Event Description
Hi Gatorjuggies!
We had a PaaS presentation planned for this month's meeting, but it looks like it's going to be September instead. So, stay tuned for that.
Meanwhile, let's all take a breather until September since many of us are out of town.
Please keep an eye on Codetown for updates on summer news and conferences. I'm making last minute plans for OSCON and I have discount codes for you if you want to go.
=================
We have a lot to talk about this month:
Upcoming conferences - among others, ever have an itch to visit Ukraine? Well, if you have a nice talk, the JUG in Lviv will pay your travel expenses! There's a Java conference in Krakow June 9. JavaOne is in September and we have discount codes for you. OSCON is in Portland in July (discount codes also available).
Job opportunities - there are several interesting opportunities to explore.
Technology - Let's have a roundtable discussion about your favorite technologies, open spaces style. I want to talk about Map Reduce and Big Data.
Also, Julie in beautiful Prague at JetBrains, the company behind products like Idea, the powerful Java IDE, is going to give us a free license to raffle off. http://www.jetbrains.com
And, there's more!
This will be an interesting meeting, to be sure. So, please RSVP so we'll know how much pizza to order. Feel free to invite a friend.
As always, I hope to see you there.
All the best,
Michael Levin

Essential for engineering leaders aiming for system reliability.
By Martha LambertAWS Disruption Exposes Fragility in Critical Cloud Infrastructure
On October 20, 2025, Amazon Web Services (AWS) experienced a major outage that disrupted global internet services, affecting millions of users and thousands of companies across more than 60 countries. The incident originated in the US-EAST-1 region and was traced to a DNS resolution failure affecting the DynamoDB endpoint, which cascaded into outages across multiple dependent services.
By Craig RisiThe Decisions You Don't Know You're Making: QCon Keynote Explores Hidden Choices in Engineering
Engineering teams make their most consequential decisions not in architecture reviews or sprint planning, but through invisible choices embedded in metrics, defaults, and everyday behaviors. In their QCon San Francisco 2025 keynote, Shawna Martell and Dan Fike challenged the industry's focus on documented decision-making while the decisions that truly shape systems and culture go unrecognized.
By Eran StillerParting the Clouds: The Rise of Disaggregated Systems by Murat Demirbas at QCon SF 2025
Cloud computing is evolving through disaggregation, addressing inefficiencies of traditional architectures by decoupling compute and storage. This shift enhances scalability, fault isolation, and operational simplicity, driven by advancements in networking. As seen in cloud databases such as Amazon Aurora, embracing these principles enables true economic optimization and innovative design.
