Many Java developers are all too familiar with the downsides of traditional ORM frameworks: performance bottlenecks under scale, complex serialization, and recurring issues when refactoring persistent object models. If you’re looking for a modern, high-performance alternative, EclipseStore deserves a closer look – and not just in theory, but in practice.
Experience EclipseStore in Action – Led by a Core Contributor
At this year’s JCON EUROPE 2025, you’ll have a unique opportunity to get hands-on with EclipseStore. Florian Habermann, CTO of MicroStream Software and a core contributor to EclipseStore, is hosting a two-hour practical workshop. Rather than sitting through slides, participants will actively code – in their own IDEs, with Java, and against production-relevant use cases.
Why This Workshop Is Worth Your Time
This workshop “High-Performance Caching with Pure Java: Supercharge Your Sluggy Database Application” is ideal for developers who have worked with JPA or traditional ORM tools and encountered their technical limitations – whether in scaling applications, querying complex object structures, or maintaining evolving data models over time.
Participants will learn how to:
- Set up a blazing-fast EclipseStore instance and tailor its configuration to your project needs.
- Store, query, and lazy-load complex object graphs using the Java Stream API.
- Handle object evolution with legacy type mapping (yep, refactor away without fear).
- Avoid common pitfalls in object modeling and deployment strategies.
- Get expert tips on production deployment from someone who’s been in the trenches.
Learn from the Source
Florian Habermann brings over 20 years of Java expertise and has been involved in numerous high-impact projects. As one of the driving forces behind EclipseStore, he goes beyond the technical documentation – offering insights into design decisions, practical usage patterns, and implementation strategies that truly matter.
“This is not a show. This is real practice,” Habermann emphasizes. And that’s what makes this workshop so valuable: participants won’t just learn what EclipseStore is, they’ll learn how to use it – effectively, and with confidence.
Conclusion: If You’re Working with Java, This Is a Must
The EclipseStore workshop at JCON is more than an introduction to a new persistence engine. It’s an invitation to rethink how we approach data in Java applications – beyond the limitations of traditional ORM and toward a faster, leaner, more modern approach to persistence.
Tickets are limited and must be booked in advance. Early registration is recommended.
