Event Description
This month, the Sarasota Java Users group explores Grails. Grails is a web application development platform that uses the Groovy language. Grails runs on top of technologies you know and love such as Java, Spring, and Hibernate.
This presentation is about introducing Grails and some of the benefits it provides. Ravi will be presenting the following sub topics:
1. Why Grails?
2. A simplistic web site in 5 minutes, maybe 2 :)
3. Grails is based on groovy: so a brief tour of Groovy features that makes coding super fun!
4. Convention over configuration.
5. Scaffolding.
6. Dynamic methods based on Model. No need of DAOs.
7. Easy database integration
8. Integration with Hibernate/Spring outside project
Our speaker, Ravi Hasija, is a software engineer and has been actively involved in web development for past 4 years, Ravi currently working at Andesa where he uses GWT, Hibernate, and other JavaEE related technologies (JSPs, EJB etc)

Cloudflare’s Post-Quantum GeoKey Manager Enters Closed Beta Without Attribute-Based Encryption
Cloudflare has moved a post-quantum rebuild of GeoKey Manager into closed beta, guarding geo-fenced keys with hybrid ML-KEM-768 and X25519 instead of the attribute-based encryption used since 2022. Keys live only in kernel memory on verified regional servers, and any failed check rejects the request, a fail-closed choice practitioners ask could cause a regional outage. GA is planned for Q1 2027.

LocalStack has opened its Azure emulator to a free public preview, running Azure services locally and accepting existing ARM, Bicep, and Terraform without rewrites. Its own documentation reports partial operation coverage per service and a consistent pattern: configuration is stored and returned, while enforcement of access restrictions, TLS, and network rules is not implemented.
