Join us for an Open Spaces meeting this month, hosted by your JUG Leader, Mike. Open Spaces is a style of meeting in which everyone gets the chance to contribute. Mike has had many meaningful and enjoyable experiences over the years both leading and participating in Open Spaces meetings.
This will be a pot luck dinner style meeting with sponsors Cambridge Web Design, www.cambridgeweb.ie and another sponsor TBA. So, please bring a tasty dish and or beverage if you can. Don't worry if you can't bring anything. Just bring some energy to participate and an appetite.
Please RSVP here on this event announcement (you must be a Codetown member to see the RSVP option here, otherwise it's invisible!)
And, please help us by spreading the word about these meetings, and invite some friends. The Codetown invite feature us a great way to spread the word. Also, be sure to join the OrlandoJUG group here on Codetown to be notified about all the OrlandoJUG activities.

Michael Levin has decided to hide the list of guests.
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.

Airbnb has redesigned its identity system to support privacy-first social features in Experiences. The platform introduces context-specific profiles that separate global user identity from externally visible profiles, preventing cross-context linkage. The migration leveraged automated auditing, manual validation, and AI-assisted refactoring to enforce correct identity usage across services.

JEP 533, Structured Concurrency, has reached integrated status for JDK 27. It refines exception handling and type safety in its API, particularly focusing on exception flow with a new ExecutionException type. Changes include an updated Joiner interface and a new open overload for easier configuration. The steady evolution signals ongoing development as feedback shapes the API.

Paulo Arruda discusses Shopify’s evolution in AI adoption, moving from simple chat tools to a sophisticated swarm of specialized agents. He explains the transition from massive "all-in-one" prompts to lean, narrow-focused agent microservices that slash task times from hours to minutes. He also shares a future-looking hypothesis on using filesystem-based adapters to solve context bloat.

Backlogs in distributed systems are arithmetic problems, not mysteries. This article provides practical formulas for calculating backlog drain time, sizing consumer headroom, and setting auto-scaling triggers. It covers key failure modes — retry amplification, metastable states, and cascading pipeline bottlenecks — plus when to shed load instead of draining.

Grafana Labs has launched Pyroscope 2.0, a rearchitected open-source continuous profiling database. This version improves storage costs, query performance, and operational complexity. Key changes include single write paths for profiles, stateless query processing, and enhanced capabilities for profiling data. It supports the OpenTelemetry Protocol, aligning with current trends in observability.
