JPA 2.1 Entity Graphs
Spring Data JPA makes querying easy, but the typical use case is to use lazy loading on child records, which can result in performance issues, such as the dreaded "N+1 selects" problem. JPA 2.1 introduced Entity Graphs, allowing you to explicilty state which entities get loaded at runtime, resulting in highly performant query joins. We’ll take a look at how to implement Entity Graphs in the context of a Spring Boot application.
Let me know if you’ll help out by sponsoring pizza. Thanks, Mike Levin

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.

In an effort to probe the limits of autonomous software development Anthropic used sixteen Claude Opus 4.6 AI agents to build a Rust-based C compiler from scratch. Working in parallel on a shared repository, the agents coordinated their changes and ultimately produced a compiler capable of building the Linux 6.9 kernel across x86, ARM, and RISC-V, as well as many other open-source projects.

A recent article by Google Cloud SREs describes how they use the AI-powered Gemini CLI internally to resolve real-world outages. This approach improves reliability in critical infrastructure operations and reduces incident response time by integrating intelligent reasoning directly into the terminal-based operational tools.

Google has overhauled Firestore’s query engine, introducing "Pipeline operations" that enable complex server-side aggregations and array unnesting. The update shifts Firestore Enterprise toward an optional indexing model, allowing architects to prioritize write speed and lower costs. While it brings parity with MongoDB-style aggregations, the preview currently lacks real-time and emulator support.

Sahil Dua discusses the critical role of embedding models in powering search and RAG applications at scale. He explains the transformer-based architecture, contrastive learning techniques, and the process of distilling large language models into production-ready student models. He shares insights on optimizing query latency, handling document indexing, and evaluating retrieval quality.
