Tech Events at tcube workspaces, Dublin

with Alex Hoare (Independent IT consultant, )

Stackand.Co's monthly Tech Pro Ireland evening at tcube workspaces on O'Connell Street. Independent IT consultant Alex Hoare walks through how modern IT incidents develop, where the evidence lives in Microsoft 365 and on endpoints, why backups alone don't guarantee recovery, and the practical steps that separate a bad day from a business-ending one. Free; seats reserved through Tito.

with Juarez Barbosa Jnr (Sr. Principal Java Developer Evangelist, Oracle)

Rust Dublin's 263rd meetup, at tcube on O'Connell Street, on the new native Rust driver for Oracle Database. Juarez Barbosa Jnr of Oracle walks through rust-oracledb, a pure Rust thin driver that talks the Oracle Net protocol directly with no external dependencies. The session goes from installing the driver and basic authentication to running queries, connection pooling for applications that need scalable access, and a practical introduction to AI Vector Search. He has over twenty years in the field, previously leading Azure developer relations at Microsoft. Booking is through rustdublin.org as well as Meetup. Free, 18:15. Why go: a 263-edition meetup is a real community, not a launch event, and this is a first look at a driver that removes the C dependency Rust teams have been working around. Best for Rust developers and backend engineers on Oracle estates.

The Dublin Java User Group's 269th meeting, at tcube. Long-running, genuinely technical, and one of the city's most durable developer communities.

A free hybrid morning at tcube for early-career and student innovators working with AI, cross-run by TechMeetup.space and the CHAI Dublin chatbot community.

with Brian Pane (Open Source Developer (ex-Roblox, Pinterest, Dropbox, Facebook), Independent)

Brian Pane — who spent his career leading networking and infrastructure software at Roblox, Pinterest, Dropbox, and Facebook before retiring to open source Rust — brings two technical talks: one on testing unsafe Rust code, one on hardware-aware performance optimization using his work on zlib-rs. Substance from someone who has shipped at scale.

DubJUG's 265th event with professor Željko Kozina: a REST-to-GraphQL migration deep-dive using Netflix as case study, and a Java garbage collection optimisation session. Free entry at TCube.
