Why we choose React for a Large Scale Financial Trading Platform
In this talk, Keith Bloom will illustrate why React is increasingly being leveraged to build zero-failure trading platforms, for the biggest investment banks and financial institutions in the world. We'll start from altitude, looking across multiple teams spanning hundreds of developers - we'll talk about how React's simple APIs and no-hassle frameworks specifically accelerates development for the biggest trading platforms. We'll then zoom in gradually all the way through to the experience of an individual developer, all while illustrating the points throughout with hard-core technical examples.
About the Speaker
Keith Bloom is a lead developer at Adaptive Financial Consulting with over 20 years’ experience of creating zero-failure software for the financial industry, using the most cutting-edge technologies and approaches.
Big thanks to Skills Matter for hosting this meetup.

Docklands.LJC: Real-time discovery with Stream Processing
Description changed:
We are pleased to bring you the next event of the Docklands.LJC, a group within the main London Java Community that focuses on the developer community in and around Canary Wharf. October's Speaker is Johnson Noel.
Real-time discovery with Stream Processing
How do you understand what your fintech customers are doing while they are doing it? With the volumes of data growing exponentially, how do you obtain real-time insights with huge amounts of data arriving continuously? What about creating analytics and visualisations to help you understand your business even more?
Traditional systems store all of the data and then process it, having to traverse the data every time a change is made. Today’s leading organisations need real-time analytics to give them competitive advantage.
2nd Talk TBC

How Open Source is Funded - The Enterprise Differentiation Tightrope
The java world has a wealth of great open source projects managed by innovative companies - the Pivotal Spring ecosystem, Confluent and Kafka, Elasticsearch, the Hadoop stack, RedHat and many more. But where does the money come from? How do these companies fund open source without compromising on openness?
Privacy Engineering for the World of Kafka
The privacy and security risks associated with using sensitive data can mean that long approval processes counter the ease of engineering and time-saving benefits that Kafka provides. In this talk Alex Cook will cover privacy attacks that Kafka data streams are particularly vulnerable to, and general techniques that can help thwart these attacks. He will go on to propose an architectural pattern where innovation around streaming sensitive data is performed in dedicated safe-zones that protect the privacy of customer data and data subjects.
Finally, he'll discuss how a collaboration between Privitar and Confluent has introduced cutting-edge Privacy Engineering techniques to the world of Kafka streaming data through our Privitar Publisher Kafka Connector. This Connector creates safe-zones for data, called Protected Data Domains, which enable separate teams to work on data streams made safe by applying easily-customizable privacy policies that are managed for each Kafka Topic. These managed data releases are watermarked for traceability and retain referential integrity but cannot be linked to each other (a significant privacy and security risk).

Kubernetes-Native Java with Quarkus
Kubernetes is becoming the de-facto platform to deploy our application nowadays. But this movement also implies some changes in the way we code our applications. Before this change, we just developed a monolith application where everything was up and running up front, now we are breaking down this monolith into (micro)services architecture and everything is interconnected with the network. Although it might seem easy, done properly is not an easy as there are some challenges to address that was not in a monolith architecture.
In this session, we’re going to start discussing what are these challenges (ie fault tolerance, service discovery, open tracing, or health checks) and demonstrate how they can be solved using Eclipse MicroProfile specification.
Come to this session to learn how to develop a successful Kubernetes-Native application using Quarkus, a Java ecosystem way to develop cloud-first, container-native, serverless focused and Kubernetes optimized.

Cloud Native with Java. What does it mean for you? Already immersed to the armpits and cursing the day you started? Wanting to take the first step but worried where to put your foot? Or have you successfully navigated the rapids and are now in calmer waters?
Whatever your situation we’d like to invite you to join a 1 day unconference focused on Cloud Native. Encompassing the whole scope - from how to design applications for the cloud, to how to develop, deploy, debug, scale, observe and even secure your creations.
If you’re an expert come and share your knowledge - if new to the game come and learn from the old hands. The only requirements are to bring your passion, knowledge and desire to share.
Since Cloud Native is a wide subject the aim is a curated unConference. That means that we follow the Open Spaces approach but with a light structure to guide the discussion along determined topics. We’ll have some well known experts to help guide the discussions but other than that it’s going to be as attendee-led as we can make it.
All this and for only £15!

