This month we'll meet at First Magnitude Brewery and have a relaxed "Open Spaces" style meeting. What is Open Spaces? That's inspired by the formal Open Spaces approach where the subjects that are most interesting get discussed. In our case, we have one member who just finished two smartphone apps, so those case studies are very interesting candidates for discussion. We have another member who is working with a startup that is adding lots of features to their website practically real time. I could go on, but I think you get the idea.
First Magnitude has a big, open courtyard in back, so look for me and bring whatever you'd like to support your talk. Digital is great, too!
FYI, GatorJUG has one ticket to Open Source Bridge to raffle off. It's a fantastic conference. We also may have discounts available to OSCON.
Hope to see you there. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

At GrafanaCON 2026 in Barcelona, Grafana Labs announced Grafana 13 with the new Loki Kafka-backed architecture at the ingestion layer and the AI Observability in Grafana Cloud to monitor and evaluate AI systems in real time. In particular, the new CLI called GCX was announced, designed to surface Grafana Cloud data inside agentic development environments.

Observability must evolve with serverless, event-driven architectures. OpenTelemetry can decouple telemetry from vendors, letting developers emit consistent, high-quality data that explains real system behavior. Shared vocabularies and good telemetry make debugging faster and improve reliability, speed, and developer productivity.

Frank Yu shares Coinbase’s engineering philosophy for building resilient, fair, and fast financial exchanges. He explains the power of a single-threaded architecture combined with the Raft consensus algorithm to maintain 24/7 availability. He discusses how determinism enables zero-downtime rolling deployments and the ability to replay production logs for perfect bug reproduction.
