Oh wow, what an honor 🤩 The Java community is amazing
Congratulations to new #Java Champion @marcushellberg
Vaadin 25.3 improves the AI dev loop 🤖
🧠 MCP, skills & agent tools give coding agents up-to-date Vaadin context
⚡ Browserless tests let agents self-verify changes in milliseconds
🎨 Dev Loop makes UI tweaks visible instantly

🤖 Made with AI

How fast can your AI agent find out that the code it just wrote is correct?
This question matters more than ever. Agents write code in seconds, but browser-based tests take minutes and often fail for the wrong reasons: timing, waits, flaky selectors.
Vaadin Browserless Testing changes this. The whole flow runs in one JVM: the view, the validation, the service, the jOOQ query. Tests run in milliseconds and are deterministic. When a test fails, the code is wrong. Not the timing, not the network.
Bonus: JaCoCo sees the UI code too, so you get one honest coverage number for the entire application.
In my new blog post I explain why this is a game changer for AI generated web applications, and why the classic SPA architecture cannot match it:

Welcome @Sharat_Chander 🥳
On behalf of the @Java DevRel Team at @Oracle, congratulations to the newest member of the #Java Champions Program @Sharat_Chander
Problem: I have a very nerdy @FellowProducts coffee maker and grinder that lets me configure all the things.
Solution: have @claudeai create a tool to determine starting values for grind size based on the beans and brew batch size 🤓
This is cool! There's now a Vaadin Aura theme preset gallery and theme builder: vaadin.github.io/web-compone… 🎉
The functionality will also be available in Vaadin Copilot shortly!

A small experiment with Claude Code:
Hotel room search, built twice.
1) Vaadin + Spring Boot + jOOQ + Testcontainers + PostgreSQL: 3 minutes.
2) Angular + Python + DynamoDB: about 5x longer.
Why the gap? One stack is one language, one runtime, and a clear data model. The other is two ecosystems, two languages, and design decisions that need to be made up front.
Choose your tech stack wisely.
Vaadin 25.1 brings reactive state management to Java—define your state once, and your UI stays in sync automatically.

Vaadin 25.1 is out. Despite it's minor version bump, it comes loaded with some big features 🤩 Want to learn more and ask the team questions? Join our live stream in 15 minutes: youtube.com/watch?v=7gVOjbai…
Cool side-benefit of using signals for state management in Vaadin: state is persisted across code hot swaps 🤩 (even scroll position is preserved!)
Vaadin 25.1 is out! 🥳
Signals for reactive UI state management is the biggest update to our Java API since Vaadin 10 (but this time without breaking changes)!
Other goodies:
🧑✈️ Copilot is free
🧪 Browserless UI testing is now free
🤖 New AI chat components

Getting ready for our long Viking boat trip to @Jfokus with a proper Viking feast with the @vaadin gang, @starbuxman, @gAmUssA and @jbaruch 🥳
Last year was still busy with talks 💪 This year will be fewer talks as I'm focusing more on my new VP of Products role. But I'll still try to speak at a few key events a year 🤞

Many know that in its early days @vaadin was called Millstone. Did you know that for a split-second, it was called Enably?

Some nice CSS simplifications in Vaadin 25: CSS is just CSS now, no need for any Vaadin specific theme config. New Aura theme. Automatic light/dark color scheme support.

Want to add a filter to a @vaadin Grid – in Java only?
Drew shared a nice example showing how simple it can be.
🔗 Code:

Great for dashboards & CRUD apps.
