!
- Do I need a laptop? Ideally, but not mandatory. The primary focus is on building community and connections amongst the Sonar community. Hence why we emphasize socializing and connection. You'll have a great time regardless!
- I'm new to coding, is this a good place to start? Of course! Sonar is a language agnostic tool that helps you code better in the age of AI. Although some words may sound scary, we strive to create a friendly environment for all skill levels and backgrounds.
