What we’re about
This is a meetup group for engineers, technical and business leaders. In partnership with the community, we bring to you international speakers as well as local heroes to discuss the tech topics that matter today.
Our favourite topics include Spring Boot, Microservices and Event-Driven Architectures, Cloud Native, Cloud Migration and dealing with Legacy systems, with a focus on the Java ecosystem.
Not all of our sessions will be 100% technical, as we will go into the business benefits of technical choices, showing how this can support your business by being more efficient.
“Do cool stuff, have fun doing it, tell the world about it.” That is what we live and breathe at Trifork.
What to expect
This meetup group aims to bring together people from different areas of enterprise application development. Some events are more focussed on tools and techniques, while others focus on the business merits of using the technologies.
In any case, the goal is to facilitate learning across disciplines, where members are encouraged to learn from each other and discover what’s possible in a safe and fun environment.

Join Trifork Academy and GOTO for a free live virtual taster event with Trifork Amsterdam’s CTO, Joris Kuipers, who brings over 20 years of Spring expertise dating back to his time at SpringSource.
This engaging 2-hour session will give you a sneak peek into the Spring: Core Masterclass — showing why this 4-day course is essential for anyone ready to master Spring.Joris will walk you through a LIVE demo, showcasing what you can build and achieve after completing the full course. Expect practical insights, tips, and a glimpse of the hands-on learning experience offered in the masterclass.
What we’ll cover:
- Setting up a new application with Spring Boot
- Providing a REST API using Spring-MVC
- Using a relational database with Spring Data JPA
- Writing integration tests that run your application without the need to deploy it
- Adding basic support for authentication and authorization via Spring Security
- Using Boot’s actuator for monitoring and management
Note: All these topics — and much more — are explored in depth during the 4-day Spring: Core Masterclass. Learn more about the course here: Spring: Core Masterclass
Prerequisites: Basic experience with Spring (especially dependency injection) and Java as an enterprise programming language.

Runtime Configuration Updates with Spring Boot (Joris Kuipers)
Spring Boot applications provide rich abstractions for working with various property sources to configure your applications. Most applications will only read their configuration at startup and require restarts to pick up any changes. However, it doesn’t have to be this way! In this session, we will learn about Spring’s support for dynamically picking up changes in external configurations, so that you don’t need restarts anymore.From DevEx Disaster to Delight: How to Champion a DevEx Revolution in Your Organization (Jeremy Meiss)
Is your development team struggling with bugs, inefficient tools, and demoralizing processes? Do you often hear your developers expressing their frustration with the deployment process and the codebase? Don't worry, this talk is your ticket to transforming your organization's Developer Experience (DevEx) from a disaster zone to a developer utopia. Join us for a session filled with humor and insights that will equip you with the tools to improve your team's productivity and satisfaction.Count-Min Sketch, Bloom Filter, TopK: Efficient probabilistic data structures (Raphael de Lio)
A Count-Min Sketch, a Bloom Filter, and a TopK might sound fancy, but they’re just smart ways to work with huge amounts of data using very little memory. In this talk, we’ll explore three powerful probabilistic data structures that trade a bit of accuracy for a lot of speed and scalability. By the end, you’ll see how these tools help you process large data streams without blowing up your memory, and how to apply them in real-world systems where being fast matters more than being perfect.AI-Powered Productivity in the Development Lifecycle (Jonathan Vila)
In the current software development context, staying updated is essential, and that means using Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly Code Generative AI. It is changing the way developers work, offering never-seen productivity improvements throughout the entire development life cycle. This talk will go into the practical applications of AI-powered tools and methodologies focused on software development. This talk will showcase practical tools and strategies to integrate AI into your development workflows, increasing productivity and efficiency levels.
In this meetup, in addition to food, drinks, and networking, you will experience four excellent talks of approximately 30 minutes each:AGENDA
