Our October event went really good, it was pleasure to see more people attending to Devclub this time. We had around 60 visitors, which is circa 20 more than we got last time in September. Whether it is because of summer is over and people are coming back from vacations or the agenda, the attendance dynamic is positive and I really like it.

This time we had two talks and three speakers. Taivo and Risto from Funderbeam told a story about how they aggregate and validate the data about companies and also about a ‘startup marketplace’ that they’re building at Funderbeam. The talk caused many questions in the audience, mostly about the fact that Funderbeam is going use Blockchain for the marketplace they’re building.

Asko Tiidumaa from Fortumo told a story about how they solved their scalability problems at Fortumo. The key solutions was to break hard-to-scale monolith app down to smaller services that are easier to scale and maintain. Another cool thing they did to increase performance is switched communication between their services to RabbitMQ. Microservices way to solving scalability problems is fairly common, and Fortumo example showed it is efficient too.

This is it for October event wrap-up, here you can get the photos, and videos are coming soon. Follow the announcements and make sure you don’t miss November event – same place, end of November. See you there.
