For those that kept up with the first season of Kotlin Thursdays, I'm happy to say that I'm coming back with a second season - and this time, we have friends gearing up to expand content and stream them as episodes in addition to the blogs we write.
Second season comes back mid-October. For those of you that'd like to check out first season content, head over to Kotlin Town and…

Hey, I started a Kotlin group - check it out and join if you'd like! I just put up a page dedicated to Kotlin links, books, and more resources. Will add more features like popular frameworks and chat later on.
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.

Sriram Madapusi Vasudevan discusses industry-converging patterns for securing autonomous AI agents in production. He explains the critical vulnerabilities hidden inside the ReAct loop across context, reasoning, and tool execution. He shares how to mitigate risks like memory poisoning and rogue tool execution using defense-in-depth strategies, LLM-as-a-judge critics, and MAESTRO threat modeling.

Elastic open-sourced Atlas, a system built on Elasticsearch that maintains three categories of memory for agents. Atlas integrates with agents via MCP and maintains per-user isolation of memories. When evaluated on question-answering capability, it scored 0.89 Recall@10.

AWS launched Lambda MicroVMs, a new serverless compute primitive that runs each user session or AI agent in its own Firecracker virtual machine with hardware-level isolation, snapshot-based rapid launch, and state preservation for up to eight hours. Reddit community analysis found the minimum setup costs $3.03/day, roughly 9x Fargate spot pricing.

Event-driven architecture promises scalability, but in Java-based real-time systems the tradeoffs only surface in production. Drawing on a Java/Kafka contact center platform handling 80k BHCC across 10k agents, this article details where the design breaks down—state management, partition limits, deduplication, JVM tuning, cascading consumer failures—and the Redis-backed patterns that fixed each.

Here's a link to Ramya's recording of Jim Clarke's presentation to the OrlandoJUG on the new Java release cadence and new features in Java 9, 10, and 11 https://drive.google.com/open?id=1HriPfCLQZxTRPBZ6Pr84uRheVK3BKsxc
Amanda, Ramya posted a recording of Jim's talk in the OrlandoJUG Town group.
Great! Amsterdam is one of the best cities in the world. Good luck on your talk. Maybe you can write up some high points for Kotlin Town. I have a good friend in Amsterdam https://www.facebook.com/alan.byrne Try to eat: stroopwafels and new herring from a street vendor.
Hi Amanda, Jim gave a great talk and someone recorded it. I'll try to get it and post it. How is KotlinConf?
Glad your talk went well. Cool venue! I would hazard a guess that Jim likes native development better. He's here on Codetown, so you can connect with him if you want. I'll talk a bit about the Kotlin revolution at tonight's OrlandoJUG meeting and point people to your Kotlin Town here on Codetown.
Hi Amanda!
Yesterday, I talked with Jim Clarke, author of JavaFX: "Developing Rich Internet Applications"
I mentioned you and your work with Kotlin. I forwarded him some info on TornadoFX.
He's the featured presenter for OrlandoJUG in September.
Looking forward to reading more of your Kotlin articles!
Blog posts about Kotlin would be great. In fact, maybe we'll start a Kotlin group... Can't wait to read your blog posts.
Hi Amanda, welcome on Codetown! I hope you’ll make use of your Codetown blog and join some groups.
