Double Feature: Backend-Performance mit Data Engineering & Projekte ruinieren
Hallo liebe Java User Group Mitglieder!
Diesmal haben wir zwei Bonner Kollegen zu Gast:
* Martin Stoller: **Backend-Performance in Hochlast-Systemen: Lösungsansätze aus dem Data Engineering**
* Andreas Monschau: **Zehn goldene Regeln, um dein Softwareprojekt zuverlässig zu ruinieren**
Wir freuen uns euch zu sehen (virtuell oder vor Ort).
Dank an [codecentric](https://www.codecentric.de/standorte/nuernberg) für Location, Bier und Pizza!
=================
Viele Hochlast-Systeme beginnen als kleine, unscheinbare Prototypen - gebaut mit bewährten Mitteln wie relationalen Datenbanken, objektorientierter Business-Logik und klassischen Request-Response-Architekturen.
Doch was passiert, wenn diese Systeme plötzlich nicht mehr Tausende, sondern Millionen von Requests bedienen oder Terabytes an Daten verarbeiten müssen?
In der Praxis zeigt sich häufig: Klassische Optimierungen wie Caching, horizontale Skalierung oder effizientere Algorithmen stoßen irgendwann an ihre Grenzen, weil sie innerhalb desselben Paradigmas bleiben.
Dieser Vortrag zeigt, warum echte Skalierbarkeit oft ein Umdenken erfordert. Anhand eines durchgehenden Praxisbeispiels wird schrittweise demonstriert, wie sich ein System von einer latenzoptimierten Request-Response-Architektur hin zu einem durchsatzoptimierten, analytischen System entwickelt.
Dabei werden zentrale Konzepte aus dem Data Engineering greifbar gemacht - darunter Precomputation, Batch Processing, deklarative Verarbeitung und Denormalisierung - und in den Kontext klassischer Backend-Entwicklung eingeordnet.
Die Teilnehmenden lernen, typische Grenzen traditioneller Architekturen zu erkennen und erhalten ein alternatives Denkmodell, um High-Throughput-Systeme gezielt und nachhaltig zu skalieren.
=================
Softwareprojekte sind chaotisch, anstrengend und voller Überraschungen. Und ganz ehrlich: So soll es auch bleiben. Ordnung würde ja nur den Spaß verderben. Trotzdem gibt es immer wieder Menschen, die glauben, man könnte Projekte wirklich zu Erfolg führen… unglaublich, oder?
Damit dir so etwas nicht passiert, zeige ich dir in diesem Vortrag, wie du ein Softwareprojekt in 10 einfachen Schritten zuverlässig an die Wand fährst. Die „goldenen Anti-Pattern für maximalen Projektschaden“ entstammen jedoch nicht
meiner Fantasie, nein, sie werden in der Realität täglich mit beeindruckender Konsequenz praktiziert. Und das Beste: Sie wirken nachhaltig. Manche dieser Muster entfalten ihre volle Zerstörungskraft erst Monate später.
Nachdem du alle Regeln kennengelernt hast, kannst du selbst entscheiden: Möchtest du sie weiterhin anwenden, oder vielleicht doch etwas verändern?
Solltest du allerdings inspiriert sein, eines dieser Anti-Pattern künftig noch konsequenter zu leben… dann sollten wir uns nach dem Talk dringend unterhalten.
=================
Dein Vortrag bei der Java Usergroup Nürnberg!
Hast du dich in letzter Zeit in deinem Projekt oder privat mit einem interessanten Thema beschäftigt? Vermutlich ist das nicht nur für dich selbst interessant! Hast du Lust, selber einmal einen Vortrag bei der Java-Usergroup Nürnberg zu halten?
Wir sind nicht nur auf Java-Themen fokussiert, sondern beschäftigen uns gern mit und um alles über Software Entwicklung und IT.
Wir wollen bei der JUG nicht nur bekannten Speaker\*innen eine Plattform geben und die neuesten State-of-the-Art Technologien vorstellen. Wir freuen uns auch besonders, wenn wir Themen aus unserem technologischen (Arbeits-)alltag Raum geben zu können. Melde dich gerne bei uns, wenn du dazu Lust hast, wir geben wenn gewünscht gerne auch Hilfestellung bei der Vorbereitung!

