Next up we have last minute super-sub Victor Rentea (@VictorRentea), whoโs here for @VoxxedAmsterdam tomorrow.
Heโs not only wildly entertaining, but is also teaching us a valuable lesson about hexagonal architecture by looking at it from the time it was invented back in 2005.
After some amazing food, at todayโs host NAVARA, we have the first speaker: Hinse (@coduinix) teaching us all about the new Gatherers in the Streams of Java 24.
There are just a few spots left for our next meetup, with @starbuxman and @hinseterschuur!

What an incredible meetup yesterday at @RotterdamJUG! ๐
A huge thank you to @royvanrijn and Bart Kerkvliet for an inspiring evening. And to @WeAreFrankNL for hosting in the heart of Rotterdam ๐ The location, the atmosphere, everything was perfect!
Highlights of the evening:
The event started with @KoTurk77 representing Voxxed Days Amsterdam, sharing why developers canโt afford to miss this conference. Then, we dove into two fascinating talks:
- @dashorst (@topicusbv): The power of #htmx. Key takeaway: htmx lets you perform REST calls directly from your html, eliminating the need for complex JavaScript ๐
- Niels Meijer (WeAreFrank!): Scaling with #hazelcast. It is a great platform with some key considerations for optimal use. ๐ ๏ธ
Special thanks to Jaco de Groot, CTO of WeAreFrank, for the warm welcome and, of course, the delicious pizzas! ๐
Whatโs next?
Monday: The @ingnl Backend Summit; weโre excited to see whatโs in store!
Tuesday: The @ApeldoornJUG at the @Belastingdienst. Thanks to @anton_ruiter for hosting! Hereโs the lineup:
- Jan-Willem van Hermon: A deep dive into #containerhosting.
- Bram Starmans-van den Hout: Exploring #portals and #forms.

Next up we have Niels from todayโs host WeAreFrank!.
Heโs sharing a war story on using @hazelcast to decouple and horizontally scale their framework.
After a short presentation and a raffle by @VoxxedAmsterdam with a golden ticket ๐ซ (by @KoTurk77) we have the first presentation of this evening:
Martijn @Dashorst is trying to get us to join the cult of HTMXโฆ
Letโs see if he can convert us.
