https://ti.to/dublin-java-user-group/265-zeljko-kozina

Last year, Netflix announced that it was dropping REST completely in favour of GraphQL. It is undoubtedly one of the popular kids on the Development playground right now.

GraphQL is a new way to build APIs, one that's easier, faster, better, and more flexible than the old RESTful API system, or at least that's the promise.

In this session, a REST developers' Assessment of Spring GraphQL, Željko will cover the basics of Spring GraphQL, explore its strengths and weaknesses, and determine whether it is a better option for your company than a conventional REST API.

Understanding how Java organises memory is important for every Java professional, but this particular topic is a common knowledge gap for many software professionals.

With the help of Željko, this talk explores how memory management can help you improve performance effectively, helping you understand the different parts of Java memory and the various garbage collectors so you can select your preferred one.

Smart Docklands Networking Event on the 7th May 2026 in Portal at Trinity East from 5-7pm.

Join us as we bring together the brightest minds in marketing, data and analytics to share learnings and tips!

After a long-awaited return since 2019, MeasureCamp is finally back in Dublin—and it’s set to be bigger, bolder, and more insightful than ever.

Hosted once again thanks to Google’s generous support, the 2026 edition promises a full day of hands-on learning, open knowledge-sharing, and meaningful connections with some of the sharpest minds in analytics, data, and digital measurement. If you’re passionate about data and love events where conversations matter more than slides, this is one you won’t want to miss.

The schedule is created on the day of the event and speakers are fellow attendees. Everyone is encouraged to discuss and participate in sessions, even to lead sessions themselves. You focus on what YOU find most interesting and useful.

As a concept, unconferences have proven to be extremely popular in recent years as they are designed to encourage discussions and an exchange of ideas. They provide an alternative to traditional one-way conferences by being a more collaborative social framework for knowledge sharing. MeasureCamp is about collaboration where attendees create the format. It is an open forum in which you have the chance to share best practices, learn about something new or discuss key issues facing the analytics industry.

First held in London in 2012, MeasureCamp is an '**unconference'**for the digital analytics industry, widely regarded as the best analytics conference with the best content! In 2023, the unconference was held in 21 cities around the world. With growing popularity and an unbeatable price (free), the tickets to the unconference disappear quickly (often in minutes after the release time).

Always held on a Saturday, it has a relaxed fun vibe and is FREE to attend. The event is all about learning, exchanging ideas, networking, and solving problems with your fellow digital analytics practitioners.

Unconferences are designed to encourage discussions and the exchange of ideas as an antidote to the passive, traditional, large theater-style conferences. With its small discussion group format and schedule defined, created and curated by attendees (You). MeasureCamp provides participants with the ultimate opportunity to learn, develop and network with other practitioners. Ask any of the hundreds of attendees who have experienced this unconventional format and you will find that it is the crown jewel of information sharing. Come to learn, network, and experience the "unconference" with us!

Attended by the best in the analytics industry from the senior level client, agency, or vendor to those just starting out in digital analytics - MeasureCamp is inclusive! The event can be an invaluable part of your continued learning!

Informal, meet founders & tech people, talk tech, network: hang out with people who are both excited about the future and building it.

Aimed at recreating the tech cafe environment in Silicon Valley, Tech in a Circle is an intimate "networking" event where a founder or tech developer shares an exciting project he or she has been working on. It's not a pitch, not a sales stunt, not transactional. We all sit in a circle (even the speaker), and the speaker shows a demo of what he or she has been working on. Like a meeting between friends where one friend has an exciting project to show off. As he or she shows the demo, people can ask any question at any time or make comments; it's a conversation. After the demo is done, we all hang out. The ultimate goal of Tech in a Circle is to bring the magic of The Valley to the EU, one event at a time.

We've survived the Winter, and are looking forward to a busy Summer! To kick things off we're partnering with MongoDB to bring you our latest Meetup.

We'll be hosted by MongoDB in their Dublin office on Thursday 21st May from 6:00pm and we'll have two speakers for you that evening.

MongoDB need very little in the way of introduction, they've a strong presence here in the Irish tech scene and are big supporters of other communities we're all part of. We're delighted to have finally made that connection now ourselves here at Go Ireland and look forward to what's to come over the next few years together.

We've got two speakers for you for this Meetup, the first is a Go Ireland regular Dmytro Lahoza, and the second is MongoDB's own Andrei Matei who'll be coming over from Manchester to join us on the night.

"MongoDB × Go: Inside the Ecosystem and How It Runs at Scale" with Andrei Matei - Software Engineer at MongoDB

"Plugins Without Borders: A Language-Agnostic Plugin System for Go and Beyond" with Dmytro Lahoza - Software Engineer at Verda

Big thanks again to MongoDB who'll be supporting us for this entire event.

As always, you'll be fed, watered, and we'll head to a pub nearby after the event to keep the conversations going.

We've also got a new home on LinkedIn, going forward this will be the best place to find updates.

Welcome to learn and discuss Linux & c++ topics on Tue 26.5.

Aayush Sahay (Lead Developer, Travel Department) gives first a lightning talk on Unifying CLI Tools for 4 Different Linux Distributions. When you like BAT & TMUX and want them with identical personalized CLI views on Arch, Fedora, Ubuntu & Debian, you end up in a jungle of package managers, naming differences, version challenges and automating needs… Aayush will discuss how he is navigating this and also wants to hear other suggestions. https://aaysah92.github.io/

Next we hear from Tamás Boros (Graphics c++ dev and performance engineer) on Graphics API emulation on Linux. Lately Tamás has been living in the world of mobile and consoles, focusing on how to bridge the gap between heavy-duty rendering and portable hardware.

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced Linux/c++ enthusiast, you are very welcome to join. This event is a joint meetup between Dublin C++ User Group, Linux Developers Ireland and Dublin Linux Community. Please RSVP in one of the 3 meetup groups, so we know the seating needs beforehand.

The program will start at 7pm, in the upstairs room of Anseo pub, where we can also quench our thirst. See you on Tue 26.5.!
