Devoxx 2023: First Impressions
This week, I’ve been attending Devoxx Belgium. It wasn’t my first time around, so I more or less knew what to expect in terms of atmosphere, content and people.

It’s been a while since the first two posts about Dapr! In those first installments, we looked at the basics of Dapr, from a very conceptual point of view.

Following the recent kerfuffle around the security manager deprecation, I was curious to see if a codebase I’m working on would also suffer. But how could I find out? There are no early access builds of Java 17 yet with the latest changes for this JEP. Maybe… I should set out and try to build it myself? But that’s sure going to be a lot of work… Or is it?
