Fullstack from the back! Better business application development
This session will guide attendees through building data-rich business applications in an efficient way through the use of Hilla and Flow, two web frameworks written by the company, Vaadin.
Flow is a unique full-stack framework that lets you build web apps without writing HTML or JavaScript. You compose the UI from components, connect it to a data source and react to user events. The UI runs on the JVM without the need to expose REST services or come up with other ways to move data to the browser.
Hilla is an open-source framework that integrates a Spring Boot Java backend with a reactive TypeScript frontend. It works with React or Lit and helps you build business apps faster with type-safe server communication, included UI components, and integrated tooling.
You Don't Know JSON: How to Grow From Syntax to Superpowers
Do you really know JSON? We treat it as a simple format for transferring data. But what if that's like using a supercar just to drive to the grocery store?
This talk uncovers patterns that transform JSON from a simple data format into a robust tool for building scalable applications. We'll explore using JSON for everything from data validation to defining agentic workflows. We'll even share how to leverage JSON as a Domain-Specific Language (DSL)
to define entire UI layouts.
To make these concepts tangible, we'll conclude with a real-world case study: a deep dive into how the visual content builder Beefree SDK uses a JSON-first architecture as its source of truth. Leave this session with a new appreciation for the tool you use every day and a
new set of superpowers to apply to your own projects.
