What a day at the Almost Java Focused 151st DevClub.lv event! Catch the highlights!

Last Friday (March 12), we gathered at the C.T.Co office for an agenda-packed DevClub.lv session with practical backend engineering insights, architecture lessons, and real-world examples. Thank you to our speakers - Anton Ragutskii, Mārtiņš Ceske and Māris Ločmelis - your insights delivered exceptional value and sparked great discussions.

🎙 Anton Ragutskii
“Durable Ex*****on in Practice: Eliminating Failure Classes in Distributed Systems with Temporal”
Anton provided a deep dive into how workflow‑as‑code and durable ex*****on patterns help simplify long‑running business processes and reduce failure scenarios in distributed systems. His real-world experience across fintech, gaming, and enterprise systems made the subject both relatable and highly actionable.

🎙 Mārtiņš Ceske (C.T.Co)
“From Prompt to Production: AI‑Assisted Development for Java Engineers”
Mārtiņš demonstrated how AI tools can support an entire development lifecycle - from generating user stories and tests to implementation and code review. His talk showed how AI can serve as a practical, everyday development assistant without removing engineers from important architectural decision-making.

🎙 Māris Ločmelis
“Things to Make Your Life Easier When Building Complex Apps in Java”
Māris walked us through structural patterns that help keep Java applications predictable, maintainable, and free from spaghetti‑code pitfalls. He showcased examples of poor code (and why it fails) alongside well‑structured solutions that use abstraction correctly. It was a great talk for anyone who wants to build cleaner, more scalable Java applications.

Thank you!
A huge thank‑you to everyone who joined us for the discussions and networking.
The “Almost Java” theme once again proved that the best engineering stories go beyond just one language - touching systems design, AI, architecture, resilience, and code quality.

Until next time - see you at the next DevClub.lv!
