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.

To provide SRE as a service, a team built a center of excellence, introducing Federated SREs and roles like production manager and technical tribe lead. They created a culture of data-driven conversations where SLOs and SLAs were democratised. Surviving growing cognitive load meant continuously simplifying architecture and embedding sovereignty and resilience into platform design decisions.

The speakers discuss the architectural challenges of executing safe data deletion across distributed datastores. Balancing durability, availability & correctness, they explain how to orchestrate multi-system deletion propagation without impacting live traffic. They share lessons on controlling tombstone accumulation, building continuous audit loops, and gaining trust with a centralized platform.

Architectural change cases extend architecture decision record (ADR) thinking by evaluating how decisions may evolve over time. Change cases expose hidden assumptions and help teams estimate the reversibility and cost of change.

AWS disclosed that Resilient Network Graphs, a flat network architecture based on quasi-random graph theory, is now the default for most new data center builds. The design replaces fat-tree hierarchies with direct ToR-to-ToR mesh connections using passive optical ShuffleBoxes, cutting routers by 69%, boosting throughput by 33%, and reducing network power consumption by 40%.

Vercel has released Next.js 16.2, featuring performance enhancements that make development startup 400% faster and rendering up to 60% quicker. The update includes AI-assisted development tools, improved Turbopack efficiency, and better error reporting. Migration from Next.js 15 is supported, and compatibility is set for Node.js 20.9 and TypeScript 5.1 or newer.
