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.

OpenAI's ChatGPT Agent merges advanced browsing and summarization for seamless data handling. Developers can now generate editable spreadsheets and presentations with simple prompts, integrating outputs directly into productivity tools. With impressive accuracy and connectivity, it enhances workflow efficiency while automating complex tasks, heralding a new era in AI-driven productivity.
By Andrew HoblitzellLeann Chen explains how knowledge graphs enhance LLM-based systems by providing structured data as a ground truth. She demonstrates how this approach combats critical LLM challenges such as hallucinations and the "lost-in-the-middle" phenomenon, especially within RAG applications. She also highlights the struggles of vector-based LLMs with tasks like sorting and filtering.
By Leann ChenAmazon announced the preview of Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, a collection of enterprise-grade services that help developers deploy and operate AI agents at scale across frameworks and foundation models. The platform addresses infrastructure challenges developers face when building production AI agents.
By Vinod GojeAmazon Web Services has launched a new built-in blue/green deployment feature for Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) to reduce deployment risks and eliminate the need for additional tooling. This capability allows development teams to deploy containerised applications safely whilst maintaining the ability to roll back near-instantaneously if issues arise.
By Matt SaundersZendesk has unveiled its new Foundation Interface, a unified platform designed to transform infrastructure provisioning into a fully self-service experience. This platform enables engineers to request infrastructure components, such as databases, object storage, compute resources, and secrets, by simply defining requirements in a declarative YAML file.
