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

Randy Shoup discusses the "Velocity Initiative," a transformation that doubled engineering productivity and modernized eBay’s DORA metrics.

Docker Extensions boost developer speed but create a "visibility gap" by isolating telemetry. To meet enterprise needs, extensions must act as bridges to centralized platforms. This article details how to use OpenTelemetry, policy-as-code, and encryption to build secure pipelines. Learn to balance developer productivity with the governance required for scalable, compliant observability.

Airbnb's observability engineering team has published details of a large-scale migration away from StatsD and a proprietary Veneur-based aggregation pipeline toward a modern, open-source metrics stack built on OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP), the OpenTelemetry Collector, and VictoriaMetrics' vmagent. The resulting system now ingests over 100 million samples per second in production.