Microservices are being deployed by many Java Hipsters. If you're working with a large team that needs different release cycles for product components, microservices can be a blessing. If you're working at your VW Restoration Shop and running its online store with your own software, having five services to manage and deploy can be a real pain.
This presentation will show you how to use JHipster to create Angular + Spring Boot apps with a unified front-end. You will leave with the know-how to create your own excellent apps!
Bonus: I'll show you how to use Ionic for JHipster to create native applications on mobile. It's pretty darn slick!

Memory Buffer Recycling - Rafal Foltyński
Most developers heard about object pool or flyweight pattern, many of them actually implemented one, but probably just a few tried to apply it directly to memory and expand/shrink the pool on the fly. The main purpose of this talk is to show the main challenges of writing a resizable pool of memory buffers and considerations that every dev should take into account. (Plus, you'll get a bunch of live demos in background.)

Introduction to Nuxt and Headless CMS - Alessandro Giordo
An introduction to how Nuxt works, as well as how to setup Nuxt with a headless CMS (WordPress or others) and how this can improve your workflow.
Frontend State Management with React Apollo - Tatenda Chawanzwa
State management has come along since the JQuery days (when arguably there was no need to handle frontend application state). With the burgeoning of single page applications has come the need for better state management, enter frameworks such as flux, redux, vuex and NGRX to name a few which all serve the big three, React, Vue and Angular.
In this talk, Tatenda Chawanzwa will look at new upcoming state management for Graphql. Specifically, he will talk on react-apollo, how to integrate with React, fire Queries/Mutations and update the local cache created by React apollo. He will also delve into how we can implement a global state store for even local variables with the @client directive. This way we can completely do away the need for redux and use react-apollo in built cache. He will also look at how we can write simple tests for this.
This will be a hands on talk. You're encouraged to bring your laptop with Node and npm installed. A github link will be provided to clone the repo to follow along with.
About the Speakers
Alessandro Giordo is a Frontend Developer working for Vodafone UK. He works mostly with Vue.js and React, and public speaks about Nuxt and other cool tech. In his spare time, he likes eating Pizza
Tatenda Chawanzwa has been a commercial software developer for 3 years. He has worked for startups in the beauty and well-being space, as well as blockchain.

With the burgeoning of single page applications has come the need for better state management, enter frameworks such as flux, redux, vuex and NGRX to name a few which all serve the big three, React, Vue and Angular.
In this talk, Tatenda Chawanzwa will look at new upcoming state management for Graphql. Specifically, he will talk on react-apollo, how to integrate with React, fire Queries/Mutations and update the local cache created by React apollo. He will also delve into how we can implement a global state store for even local variables with the @client directive. This way we can completely do away the need for redux and use react-apollo in built cache. He will also look at how we can write simple tests for this.

Microservices are being deployed by many Java Hipsters. If you're working with a large team that needs different release cycles for product components, microservices can be a blessing. If you're working at your VW Restoration Shop and running its online store with your own software, having five services to manage and deploy can be a real pain.
This presentation will show you how to use JHipster to create Angular + Spring Boot apps with a unified front-end. You will leave with the know-how to create your own excellent apps!
Bonus: I'll show you how to use Ionic for JHipster to create native applications on mobile. It's pretty darn slick!

Cloud Native. What does it mean for you? Already immersed to the armpits and cursing the day you started? Wanting to take the first step but worried where to put your foot? Or have you successfully navigated the rapids and are now in calmer waters?
Whatever your situation we'd like to invite you to join a 1 day weekend unconference focused on the topic of Cloud Native. Encompassing the whole scope - from how to design applications for the cloud, to how to develop, deploy, debug, scale, observe and even secure your creations.
Regardless of programming languages involved, we'd like to hear your story and your advice.
If you're an expert come and share your knowledge - if new to the game come and learn from the old hands. The only requirements are to bring your passion, knowledge and desire to share.
Since Cloud Native is a wide subject the aim is a curated unConference. That means that we follow the Open Spaces approach but with a light structure to guide the discussion along determined topics. We'll have some well known experts to help guide the discussions but other than that it’s going to be as attendee-led as we can make it.
We’ve got some great sponsors including the London Java Community, Eclipse Foundation and IBM but we’re certainly open to having more.
We’ll provide food, beer, sparkly stuff etc and have some nice little giveaways. (The small print - a donation will be needed to the LJC to help make this event a great one)
Oh and by the way - open source only. No sales pitches or overt promotions of commercial software or offerings.
Watch this space and follow the @ljcjug on twitter to keep up to date as we announce our volunteer curators and other news.
What a way to end the summer!