10. ZGBit! - Digitalna rješenja za zeleni Zagreb
🌳💻 Poziv na 10. ZGBit: Digitalna rješenja za zeleni Zagreb
Dragi svi,
pozivamo vas na 10. ZGBit, u organizaciji Gradskog ureda za digitalizaciju, nove tehnologije i tehničke poslove Grada Zagreba, koji ovoga puta posvećujemo temi:
👉 Kako digitalna rješenja mogu pomoći gradovima u prilagodbi klimatskim promjenama
Klimatske promjene i urbanizacija sve više utječu na kvalitetu života u gradovima. Jedan od izazova s kojima se suočava i Zagreb je pojava urbanih toplinskih otoka – područja u kojima su temperature znatno više zbog izgrađenosti i nedostatka zelenih površina.
Na ovom ZGBit-u predstavit ćemo kako Grad Zagreb koristi koncept digitalnog blizanca grada za analizu urbanih toplinskih otoka, planiranje sadnje drveća i razvoj učinkovitijih mjera ozelenjivanja gradskih površina.
🔍 Što vas očekuje?
• predstavljanje projekta digitalnog blizanca Grada Zagreba kao alata za prilagodbu klimatskim promjenama
• prikaz kako podaci i digitalna rješenja mogu pomoći u planiranju zelenih površina i smanjenju učinaka urbanih toplinskih otoka
• međunarodni primjer dobre prakse iz Norveške
• pregled mogućnosti suradnje između javnog sektora, stručnjaka, građana i inovacijske zajednice u stvaranju zelenijeg i otpornijeg grada
🤝 Događaj je namijenjen:
• predstavnicima gradova i javne uprave
• stručnjacima iz područja urbanog planiranja, GIS-a, zaštite okoliša i digitalizacije
• članovima IT, startup i inovacijske zajednice
• predstavnicima akademske i istraživačke zajednice
• svim građanima zainteresiranima za održivi razvoj i budućnost Zagreba
📍 Lokacija: Zagrebački energetski centar (ZEC), Maksimirska cesta 51
📅 Datum i vrijeme: 18. lipnja 2026. u 17:00 sati
Događaj se održava uz podršku Veleposlanstva Kraljevine Norveške u RH.
Dođite i saznajte kako digitalna rješenja mogu pomoći u stvaranju zelenijeg, otpornijeg i ugodnijeg Zagreba za život.
Vidimo se na 10. ZGBit-u!

Open Heart Meditation with Amrita Rani
Open Heart Meditation Sessions with Amrita Rani
(Live in-person and online on selected Thursdays via Zoom)
You are warmly invited to join the Open Heart Meditation Sessions with Acharya Amrita Rani — a living space of awakenings and direct experience.
These sessions are created both for beginners and seasoned practitioners who wish to deepen their meditation practice, stabilize awakening, and walk the path of enlightenment with guidance and support. Whether you are new or experienced, each gathering offers a grounded structure to help you build consistency in daily practice and grow in confidence on your spiritual path.
At the heart of Open Heart teachings is direct recognition. Through the Two-Part Formula and precise meditative guidance, you are supported in shifting from self-based mode into selfless awareness, again and again, until cessation of suffering takes place.
A central and deeply transformative practice in Open Heart is guru yoga. Through guru yoga, the practitioner directly connects with awakened awareness through devotion, transmission, and experiential recognition. With the help of this profound method, one recognizes their true selfless ease, the natural, effortless state beyond space and time.
Alongside guru yoga, the sessions include insight meditation (Vipashyana), tantric methods, dynamic concentration, trauma-healing techniques, and foundational practices such as Bodhicitta prayers. Each session includes guided meditation, space for questions, reflection, and personal support.
Rani’s meditation sessions are held live on Zoom on selected Thursdays from 18:30 to 20:00 (CET). Recordings may be available for continued integration and practice on her YouTube channel, The Sweetness of Enlightenment.
Participation fee:
15 € per session

Welcome all!
🌸Turn Thursday into Small Friday: Zagreb’s International Meetup🌍
Zagreb language and culture exchange meetup. Chat in many languages, meet new people and plan adventures together.
Hey everyone! 👋
As spring arrives in Zagreb and the city wakes up again, we’re keeping Thursdays social with **Small Friday International Zagreb** ([SFIZ.FUN](https://sites.google.com/view/smallfridayinternationalzagreb/)) a relaxed international meetup where locals, expats, Erasmus students and travellers gather to chat, exchange languages, share stories and plan the next adventure.
