the/experts × BrabantJUG: JPA Pitfalls & Meaningful Metrics
On 29 October, the/experts and BrabantJUG are teaming up for an evening for Java and JVM developers in Brabant.
Expect two talks: one deep in the code, one about how teams measure their work. Add good food, drinks and plenty of time to talk shop with fellow developers.
First up is Jos Roseboom with
When ORM becomes OMG: Performance Pitfalls in JPA and Friends.
JPA makes database work feel like magic, until your app grinds to a halt. Using the FunFactStore, a sample app where fun facts are sold but bugs are free, Jos shows the performance pitfalls that catch even experienced developers. He also covers the tooling that helps you spot them before your users do.
After the break, Maarten Mulders and Laura Kester present
Measuring Without Ruining the Metric.
When teams are judged on story points, they start delivering points instead of value. Maarten and Laura share practical ways to use metrics to start conversations, find bottlenecks and actually improve how teams work.
