Grenyer: Beyond the Code: Designing Services That Stand the Test of Time","content":"As software engineers, it’s easy to get lost in the excitement of implementing clever business logic: the algorithms, the workflows, the elegant domain models. But the success (or failure) of a service rarely hinges on its core logic alone. What really separates a fragile prototype from a resilient, scalable system is everything that happens around that logic: the invisible scaffolding that shapes how a service behaves, communicates, and recovers when things go wrong.\n\nIn this session I’ll explore the often-overlooked aspects of building robust services. The decisions that make the difference between smooth operations and painful refactors months down the line. I’ll unpack how thoughtful design choices early on can pay dividends in maintainability, observability, and security later. Whether you’re building your first microservice or managing an ecosystem of services, you’ll leave with practical ideas for designing services.\n\nKey Takeaways:\n\n* Why the non-domain aspects of a service are often what determine its long-term success\n* How to think holistically about design, structure, and reliability\n* Strategies for evolving your services without introducing chaos\n\nBio for Paul:\n\nHusband, father, software engineer, metaller, I have been writing software for over 40 years and professionally for more than 25. In that time I have worked for, and in, all sorts of companies from two man startups to world famous investment banks and insurance companies. I have built and run three limited companies, none of which made me a millionaire and two of which threatened my sanity on more than one occasion.\n\nI was a founding member of both SyncNorwich and Norfolk Developers, two of the most successful tech and startup based community groups in the East of England. I created and chaired the hugely successful Norfolk Developers Conference (nor(DEV):con) for seven years bringing in speakers and delegates in the sphere of software engineering from around the globe.\n\nI am currently a Software Engineering Team Lead at Bourne Leisure, the owners of Haven holiday parks. I loath the word Entrepreneur, not least because I struggles to spell it and it reminds me of Del Boy from the 80s sitcom Only Fools and Horses.

No need to register, just come to our event any time between 7-9pm and our event host will welcome you.

Card only please.\n* Get talking! With the help of our host you will be able to find other people attending the event with compatible language interests - we are all very friendly and the majority of our attendees come alone, so there’s no need to worry about getting involved!\n\n**📌 Where are we?**\nWe’re normally located at the Bear Inn: 6 Alfred St, Oxford OX1 4EH https://maps.app.goo.gl/NjcKSJ243y4ghfzE6\n\nHowever, always check the location on this meetup event and in our [WhatsApp Group](https://languagexchanges.com/whatsapp) just in case there is a change.\n\n**💡 Important Info:** Please disregard the attendee numbers shown on Meetup or Facebook.

Many people come solo, and it’s a great way to meet new friends in a relaxed environment.\n**How do I know if language X, Y, Z will be spoken?**\nWith so many people coming to our events, most of the more popular languages will always be present, however if you want you can also check on our whatsapp group or Facebook group to see who is coming for a particular date.\n**What if I don’t speak multiple languages?**\nNo problem!

Most of us wear gym/running gear. Make sure you're prepared for the weather.\n\nDon't feel like you're fit enough? Our tasks are simple and fun.

He has represented the humanist movement extensively on television news on BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Sky, as well as on programmes such as *Newsnight*, *The Daily Politics*, and *The Big Questions*.

