What belongs in a Java stack in 2027, and what doesn't? At IT-Tage in Frankfurt, @RichardFichtner goes through build tools, testing frameworks, runtimes and deployment platforms, and where AI and cloud-native fit in. Talk in German.

Five IBM Champions, one panel πΊπΈ #IBMTechXchange
What IBM Bob actually changes in day-to-day work β measured, not demoed. @Richard Fichtner is one of the five, alongside practitioners from four other companies. Hosted by IBM's Susann Keohane.
Full lineup: xdev.software/news
Plenty of business-critical applications still run on Java 8. @RichardFichtner & Mark Stoodley @mstoodle, IBM's Chief Architect for Java, walk the path to Java 21 with IBM Bob and IBM Semeru Runtimes.
Java 8 is still everywhere. That's why this session exists.
πΊπΈ #IBMTechXchange
XDEV is coming to πΊπΈ #IBMTechXchange
Enterprise Java is rarely greenfield. @RichardFichtner & Markus Eisele (@myfear) show how IBM Bob and the Quarkus Dev MCP keep AI-assisted work maintainable β demoed live on a production codebase.
Bring your own legacy code questions!
A single #Java library ends up inside a hospital platform, a French university's e-signature system, and a load-testing tool. Not through overlap in purpose β just one well-built component doing one job wherever it's needed. π
