Join us for a Reactive Spring talk featuring Miguel Mendez.
Miguel Mendez is a software engineer from Orlando Florida. He currently works for FlexEngage as a Lead Developer.
With more than 20 years of experience in the business he is passionate about web technologies, user experience and distributed systems.
As a Domain Driven Design practitioner he believes in the importance of understanding the core domain in order to build useful software.
Reactive programming has been getting lots of attention lately, Projects like Reactive Extensions (Rx) library in the .NET, RxJS, RXJava, and lately Project Reactor have brought Reactive programming into the main scene. Reactive programming is basically programming with asynchronous data streams.
Spring 5 (first milestone June 2016) has reactive features built into it, including tools for building HTTP servers and clients.
We will see a very familiar programming model using annotations to decorate controller methods to handle HTTP requests, for the most part handing off the dispatching of reactive requests and back pressure concerns to the framework. We will also take a look at a more functional way of building web applications on Spring.
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.

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.
