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.

JobRunr has introduced ClawRunr, an open-source Java AI agent for scheduled, recurring, and one-off background tasks. Formerly JavaClaw, it runs on users' hardware and combines conversational interaction with persistent task execution, MCP tools, browser automation, and web, Telegram, and Discord channels, while using JobRunr for scheduling, retries, and monitoring.

Confluent introduces a new approach in Apache Kafka that moves schema IDs from message payloads to record headers, aiming to simplify schema governance and evolution. The update integrates with Schema Registry, improves compatibility across serialization formats, and reduces coupling between data and metadata in event-driven architectures.

Hilary Mason shares her journey from academia to building AI products at scale. She discusses the shift from discrete engineering to probabilistic mindsets, explaining why managing "human considerations" is the hardest part of the stack. She explains the "existential crisis" for engineers, arguing that great architecture today is about context management, systems thinking, and good taste.

Vitest 4.1, developed by VoidZero, enhances JavaScript testing with features like test tags for filtering and configuring tests, an experimental mode to bypass Vite's module runner, and new lifecycle hooks. It supports Vite 8 from the start. Notably, it reports improvements in performance compared to Jest. The release addresses issues and provides guides for migration.
