Hi!
Join us to look at what’s new in Java 9, 10 and 11. Also, to understand the new Java release cycle. Jim’s the point man on that and also a JavaFX expert, so there’s a chance to ask some other questions.
Agenda,
1) New Java Release Cadence
2) What’s new in Java 9
3) What’s new in Java 10
4) What’s new in Java 11
Jim is a Master Sales Consultant in Oracle’s Java Group.
His primary role is to advise Fortune 500 companies on best Java security practices and Java Roadmap planning.
He has spent the past 20 years, starting with Sun Microsystems,
working with Java specializing in distributed Object and UI technologies.
Jim is the primary author of the book, “JavaFX: Developing Rich Internet Applications”.
Of course, we’ll have great pizza and bevs (thanks to Oracle this time!) and be sure to RSVP because that’s how we determine how much to buy.
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.
