What happens when 'just integrate Stripe' isn't enough? As platforms grow, payments turn from a simple integration into a complex web of gateways, compliance, and strategy conflicts. This talk is for anyone who's hit scaling pain. I'll walk through the hard lessons from moving millions through fragmented systems, and show how treating payments as orchestration, not a feature, can unlock real growth. No fluff, just the realities of building monetization systems that scale.
The best part? I’ll end with a live demo of this running in production on Smallpdf, where we built and shipped our in-house reactive frontend orchestration system in React, now serving tens of millions of users worldwide.

![[VDBUH2026] Roberto Cortez - How difficult can it be to write efficient code?
When we write code, we often prioritize completing our feature over performance. However, performance may become a bottleneck, requiring additional resources and time. When we reach that point, how should we proceed?
In this session, we will explore tools that can help us identify performance problems and focus our code improvements in the most beneficial areas. Some of these tools include AsyncProfiler, JMH, JFR, and others. Expect a session with lots of demos, live coding, real-life examples, and tips and tricks to help you get started on improving your code’s performance.
