Heroku will present their Polyglot Cloud Application Platform that makes it easy to deploy Java & Play! apps to the cloud.
Deployment is as simple as doing a "git push". This session will teach you how to deploy and scale Java & Play! apps on Heroku.
About Heroku
Heroku is a cloud application platform – a new way of building and deploying web apps. The service lets app developers spend 100% of their time on their application code, not managing servers, deployment, ongoing operations, or scaling.
Meeting Schedule:
* 6-6:45 PM: Networking
* 6:45 - 8:30 PM: Presentation
Food and refreshments will be provided by Heroku
The event will be hosted by Community Foundation of Sarasota, located at 2635 Fruitville Rd, Sarasota, FL 34237, which is west of exit 210 off I75.
All are welcome. Please RSVP

Sudeep Das and Pradeep Muthukrishnan explain the shift from static merchandising to dynamic, moment-aware personalization at DoorDash. They share how LLMs generate natural-language "consumer profiles" and content blueprints, while traditional deep learning handles last-mile ranking. This hybrid approach allows the platform to adapt to short-lived user intent and massive catalog abundance.

PDF table extraction often looks easy until it fails in production. Real bank statements can be messy, with scanned pages, shifting layouts, merged cells, and wrapped rows that break standard Java parsers. This article shares how we redesigned the approach using stream parsing, lattice/OCR, validation, scoring, and selective ML to make extraction more reliable in real banking systems.

Cloudflare's Project Think introduces a new framework for AI agents, shifting from stateless orchestration to a durable actor-based infrastructure. It features a kernel-like runtime enabling agents to manage memory and run code securely. Innovations include Fibers for checkpointing progress and a Session API for relational conversations, enhancing agent efficiency and resilience.

LinkedIn introduces Cognitive Memory Agent (CMA), generative AI infrastructure layer enabling stateful, context-aware systems. It provides persistent memory across episodic, semantic, and procedural layers, supporting multi-agent coordination, retrieval, and lifecycle management. CMA addresses LLM statelessness and enables production-grade personalization and long-term context in AI applications.
