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

Google Research unveiled TurboQuant, a novel quantization algorithm that compresses large language models’ Key-Value caches by up to 6x. With 3.5-bit compression, near-zero accuracy loss, and no retraining needed, it allows developers to run massive context windows on significantly more modest hardware than previously required. Early community benchmarks confirm significant efficiency gains.

Celine Pypaert discusses the ubiquitous nature of open-source software and shares a blueprint for securing modern applications. She explains how to prioritize high-risk vulnerabilities using exploitability data, the role of Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), and the importance of bridging the gap between DevOps and Security through clear accountability and automated governance.

Zendesk argues that GenAI shifts the bottleneck in software delivery from writing code to “absorption capacity”, which is the organisation’s ability to define problems clearly, integrate changes into the wider system, and turn implementation into reliable value. As code becomes abundant, architectural coherence, review capacity, and delivery flow become the main constraints.

Anthropic researcher Nicholas Carlini used Claude Code to find a remotely exploitable heap buffer overflow in the Linux kernel's NFS driver, undiscovered for 23 years. Five kernel vulnerabilities have been confirmed so far. Linux kernel maintainers report that AI bug reports have recently shifted from slop to legitimate findings, with security lists now receiving 5-10 valid reports daily.

At Lead Bank, synchronous telemetry flushing caused intermittent exporter stalls to become user-facing 504 gateway timeouts. By leveraging AWS Lambda's Extensions API and goroutine chaining in Go, flush work is moved off the response path, returning responses immediately while preserving full observability without telemetry loss.
