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 and EclipseStore.

📅 Drop by the Hack Haus and challenge the idea of “full stack”.

Today’s release notes: ✅ add the #JCON2026 shirt.

Unlike #software, #merch doesn’t do instant deploy. Late orders may miss the #conference.

Remember: We don't ship. You have to get your #shirt at the venue!

I finally automated one of the most painful parts of conference prep: generating speaker + talk cards.

For jChampions 2026, I built a full Quarkus-powered pipeline that imports the schedule, processes speaker data, and renders banners as PNGs using HTML templates.

A fun mix of Java 21, Quarkus, Renarde, PostgreSQL, and design automation.