Memory Buffer Recycling - Rafal Foltyński
Most developers heard about object pool or flyweight pattern, many of them actually implemented one, but probably just a few tried to apply it directly to memory and expand/shrink the pool on the fly. The main purpose of this talk is to show the main challenges of writing a resizable pool of memory buffers and considerations that every dev should take into account. (Plus, you'll get a bunch of live demos in background.)
See how your decisions affect your business using Kubernetes, JBPM open source business process, Apache Kafka, and Grafana - Paulo Menon, Ingo Weiss and Craig Reeves
Modern business relies on rapid feedback of data and an ability to easily process that data in order to make good business decisions. In this scenario we look at how a government department distributes grants to farmers ensuring that they have the resources that they need to feed a growing population.
Apache Kafka and Grafana you can have a visual representation of the impact of your business process and help to take these decisions across your organisation, be it different silos, applications, regions or more. Apache Kafka helps getting the information across multiple services and locations. This stream of information would then be captured by InfluxDB, which will help organising the collected metrics and then present these using Grafana.

MariaDB and MySQL - What Statistics Optimizer Needs Or When and How Not to Use Indexes
When your SQL query reaches the DBMS, it's the optimizer's job to decide how to execute it for you to get the result as fast as possible. To make this decision optimizer can examine the actual table data, but with multi gigabyte and terabyte tables, the only practical solution is to use various data statistics that were collected in advance. The better the statistics and the more precisely it describes the actual data, the faster the plan will be because the optimizer image of reality will be closer to the actual reality.
In this talk, you'll learn what data statistics MariaDB and MySQL can collect, what statements do that, how to tell the optimizer to use it (it won't necessarily do it automatically!) and how it can make your queries many times faster.
And, of course, when not to use indexes, when up-to-date statistics is enough.
Michael (Monty) Widenius - Meet the creator of MariaDB and MySQL
Ever wondered why MariaDB was created in the first place and where it is going now? Or perhaps you are curious what Monty thought when designing MySQL initially?
Come ask Monty anything you would like to know about MariaDB or MySQL, all while enjoying a nice drink in a relaxed atmosphere.

Co-author of the highly regarded O’Reilly book High Performance MySQL, Peter is a long-time vociferous supporter of open source software at its most noble. He managed the High Performance Group within MySQL until 2006, when he co-founded Percona. He’s since stayed rigidly to his commitment free and open-source software, and in my view knows all there is to know about running a business underpinned by a truly open source software model. He’s also a well-known speaker at conferences and events such as All Things Open
AGENDA
18:00 - Welcome and networking
18:20 - Introduction, Federico Razzoli
18:30 - Lightning talks (TBD)
19.00 - Peter Zaitsev: Ten things developers should know about databases
19:50 - Pause with beer and food kindly offered by Percona
20:00 - Peter Zaitsev: Ask me anything
Afterwards, we can move to a nearby pub.
This talk works for developers or experienced database people. If you’re a developer there could be some surprises. If you’re a DBA then it’s good to get a perspective of things that may not come so naturally to developers. The points are valid for all flavours of open source database.
Peter has views on open source, on database technologies, on licensing, and on all kinds of other things. It’s good to talk, you can ask PZ anything! :)
Night of music from code at Corsica Studios in South London
Join Algorave Elephant + warm up for the summer solstice with top notch algorithmic music + visuals over two rooms - one for dancefloor bangers and one for stranger chill-out + ill-out experiments.
The algorave movement started in London and has since reached over 90 cities around the world. Algoraves showcase diverse creativity around live coding - artists manipulating code to make cutting edge music + visuals.
"The scene at an algorave is often what you'd expect from any good techno night - a dark room, engaging visuals. a decent, bass-heavy speaker set-up, and lots of people ready to dance. .. performers at algoraves respond to each other and the audience in real time, often projecting the lines of code onto the walls as they type. lt’s coding as improvisation and experiment.." - The Wire magazine
"Live coders write computer programs live, while the programs generate their music, but the focus is on people dancing and seriously enjoying themselves" - Dazed and Confused
".. not so much a revolution as a de-volution, a rolling back to the backend of music production, where the possibilities of the encoded information inside computer software is open and endless" - Mixmag
A bit different from our usual Meetups, this event is the second year we have hosted Goodnight Disruption, a London Tech Week Party. It's hosted by CoTech, a £10million UK alliance of 36 worker-owned tech businesses.
Discover the innovation projects designed and built by the 36 CoTech company members; meet the coding graduates of the latest Founders & Coders cohort; and throw off the tired cliches of disruption to instead discuss meaningful tech careers, innovation and positive social impact.
Doors at 6.30pm, speakers from 7pm and then dance floor from 8pm.

