Do modern web apps really need a huge stack?
At #JavaOne 2026, XDEV explores a different approach: building enterprise-ready UI and persistence mostly with Java using @vaadin.com and EclipseStore.
📅 Drop by the Hack Haus and challenge the idea of “full stack”.
#Java #SoftwareEngineering #Vaadin
Not everything at XDEV revolves around Java and deployments. 🎲🧙 Sometimes it’s dice, #DnD character sheets, and a Leshy adventuring party tracking missing allies.
Four hours of roleplay, strategy, snacks, and pizza.🍕 Nerd culture isn’t staged here — it’s part of who we are. 🤝
230,000+ students. Small team. Tight budget. Strict data protection.
At #JavaOne 2026, XDEV presents the BYLES case study — how a pragmatic Java architecture delivered a secure, scalable platform without overengineering.
Proud to bring this session to JavaOne! March 17–19, 2026.
#Java
