Vaadin invites you to their event

Starting Java projects: Lessons from the field

About this event

When kicking off a new Java project — or modernizing an old one — the early decisions around tech stacks, team setup, architecture, and budgeting can make all the difference. But what actually drives those decisions in 2025?

Join us for a relaxed, honest conversation with experienced Java practitioners as they reflect on the key considerations they’ve seen in the field — from real-world tradeoffs to lessons learned, and everything in between.

We’ll touch on:

  • Team structure & developer experience
  • Technology & stack decisions
  • Project lifecycle & maintainability strategies
  • Budgeting & business alignment
  • How context shapes everything
