You've Been Lied To!
You've been told for years that using a persistence framework will insulate your application from changes to the database. As with other such claims, this turned out to be false. When porting a J2EE application to a NoSQL-style system, there are a number of factors to consider.
In this presentation, Tim will take a traditional J2EE application and port it to Google's App Engine. Specific focus will be on the various persistence technologies: Hibernate, SpringJDBC, JPA, JDO, and DAOs.
The goal of this session is to have an interactive discussion about how to take a traditional app, and enable it for deployment in a Cloud environment.

Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

Cloudflare has moved a post-quantum rebuild of GeoKey Manager into closed beta, guarding geo-fenced keys with hybrid ML-KEM-768 and X25519 instead of the attribute-based encryption used since 2022. Keys live only in kernel memory on verified regional servers, and any failed check rejects the request, a fail-closed choice practitioners ask could cause a regional outage. GA is planned for Q1 2027.

LocalStack has opened its Azure emulator to a free public preview, running Azure services locally and accepting existing ARM, Bicep, and Terraform without rewrites. Its own documentation reports partial operation coverage per service and a consistent pattern: configuration is stored and returned, while enforcement of access restrictions, TLS, and network rules is not implemented.