Alternatively, you can just browse and socialise if you prefer.\n\nOnce everyone has had a chance to enjoy the market, we will go for a short walk in University Parks, ending with us stopping at the Royal Oak pub for drinks.\n\n**Important Information:** ⚠️\n\n* No tables are reserved at the venue\n* Repeated no-shows or instances of gatecrashing may result in removal from future group events\n* If you require reasonable adjustments, please inform the event organiser in advance\n* Guests must be aged 18 or over\n\n**The Plan:** 💪🏻\n\n* **2 PM:** We will meet at Gloucester Green Market, just outside Thirsty Meeples.\n* **2:10 PM:** You will have the opportunity to try a diverse range of foods and socialise in the Red Lion pub.\n* **3 PM:** We will leave the Red Lion and go for a short walk in Oxford University Parks.\n* **4 PM**: We will stop at the Royal Oak pub for drinks.\n* **5 PM:** The event will come to a close.\n\n**Q&A** 👀\nHere are the common questions asked relating to this event:\n\n**I'm new and feel anxious. Is this group not right for me?** 😨\nAttending for the first time is pushing you out of your comfort zone, so it is normal to feel anxious on your first occasion. We always have a mixture of new and old faces. Regulars are very welcoming and it takes only 2-4 events for most members to feel settled in. Our advice is to give it a shot and reflect afterwards if the event is right for you.\n\n**How will I find you?** 🧐\nOnce the organiser arrives, they will share in the comments roughly where they are located, with a description of what they are wearing.\n\n**We live in Britain, surely it's going to rain?** ☔\nIf this turns out to be the case, an alternative plan will be posted, likely being socialising in a nearby pub or cafe.\n\n**Where will I be able to park?** 🚗\nWhilst it's not impossible to find parking in Oxford, the limited availability, as well as costs, can make parking incredibly challenging. Therefore, we encourage members to use the most convenient public transport available.\n\n**Can I bring additional people with me?** 👩🏻‍🤝‍👨🏽\nYes you can, providing they are aged 18 or over. You are also responsible for any potential problematic behaviours from guests you bring with you. Please put them as +1 when you check-in so we can try and find us enough space.\n\n**Do I have to buy food?** 🍨\nWith the prime focus of the event being to socialise, this is completely optional.\n\n**Is this a dating event?** 👩‍❤️‍👨\nWhilst we recognise and accept that relationships do form in social settings, we ask members to be mindful that this is not an event specifically for dating. Therefore, if your only reason for attending is to find your soulmate, this event will not be the right event for you.\n\n**I think I've found you, but I'm too scared to approach! Can I have the organisers contact number?** 📳\nAs we are not a business, organisers will not be making their personal numbers public. However, we will post in the comments a rough description of where we are located, as well as a description of what the organiser is wearing. The rest is about you stepping out of your comfort zone and approaching!\n\n**Group Rules** 📝\nTo make our events as safe and easy as possible, we ask all members to respect the following guidelines:\n\n**1) Be respectful of others** 🙏🏼\nYou'll encounter diverse individuals, some of whom you may not connect with immediately. Instead of arguing, acknowledge your differences. Refrain from harassing members, whether in person or on social media, outside of events.\n\n**2) Appreciate what the organisers do** ❤️\nPlease remember we are not a business and that all the organisers in the group are hosting events on a voluntary basis. The events we host are for ourselves to enjoy as much as you do.\n\n**3) Have a valid photo of yourself in your profile** 🤳🏾\nThere have been multiple occasions where members have received inappropriate messages, all from members without photos. To help prevent this from happening, we ask all members to provide a photo of themselves.\n\n**4) Update your attending status correctly** ✅\nNot knowing the correct number of attendees can negatively impact the event. Excessive absences and/or gatecrashing events, without valid reasons, will lead to removal from the group.\n\n**5) Do not take control of events hosted** 🤐\nThe organisers already have a plan for the event they are hosting. To prevent any difficulties, respect what the organisers have set up for you. Members are welcome to organise additional activities once the event is over.\n\n**6) Do not advertise your own activities in the group without permission** 🙅🏻\nWhilst we are happy to see additional events, they must apply to the group's structure. If you want to advertise any of your events, contact Kevin.\n\n© 2026 Oxford Social Circle","price":"Free","unit":null,"currency":null,"company":null,"language":"en","online":1,"infoType":1,"biz":"community","postDate":"1767500263000","seoName":"social-at-gloucester-green-and-university-park","supplement":null,"author":null,"originalPrice":null,"soldCnt":null,"topSeller":null,"source":1,"cardType":null,"action":"https://uk.ok.com/en/city-bierton/cate-activities-groups/social-at-gloucester-green-and-university-park-6496003369715412/","localIds":"173","cateId":null,"tid":null,"logParams":{"tid":"89a8f54e-9dea-4ca7-a0bc-2589ab52bc3d","sid":"30b34d0d-b248-4b9b-ba2f-14ca3c766228"},"attrParams":{},"addDate":1767500263260,"categoryName":null,"postCode":null,"secondCateCode":"activities-groups","kycTag":null,"pictureUrls":null,"priceDetail":null,"featureLabels":null,"supplementList":null,"soldCntStr":null,"companyLogo":null,"isFavorite":false},{"category":"6503,6515","location":"17 Woodville Rd, London W5 2SE, UK","infoId":"6487654011417812","pictureUrl":"https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/2/1/2/a/highres_528068490.jpeg","videos":null,"title":"Start 2026 with the experience of Yoga","content":"Meditation has been used as a source of serenity for millennia. The combination of deep inner silence and a renewed spiritual awakening has helped thousands of people from all walks of life achieve a sense of balance they never thought possible.\n\nWe know there are many meditation practices on offer across the world, but we're confident that you'll find something special in Sahaja Yoga.\nIt's not just the meditation itself, it's the overall connection with our core being, the feeling of being comfortable in our own skin again. This comes from the powerful effect of the energies flowing in balance as they should do.\n\nMeditation should be more than just feeling relaxed in the moment. It should lead to a transformative experience which takes us to a new level of awareness and empowerment. Over time we should grow and evolve into the person we know we can be, the person which maybe we've lost as we've faced the challenges of adult life.\n\nBut please don't take our word for it, come and experience it for yourself.","price":"Free","unit":null,"currency":null,"company":null,"language":"en","online":1,"infoType":1,"biz":"community","postDate":"1766847969000","seoName":"start-2026-with-the-experience-of-yoga","supplement":null,"author":null,"originalPrice":null,"soldCnt":null,"topSeller":null,"source":1,"cardType":null,"action":"https://uk.ok.com/en/city-bierton/cate-other31/start-2026-with-the-experience-of-yoga-6487654011417812/","localIds":"19","cateId":null,"tid":null,"logParams":{"tid":"725d66e2-b990-4bca-8663-9fe29a552423","sid":"30b34d0d-b248-4b9b-ba2f-14ca3c766228"},"attrParams":{},"addDate":1766847969641,"categoryName":null,"postCode":null,"secondCateCode":"other31","kycTag":null,"pictureUrls":null,"priceDetail":null,"featureLabels":null,"supplementList":null,"soldCntStr":null,"companyLogo":null,"isFavorite":false}],"localIds":"1,2531","pageTitle":"","topCateCode":null,"catePath":"0","cateName":"All","breadCrumbSeo":{"type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://uk.ok.com/en/city-bierton/","@type":"ListItem"},{"position":2,"name":"All","item":"http://uk.ok.com/en/city-bierton/cate/","@type":"ListItem"}],"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@context":"https://schema.org"},"cateCode":"","total":335,"sortList":[{"sortName":"Best Match","sortId":0},{"sortName":"Newest First","sortId":1},{"sortName":"Lowest Price","sortId":3},{"sortName":"Highest Price","sortId":4}],"hotSearches":["GCC","SUV","Toyota","Petrol","Dubai","AWD","Auto"],"breadCrumb":[{"name":"Home","link":"https://uk.ok.com/en/city-bierton/"},{"name":"All","link":"https://uk.ok.com/en/city-bierton/cate/"}],"tdk":{"type":"tdk","title":"Bierton Classifieds Website - OK","desc":"Bierton Classifieds Website, providing you with a vast range of classified information, including real estate, jobs, second-hand items, vehicles, services, and more.
