Another year, another season of WeAreDevelopers LIVE.

We kick off the day with some advice on how (or not) to use Hibernate. After that, we will learn about various CDC applications and why they can be handy when working on microservice integration. Next, we’ll get to meet the new kid on the block: ChatGPT (and how it may affect Java development in the future). And to end this amazing day, we will look at Apache Pulsar - an open-source platform that might ring in a new age of distributed messaging and streaming. So get yourself a good cup of coffee and tune in for Java Developer Day.

Hibernate: How to keep calm
Philipp Frauenthaler & Gregor Lucny
Senior Java Engineer & Lead Java Developer at Austrian Federal Computing Centre
Hibernate: How to keep calm

Being one of the most popular persistence frameworks for Java, Hibernate provides easy-to-use, object-oriented access to relational databases, enabling developers to focus on business logic rather than writing tons of JDBC statements. While this easy-to-use approach allows rapid application development, it comes with its own pitfalls. We are using Hibernate in all of our Spring Boot projects in a variety of scenarios, from classic web applications to long-running batch processes. On the way we made design decisions we regret now, discovered cool features, and found out a lot about how (and how not to) use Hibernate. In the following session, we will give a brief introduction to Hibernate and discuss some of our learnings.

Practical Change Data Streaming Use Cases With Debezium And Quarkus

Practical Change Data Streaming Use Cases With Debezium And Quarkus

Apache Kafka is a highly popular option for asynchronous event propagation between microservices. Things get challenging though when adding a service’s database to the picture: How can you avoid inconsistencies between Kafka and the database? Enter change data capture (CDC) and Debezium. By capturing changes from the log files of the database, Debezium gives you both reliable and consistent inter-service messaging via Kafka and instant read-your-own-write semantics for services themselves. In this session you’ll see how to leverage CDC for reliable microservices integration, e.g. using the outbox pattern, as well as many other CDC applications, such as maintaining audit logs, automatically keeping your full-text search index in sync, and driving streaming queries. We’ll also discuss practical matters, e.g. HA set-ups, best practices for running Debezium in production on and off Kubernetes, and the many use cases enabled by Kafka Connect’s single message transformations.

Event Messaging and Streaming with Apache Pulsar
Mary Grygleski
Senior Streaming Developer Advocate at DataStax
Event Messaging and Streaming with Apache Pulsar

The world is moving at an unprecedented pace and much of it has been powered by innovations in software and systems. In the case of streaming which very often leverages the underlying messaging mechanism(s) to bring distributed messaging to higher forms of purposes, an event streaming platform has indeed become the “glue” in enabling data to flow through disparate systems in the pipeline and in a very dynamic fashion. This talk on event streaming is meant for anyone interested in learning about it, and understanding how it fits into modern software development design and architecture, as well as seeing some of the challenges it faces especially in the Cloud Native environment. We’ll then take a look at an open-source platform - Apache Pulsar, which is poised to become the de facto new generation of distributed messaging and streaming platform that will bring joy to developers, and enable systems and applications to be highly responsive with its true real-time capabilities.

About the speaker(s)

Bootiful Spring Boot 3
Josh Long
Spring Developer Advocate at Tanzu (a division of VMWare)
Bootiful Spring Boot 3

Pre-Recorded Session: Spring Framework 6 and Spring Boot 3 are almost here and you know what that means? New .jars! And also new baselines and new possibilities! Spring Framework implies a Java 17 and Jakarta EE baseline and offers new support for building GraalVM-native images. It also offers a new observability layer, an amalgamation of some of the work in the Micrometer project and Spring Cloud Sleuth. Spring Boot 3 builds upon all of this and integrates all of this into our application. Join me, Spring Developer Advocate Josh Long (@starbuxman), and we'll look at next-gen Spring.