What to be aware about memory when running JVM apps in shared-container environments
Running Java-based applications in shared container-scheduler systems (such as Kubernetes or ECS) is a popular way of running systems nowadays. However doing so often leads to problems - especially around managing memory in a way that is both efficient and not prone to instability.
In this talk, David Borsos will explore the typical pitfalls of memory configuration when running JVM applications in shared-container environments, the underlying reasons and advice on how to avoid them.
Write Now, Run Anytime
Neil C Smith is developer of PraxisLIVE, an open-source hybrid-visual IDE for live programming, built on top of the NetBeans platform. While the IDE is primarily aimed at creative coders, its underlying forest-of-actors runtime supports real-time coding Java in general. PraxisCORE brings aspects of Erlang, Smalltalk and Extempore into the Java world, providing a powerful platform for media processing, data visualisation, sensors, robotics, IoT, and lots more!
We will explore some of the trials and tribulations of designing a just-in-time programming system in Java, including actors, classloaders and reactive dataflows, with the aid of some hypnotic visuals and bleepy sounds.
Neil may be unique amongst Java developers in regularly live-coding lambdas in venues to make breakbeat music. The talk may end with a short demo!
About the speakers
David Borsos is a software engineer with 10+ years of industry experience working with distributed systems, Java web applications, automation tools, cloud, and big data. His focus is on cutting-edge, open-source technologies

It’s AGM time again and this time we will be in the London. The 2019 OSMUK Annual Gathering will be held on Saturday 29 June at Newspeak House in Bethnal Green.
People will be arriving from near and far, so we’ve arranged kick-off for after lunch. It is very close to Brick Lane so there are ample opportunities for beer, curry, and bagels but not necessarily all three at once. Keep an eye on the @osmuk Twitter account and #osmuk hashtag for informal gatherings. The Directors may be busy setting up the room which is on the ground floor on the other side of the cafe.
The official AGM will be at 1pm and shouldn’t last more than 30 minutes. We are arranging some speakers for talks and discussions immediately afterwards. Come along to meet fellow mappers from around the country.
Register to attend – it’s free! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/openstreetmap-uk-annual-gathering-tickets-62262798707
From 3pm onwards we will be joined by the London Wikidata Meetup. The plan is to get people interested in Wikidata to meet people from the OSM community and talk about possible areas of collaboration.
There will no doubt be a trip to the pub and maybe curry afterwards.
To be guaranteed entry to the AGM (first 15 to 30 minutes) you must be a member. After that anyone can attend for the rest of the OSM UK gathering and for the OSMUK+Wikidata gathering starting at 3pm.

Acceptance Testing in Microservices - Dimos Raptis
Microservices is being widely adopted as an architectural pattern during the last decade thanks to the business agility it enables. This pattern incentivises teams owning separate business domains to move as independently as possible. However, the need remains to test and verify that all these services will work as expected in cooperation. This can end up being harder at times given there are more moving parts that need to be setup appropriately in order to perform the necessary testing.
This talk is essentially a story from the trenches, which goes through some of the challenges we faced with testing in a microservices environment and how we overcame some of them.
Get better at what you do—with intent - Sergey Soloviov
As a freelancer, you want to bring more value and charge more for it. But you’re on your own to build out your skill set. If you don’t help yourself, no one else will. All it takes is showing intent. In this talk, we’ll look at tactics that one can use to build a little system to push your own boundaries. It’s light-weight but helps create discipline and transparency in the process.

Acceptance Testing in Microservices - Dimos Raptis
Ok, you've adopted the microservices architecture and now you have to think how you can test all these services? What if I told you there's a way to test them without having to setup copious integration and end-to-end tests, while also being able to verify that everything works as expected?

Will new social media regulation damage free expression online?
Description changed:
The UK Government recently published proposals to address “online harms” ranging from terrorist content to cyber bullying. The new rules promise to dramatically impact social media companies (and social media users).
At a time of creeping Government control of the Internet it's time to question whether plans to make the Internet safer will come at a cost to free expression online.
The Centre for Investigative Journalism and the Internet Futures and Human Rights Research Stream at Goldsmith’s University of London present a talk by Open Rights Group’s Executive Director Jim Killock about an alternative rights-based approach to address online harms that will also protect the free and open Internet.
Mr. Killock will also tell you how to make your voice heard by responding to the Government’s public consultation on their Online Harm White Paper.
All are welcome to this free event. All you need is a concern about protecting the free and open Internet.
