Codetown ::: a software developer's community
Join us for an informative meeting on Spring Batch.
In this presentation we will take a high level look at the Spring Batch project. This presentation is ideal for anybody who would like to get an introduction to the framework, its use cases and what it provides you as the developer to build robust batch jobs with minimal effort.
Chris Schaefer is a Principal Software Engineer working at Pivotal (the company behind the Spring Framework) on the Spring Batch team. He has been working in the systems and software industry for over 15 years. Chris currently resides in Venice, FL with his wife and cat.

By Steef-Jan WiggersPlanetScale has recently announced that vector support is now generally available. Created as a fork of MySQL, this new feature allows storing vector data alongside an application's relational MySQL data, removing the need for a separate specialized vector database.
By Renato LosioShawna Martell shares practical strategies to effectively manage legacy code and tech debt. Learn how to lift existing code, gain buy-in for improvements, and build new systems with future maintainability in mind using encapsulation, testing, and linting. She explains the Strangler Fig pattern and provides actionable advice for creating code that ages gracefully and minimizes future headaches.
By Shawna MartellA rigid hierarchical dynamic between senior and junior software engineers can stifle innovation, discourage fresh perspectives, and create barriers to collaboration. According to Beth Anderson, senior engineers can actively learn from their junior counterparts. She suggests creating an environment of mutual growth, psychological safety, and continuous learning.
By Ben LindersFor systems that require strict synchronization—like distributed databases, telemetry pipelines, or event-driven architectures—handling leap seconds incorrectly can lead to data loss, duplication, or inconsistencies. As such, managing leap seconds accurately ensures system reliability and consistency across environments that depend on high-precision time.
