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.

Microsoft recently released a security advisory and patched a critical vulnerability in ASP.NET Core that allows an attacker to bypass a security feature over a network due to an inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests. With a CVSS score of 9.9 out of 10, CVE-2025-55315 is the highest-rated Microsoft vulnerability.

Operating massive reverse proxy fleets reveals hard lessons: optimizations that work on smaller systems fail at scale; mundane oversights like missing commas cause major outages; and abstractions meant to simplify become hidden fragility points. Success requires profiling on target hardware, relentlessly monitoring boring details, keeping hot paths lean, and trusting instrumentation over theory.

Google Cloud's Expert Services Team has released a detailed guide on chaos engineering for cloud-based distributed systems. It highlights that the intentional creation of failures is essential for developing resilient architectures. The initiative provides open-source recipes and helpful guidance for applying controlled disruption testing in Google Cloud environments.

Anthropic released Claude Haiku 4.5, making the model available to all users as its latest entry in the small, fast model category. The company positions the new model as delivering performance levels comparable to Claude Sonnet 4, which launched five months ago as a state-of-the-art model, but at "one-third the cost and more than twice the speed."

Anthropic's Alignment Science team released a study on poisoning attacks on LLM training. The experiments covered a range of model sizes and datasets, and found that only 250 malicious examples in pre-training data were needed to create a "backdoor" vulnerability. Anthropic concludes that these attacks actually become easier as models scale up.
