JavaOne 2026 Session

Summary

“Full Stack Developer” often means working across HTML, CSS, JavaScript frameworks, databases, and cloud services — powerful, but a lot to manage and maintain. What if building modern web applications didn’t require a full stack at all? At the JavaOne Hack Haus, we’ll explore how far you can go using mostly Java. We’ll live-demonstrate building enterprise-ready UI and persistence using open-source technologies like Vaadin and EclipseStore, and we’ll discuss trade-offs, productivity, onboarding, and long-term maintenance. Drop in, ask questions, challenge assumptions — and see how small a stack can realistically become.
