Hello OrlandoJUG!
This month I will be in San Francisco for Java One, Oracle's annual Java conference. Fortunately, Alex Buckles and Gregg Groves will be here to lead the meeting. Thanks, guys!
Our topic this month is Distributed Caching with JCache and Beyond. JCache is vendor-neutral caching specification for Java. No need for proprietary non-standard caching solutions in Java land anymore. In this talk, Greg Luck will cover how distributed caching works in general, capabilities of JCache API, use cases, best practices and the future of JCache.
Viktor Gamov is our presenter. Viktor joined Hazelcast with over 5 years of experience in architecting and building enterprise applications using open source technologies. In his previous roles, he has helped financial companies and startups with various Java and HTML5 projects. He holds an MS in Computer Science. He is a co-author of the O’Reilly book «Enterprise Web Development. From Desktop To Mobile». Viktor has presented at various international conferences (http://lanyrd.com/gamussa) on Java and JavaScript related topics. Find him on Twitter @gamussa.
We usually socialize from 6-7 and the meeting begins at around 7. So, don't worry if you can't get to Canvs by 6.
Meanwhile, thanks for your interest and have fun at this month's JUG meeting. Please feel free to spread the word: you can use Codetown's invite feature to invite your friends.
I'll have a lot to tell you after JavaOne. Oh, and if you'd like a discount code good for 20% off J1, just let me know.

Despite widespread industry recommendations, a new ETH Zurich paper concludes that AGENTS.md files may often hinder AI coding agents. The researchers recommend omitting LLM-generated context files entirely and limiting human-written instructions to non-inferable details, such as highly specific tooling or custom build commands.

DoorDash has rebuilt its Dasher onboarding into a unified, modular platform to support global expansion. The new architecture uses reusable step modules, a centralized status map, and workflow orchestration to ensure consistent, localized onboarding experiences. This design reduces complexity, supports market-specific variations, and enables faster rollout to new countries.

OpenAI's $110B funding includes AWS as the exclusive third-party distributor for the Frontier agent platform, introducing an architectural split: Azure retains stateless API exclusivity; AWS gains stateful runtime environments via Bedrock. Deal expands the existing $38B AWS agreement by $100B and commits 2GW of Trainium capacity.

Sophie Koonin discusses the realities of large-scale technical migrations, using Monzo’s shift to TypeScript as a roadmap. She explains how to handle "bends in the road," from documentation and tooling to setting measurable milestones. Sophie shares vital lessons on balancing technical debt with feature work and provides a framework for deciding if a migration is truly worth the effort.
