Mendix Community Netherlands

Forget long presentations: this Meetup is all about fun, teamwork, and getting to know the Mendix community—the InnSpire way! Instead of sitting back, you’ll be competing in small teams across a series of Mendix-InnSpired games and puzzles. Think escape-room meets De Slimste Mens, with a twist of low-code.

What can you expect?
🎭 Team-based challenges where creativity, collaboration, and Mendix knowledge go hand in hand.
🧩 A variety of fast-paced rounds—from quirky quizzes and memory tests to hands-on Mendix puzzles.
👑 Lighthearted competition under time pressure: every round earns your team points—until one team is crowned Community Champion.
💬 A guaranteed way to meet new people, mix with the community, and share a lot of laughs along the way.

🚀 Join us for a Mendix meetup at our Finaps office in Amsterdam!
While Mendix offers support for unit testing, understanding how much of your app is actually covered can be a challenge. Until now, test coverage tools required command-line scripts, full model exports, and offered little visual feedback. That’s why we built a custom Studio Pro extension to bring real-time test coverage insight directly into Mendix Studio Pro.
Using the new Mendix Extensibility API, we developed a seamless way to view test coverage at a glance with no terminals or guesswork. With clear charts, detailed flow-by-flow breakdowns, and smart configuration options, you’ll instantly see which logic is covered and where gaps remain.
Creating this extension came with its own set of challenges with will be discussed at the meetup: integrating with Mendix’s runtime, syncing with project data, and ensuring performance in daily workflows.

Topics:
💻 From Terminal to IDE: How we replaced a clunky workflow with a fully embedded extension;
📊 Visualizing Coverage: Showing complex test data in an intuitive way;
🤖 Towards Automation: Our plans to auto-generate unit tests for validation flows.

Join us to see the tool in action and help shape what’s next. Remember to reserve your spot as this will only be an in person event.

Is Snowflake only relevant for your typical data warehouse use cases? Think again!

Over the past few years, the Mendix and Snowflake partnership has developed into a mature, two-way collaboration with a variety of connectors and implementation patterns ready to use. During this Meetup, we will showcase different use cases that have been deployed in production. You will hear experiences from both customer and developer perspectives, ensuring there are tangible insights to take home for everyone. Expect both in-depth and hands-on content, as we have invited speakers from DSI (a Mendix + Snowflake customer), a Snowflake partner, and Mendix to share the latest updates from both sides.

What to expect?
We aim to provide an honest and comprehensive view of what’s possible when combining Mendix with Snowflake. To achieve this, we have a packed agenda and experts from all involved parties. We will address questions like:

• What use cases bring real value and benefits over using Mendix only?
• Is Snowflake only relevant to large enterprises, or is there relevance to smaller / medium enterprises too?
• What does a Mendix consultant need to know about Snowflake to use it effectively?
• And what does a Snowflake user need to know about Mendix to collaborate effectively?
• Why use Snowflake if you have Mendix OQL?
• Will I go bankrupt when creating a Snowflake account?
  And as “The proof is in the pudding”, expect some live demonstrations with the various connectors as well ❄️
  The presentations will conclude with a Q&A. You are also welcome to share your own experience with the crowd.

See you there!

Program
17:30–18:30 — Walk-in & Dinner 🍽️
18:30–19:45 — Presentations 🎤

Presentations:
Intro – Andrik de Jager Executive Director of IT @BAM
Brief introduction of BAM and the location HomeStudios
Presentation 1: API Commons - Matthijs de Boer Lead Developer @BAM & Ivo de Boer Mendix Expert @Valcon

Mendix offers standard actions for publishing and consuming APIs, but as you might know, many essential functionalities such as logging, error handling, request/response caching, and retry mechanisms need to be implemented manually. This can be time-consuming and repetitive, especially since the requirements for most projects tend to be similar. In this presentation + demo we will:

• Share our motivation for creating the module
• Demonstrate some of the key features
• Exchange ideas with the community

Presentation 2: Mendix Platform Integrations , Dionesius Perkasa Associate Product Manager@Mendix
Dion will provide us with an update on the latest Mendix Platform Integration developments. Stay tuned...

Dinner
Diner buffet is being served from 17:30 - 18:30h. There are also vegetarian options.
