Event Description
This month at the Sunjug, David Chandler from Google with discuss two technologies for developing and deploying Rich Internet Applications.
What’s New in GWT 2.1
Google Web Toolkit (GWT) lets you build and optimize rich
browser-based apps without having to be an expert in browser quirks,XMLHttpRequest, or JavaScript. In this talk, we'll look at powerful new capabilities in GWT 2.1 including MVP architecture with Activities and Places, client-server communication with RequestFactory, visual layout with GWT Designer for Eclipse, and performance optimization
with SpeedTracer.
Launching scalable apps with Google App Engine
Google AppEngine lets you build and host scalable Web applications written in Python or Java on Google's infrastructure. We'll look at how to build and deploy a GWT+GAE application with Google Plugin for Eclipse and get an overview of building the App Engine way, including
working with the Datastore, task queues, and quotas.

OpenAI described how it scaled PostgreSQL to support ChatGPT and its API platform, handling millions of queries per second for hundreds of millions of users. By running a single-primary PostgreSQL deployment on Azure with nearly 50 read replicas, optimizing query patterns, and offloading write-heavy workloads to sharded systems, OpenAI maintained low-latency reads while managing write pressure.

WhatsApp has rewritten its media handling library in Rust, replacing 160,000 lines of C++ with 90,000 lines of memory-safe code for 3 billion devices. The rollout, part of a system called Kaleidoscope, uses differential fuzzing to ensure bug-for-bug compatibility. The move mirrors a decade-long industry shift toward memory safety, tracing back to Mozilla's first Rust MP4 parser deployment in 2016.
By Steef-Jan WiggersArticle: You’ve Generated Your MVP Using AI. What Does That Mean for Your Software Architecture?
AI‑generated code creates implicit architectural decisions, forcing teams to rely on experimentation to validate quality attributes. To get useful results from AI, teams must clearly express trade‑offs and reasoning so the model can generate solutions aligned with desired QARs.
