Agenda for Hardware focused 138th DevClub.lv

Normunds Stepāns from STROPS Technologies will give a talk about situations in hardware manufacturing when everything goes wrong.
It’s no secret that the saying “software is easy, but hardware is hard” is very close to reality. But why is that? If it’s so challenging, why would anyone choose to engage with hardware, and how can the process be made easier?
You will learn:
– What managers, companies, and customers expect when ordering programming services
– What it truly means to be “in charge”
– The key differences between making mistakes in software and hardware
(Language – Latvian)

Normunds Stepāns, CEO of STROPS Technologies, founded the company in 2014 without prior experience in product development but with a strong determination to achieve something meaningful. His goal was to contribute to making Latvia a manufacturing country, exporting its technologies and improving its economic prosperity. Despite having a background in IT and business management, there was still much to learn in the field of manufacturing.

Janis Putrams from Aerones will give a talk “Rapid development in verticaly integrated, fast-growing startup“
The talk will focus on solving technical development challenges for global robotics-enabled wind turbine service company- Aerones. This includes robotics design, manufacturing and field deployment, client facing portal development as well as internal process design and supporting data and tool implementation.
(Language – English)

Nowadays the topic about IAM (Identity and Access Management) is getting more relevant, when considering ways to secure applications, identify users. In order to to understand how does it work one must understand modern authentication and authorization. OAuth2.0 and OIDC are globally used protocols, which teach us how to implement and handle all the necessary elements in this IAM world. Quite often this is a “knowledge gap” for an average developer, so it might be valuable to understand the basics underneath.

White-box cryptography makes it possible to use cryptography on insecure devices where attackers can observe memory at run-time and have full control over code execution.

Agenda for Hiring & Job Hunt Mastery focused 135th DevClub.lv

Dmitrijs Lebedevs from EPAM will give a talk “Beyond Tricky Puzzles: A New Approach to Tech Interviews“
Traditional tech interviews often rely on tricky puzzles that don’t really show how good a developer is. In this talk, I’ll share my experience changing the way we interview developers.

The situation in IT job market changed drastically in the last couple of years – from candidate market, where company is searching for at least somehow fitting candidate, to the employer market, where employer choses its next employee very contentiously. Old approaches do not work any more – candidates have to search for new ones. How can you stand out of the crowd? How to become better visible and attractive for recruiters? How can you make your profile speak for you?

Hiring is one of the most confusing and challenging aspects of the IT industry. It’s a strange process – one where everyone seems to be playing by different rules. It’s like looking into a fractured mirror, where the full picture is never quite visible. From moments of confidence to unexpected rejections that leave you thinking, “Did I just get ghosted?” it’s a true emotional rollercoaster. So, is there a way to hack the game?
In “The Game,” Sergey shares insights from every side of hiring—interviewer, process designer, and applicant. This talk isn’t just about tips; it’s about understanding why the process feels like a maze and how knowing the “why” can give you clarity. You’ll leave with a new perspective and a few thoughts that might just make things click.

In his talk, Ilya will discuss what today’s schools are like, what topics are covered in the syllabus, and whether coding can be effectively taught in schools. He’ll also share his thoughts on whether it’s worth it for senior engineers, who can earn competitive salaries, to take up teaching programming.

Once he felt confident in his skills, Janis began creating YouTube videos and accepted an offer to teach programming to adults at Codelex, with the goal of helping others navigate a smoother path into the world of coding—something he wished he had when starting out.

Alexey Buzdin from Teya will give a talk “Uni-versal Knowledge“.

Agenda for Data Streaming focused 133rd DevClub.lv

Jurgis Lukss from Mintos will give a talk on “Optimizing Microservice Communication: Implementing Contract Testing with CDC and pact.io”.
In my presentation, I’ll explore the critical role of contract testing in ensuring reliable communication between microservices, with a focus on implementing Consumer Driven Contracts (CDC) using the pact.io framework in a polyglot environment. I’ll demonstrate how teams can effectively maintain system integrity across diverse tech stacks, including Java microservices, a PHP monolith, and Groovy + Spock tests, while integrating contract testing into CI/CD pipelines. Key insights will include experiences with RabbitMQ, Pact Broker, and overcoming challenges in multi-language ecosystems.
(Language – English)
Tags: Microservices, Contract Testing, CDC, pact.io, RabbitMQ, CI/CD, Pact Broker, Java, PHP, Groovy, Spock.

With over two decades of programming experience, Jurgis Lukss is dedicated to using his experience with cloud platforms, distributed systems, and microservices to drive innovation and scalability. This scalability is crucial to efficiently handle the growing number of transactions and users, ensuring a seamless experience as the platform expands. This focus supports Mintos’s mission to become the leading multi-asset investment platform and the top choice for retail investors in Europe, fostering long-term wealth building with cutting-edge technology.

Aivars Kalvāns from Ebury will give a talk about “The good, the bad, and Kafka”.
Over the last few years, we have built and deployed several services that use Kafka to exchange messages. Since then we have learned that poison pills come in different forms and shapes and even our friends try to feed us some. Failure is inevitable and error-handling patterns are not to be taken lightly. Timeouts, size limits, quirks, bugs, and gotchas are right around the corner. I will share our experience and approaches to working with Kafka and highlight where it over-promises and under-delivers.
(Language – English)
Tags: Oracle APEX, Low-Code

Aivars is a staff engineer at Ebury working on cross-border payments using Python, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, and Kafka.
