This conference will focus on the latest technologies and best practices emerging in the enterprise software development space. Our speakers are authors, consultants, open source developers, and recognized industry experts. NFJS brings a high quality conference to your city, making the event accessible not only to senior engineers, but to the whole team.
» Cutting-Edge Technologies – Develop better and faster. Technology evolves and changes at a rapid rate. NFJS helps you stay current and assist you in making the right technology choices down the road.
» Excellent Team Building Experience – because of its local roots, an NFJS event allows teams of developers/architects/managers from a company to attend together. Getting out of the "office environment" together as a group to learn/discuss concepts is a powerful combination. Want to solve a problem? Get a fresh opinion at an NFJS event. Interaction and exchange of ideas is one of the great attributes of NFJS.
» Lots of Choices – unlike other technical conferences, NFJS offers a tremendous bandwidth of session choice. With a minimum of four concurrent tracks offered at each NFJS show you are sure to find a compelling session to attend!

Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

The 12 tracks for QCon San Francisco 2026 (November 16-20) are now live. Four tracks cover AI in production. The other eight cover the rest of what senior engineering still demands: distributed systems, architecture teardowns, resilience, platform internals, API design, and Staff+ leadership. Early bird pricing runs until May 12th.

Uber engineers migrated over 75,000 test classes from JUnit 4 to JUnit 5 using automated code transformation with OpenRewrite and internal orchestration. By enabling the JUnit Platform for dual execution with Bazel and validating changes through CI, the team modernized testing infrastructure while maintaining correctness at monorepo scale.

Wayne Bell and Dan Gomez Blanco discuss the architectural and cultural shift required to scale observability at Skyscanner. They share how moving to OpenTelemetry decoupled instrumentation from vendors, and explain why treating a platform as a product - with engineers as customers - is the key to reducing incident rates and eliminating technical debt across 800+ microservices.
By Dan Gomez Blanco, Wayne BellIn this podcast, Jaromir Hamala, a seasoned Java engineer specialising in high-throughput data systems, shares his thoughts on how developers can tackle high-performance software development. He touches on the benefits of modern Java that allow writing idiomatic Java code while remaining "mechanically sympathetic", and also on his experience debugging a Linux kernel bug.

Discover how the Model Context Protocol (MCP) Java SDK is establishing a new architectural discipline for enterprise LLM integrations. By defining explicit contracts and leveraging MCP servers as anti-corruption layers, it ensures governance, loose coupling, and security alignment with the JVM ecosystem and existing operational practices, moving integrations beyond fragility to resilience.
