J-Fall 2022: NLJUG Innovation Award

Adyen – Transforming a Traditional Terminal into a Modern Cloud Solution Technology is moving fast. In-person payments used to be the exception. Traditionally, businesses had to buy dedicated hardware to be able to take payments. With Tap to Pay on iPhone, merchants can start accepting contactless payments on-the-go by transforming any iPhone into a virtual payment terminal. In this talk, we will show what it took to transform a single-process payment terminal into a cloud architecture that can handle thousands of transactions at the same time. Omoda – Automating photos adjustments using AI technologies Due to the growth of our company, we had to automate the processes of our photo department. This presented challenges as there were many specific actions involved in creating photo crops, which in turn differ from piece to piece. With our Java team, we have managed to reduce all operations related to image editing, cropping and selection using Google Vision AI and TensorFlow technology. In this conversation we will guide you through the process and the associated challenges of incorporating this into our Java applications. Maqqie – Make work work In the past year we have gained serious traction on the first part of our journey. We have gained momentum with our pay propositions and have achieved rewarded growth results alongside. In 2022 we started the discovery to increase development of part 2 of our platform. This discovery resulted in a 100% product-led focus in our company which is currently being implemented. After setting up a first version of our platform, we now want to iterate further and grow towards a web-scale platform based on a microservice architecture, that discloses a wide array of interfaces to users of our platform. This will be in the shape of native apps for people working via our platform, to disclosing APIs that are capable of connecting our compliant core services directly to the existing systems in large organisations.
