Subject: [Bangalore RUG] Cartographer in a new Avatar! , now supports Google
Maps 3 & Rails 3

Hello All,
  Cartographer is a Google Maps wrapper that was originally written 
in 2005 when Rails tagged 0.1.  For many years people used it to 
painlessly generate maps. The plugin was left orphan with no support 
for future google map's api releases. Hence the legacy apps couldnt  
migrate to Google Maps v3 easily. But this is no longer true!

I have brought cartographer codebase back to life for providing drop-
in replacement for google maps v3 and support for rails 3.

It is now well-covered with tests to ensure backward compatibility of 
the older API.

Check that out : http://github.com/parolkar/cartographer

Anybody who has apps using order versions of cartographer? This is 
useful for you, I am doing a performance benchmark and need to hear 
your experiences, contact me off the thread.

write good code, be humble and live a great life :)

Presentation: Beyond the Warehouse: Why BigQuery Alone Won’t Solve Your Data Problems

Sarah Usher discusses the architectural "breaking point" where warehouses like BigQuery struggle with latency and cost. She explains the necessity of a conceptual data lifecycle (Raw, Curated, Use Case) to regain control over lineage and innovation. She shares practical strategies to design a single source of truth that empowers both ML teams and analytics without bottlenecking scale.

Java Explores Carrier Classes to Extend Data-Oriented Programming Beyond Records

The OpenJDK Amber project has published a new design note proposing “carrier classes” and “carrier interfaces” to extend record-style data modeling to more Java types. The proposal preserves concise state descriptions, derived methods, and pattern matching, while relaxing structural constraints that limit records.

Article: From Alert Fatigue to Agent-Assisted Intelligent Observability

As systems grow, observability becomes harder to maintain and incidents harder to diagnose. Agentic observability layers AI on existing tools, starting in read-only mode to detect anomalies and summarize issues. Over time, agents add context, correlate signals, and automate low-risk tasks. This approach frees engineers to focus on analysis and judgment.
