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

Lyft has implemented an AI-driven localization system to accelerate translations of its app and web content. Using a dual-path pipeline with large language models and human review, the system processes most content in minutes, improves international release speed, ensures brand consistency, and handles complex cases like regional idioms and legal messaging efficiently.

Mariia Bulycheva discusses the transition from classic deep learning to GNNs for Zalando's landing page. She explains the complexities of converting user logs into heterogeneous graphs, the "message passing" training process, and the technical pitfalls of graph data leakage. She shares how a hybrid architecture solved inference latency, delivering contextual embeddings to a downstream model.

InfoQ recently spoke with key members of the Spring team about the significant architectural and functional advancements in Spring Framework 7 and Spring Boot 4. This conversation explores the strategic shift toward core resilience by integrating features such as retry and concurrency throttling directly into the framework, alongside the performance benefits of modularizing auto-configurations.

AWS launched a standalone Sustainability console with API access, configurable CSV exports, and Scope 1-3 emissions data by service and Region. The console decouples emissions reporting from billing permissions. AWS CTO Werner Vogels framed carbon as an architectural metric belonging alongside latency, cost, and error rates in the observability stack.
