vJUG: One small step for JUGs, one giant leap for JUG-kind
What's the problem?
I love community, networking and interactions with other geeks, that's why I married one! :) The greatest thing about Java User Groups (JUGs) isn't just the great content, but also the close knit community, the beers and chatting/networking with like-minded geeks talking tech and sharing ideas.

Cassie Shum discusses why knowledge graphs serve as a critical foundation for agentic systems. Moving beyond basic RAG, she explains 4 practical architectural patterns: context bundling, decision provenance, code as truth, and agent visibility. She demonstrates an engineering harness built on a knowledge graph to streamline feedback loops, optimize token usage, and maintain system reliability.

AWS has extended Lambda SnapStart to container image functions, which hold up to 10 GB against 250 MB for zip archives. Teams previously chose between dependency headroom and sub-second startup. A Reddit thread from a month earlier shows what that cost: stripping whitespace and docstrings from installed packages to stay under the limit.