Think of it as Zagreb’s global living room with lively conversations, and that moment when a random Thursday evening decides to surprise you. ✨
Whether you’ve just arrived in Zagreb, been here a while, or live around the corner, you’re very welcome.
📍 **When & Where**
📍 **The Beertija**
Pavla Hatza 16, Zagreb
🕗 **Every other Thursday from 8PM**
✨ Free to join: simply grab a drink and support our host bar 🍺🎸
✨ Open to everyone: all ages, backgrounds and language levels
💬 **What Happens at [SFIZ.FUN](https://sites.google.com/view/smallfridayinternationalzagreb/)**?
Expect a relaxed, social atmosphere where conversations flow naturally.
🗣️ La**nguage Exchange**
English, Croatian, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Ukrainian, Russian… and often more.
🌍 **Cultural Exchange**
Locals, expats, travellers and Erasmus students sharing stories, experiences and perspectives.
🤝 **New Connections**
Real conversations, genuine laughs, and the occasional new friend.
📅 **Weekend Planning**
People often end up planning hikes, concerts, trips, festivals or nights out together.
No formal structure, no pressure, just people meeting people.
🌸 **Why Join in Spring?**
Spring is when Zagreb truly comes alive.
Magnolia trees bloom across the city, café terraces fill with conversation, and longer sunny days invite people outdoors. Locals stroll through parks, cycle along the Sava, run around Jarun and Bundek lakes, or escape to the nearby Medvednica mountain for hikes and views above the city.
At the same time, Zagreb’s cultural calendar blossoms with exhibitions, concerts, festivals and theatre performances, while markets like Dolac overflow with seasonal produce: asparagus, wild garlic, strawberries and fresh flavours of the season.
It’s the perfect time to meet people and explore the city together.
And many of those plans begin right here, at [SFIZ.FUN](https://sites.google.com/view/smallfridayinternationalzagreb/). 🌍
🍺 **Why The Beertija?**
Because it’s more than a bar, it’s our headquarters.
Expect:
🌿 leafy terrace vibes
🎸 rock-inspired atmosphere
🍺 excellent beers
🛋️ relaxed living-room energy
🚭 non-smoking indoor space
It’s the kind of place where you pop in for one drink and suddenly realise the evening flew by.
💡 **First-Timer Tip**
If it’s your first time:
👋 arrive early
🙂 smile and say hello
💬 jump into a conversation
Everyone was new once and that’s how all starts.
🌍 **Join the Crew**
[SFIZ.FUN](https://sites.google.com/view/smallfridayinternationalzagreb/) is a community built by the people who show up.
So if your Thursday evening could use a little more conversation, laughter and international energy, come by and join us.
Bring a friend if you like, or come solo and meet new ones.
✨Ditch the screen, grab a drink, meet the world🌍
See you on Small Friday! 🍻
**SFIZ Crew**
P.S. Spread the word
https://sites.google.com/view/smallfridayinternationalzagreb
🔎 **How to Spot Us**
New here? Best trick is to swing by right at the start, that’s when it’s easiest to find the crew and jump straight in, or ask the bar staff about the event ✨
Need quick updates or can’t see us straight away? No worries, our [WhatsApp group](https://sites.google.com/view/smallfridayinternationalzagreb/faq/sfiz-whatsapp-guide-keeping-it-fun-and-respectful) is where you can ask quick questions.

**Tech Talk: Secure Developer Environments in the Age of AI Agents**
**Speaker:** Patrick Brown (Coder)
**Abstract:** Federal engineering teams are under pressure to ship faster while meeting some of the most demanding security and compliance requirements in the world. In this talk, Patrick Brown of Coder explores how cloud development environments (CDEs) give agencies a foundation to accelerate software delivery without sacrificing control — and why that foundation matters even more as AI-powered coding agents enter the workflow. He'll cover how CDEs keep source code off endpoints, enforce zero-trust access patterns, and provide the consistent, ephemeral infrastructure that both human developers and AI agents need to operate safely at scale.
**Speakers:**
Stay tuned as we are updating speakers and schedules.
If you have a keen interest in speaking to our community, we invite you to submit topics for consideration: [Submit Topics](https://forms.gle/JkMt91CZRtoJBSFUA)
