April 2026 Developer Meetup: DHIS2 Performance Testing and Accessibility 101

Hi everyone!

For April’s edition of the Developer Community Meetup, happening 2026-04-09T09:00:00Z, we have two good presentations in store for your enrichment:

  1. DHIS2 Performance Testing: To support the efforts to engineer DHIS2 to run as performantly as possible, especially with large volumes of data and metadata, the core team has developed infrastructure for accurately and repeatably testing performance of the DHIS2 core. This can test a variety of functions and give insight into areas that need improvement, and then validate changes that improve the performance. @ivo will present how they’ve set up this infrastructure, the kinds of visualizations it gives, what it means for your instances, and how your participation is important :chart_increasing:

  2. Accessibility 101 (rescheduled from last month): Our designer at DHIS2, Joe Cooper (@joecooper), will present some of the most important principles to follow when developing apps to make them accessible and usable to as many users as possible. Accessible interfaces ensure the effectiveness of a product, and can sometimes be part of project requirements for extensions. He’ll cover keyboard navigation, use of color, contrast, and other principles that are key to making accessible interfaces, and take time for questions and discussion :artist_palette:

To register for the meetup, please click this link. Upon registering, you will receive a DM on the CoP with the Zoom link for the event, and you’ll receive an email with a calendar invitation for the time slot. If you have registered before, you can use the same meeting link.
