Codetown ::: a software developer's community
Hi folks,
It's been a while since last time I post here. I just want to share a project that I have started recently and hopefully it will benefit some of you.
In many places where I worked, they often needed a light, fast and standalone server like process that run easily without much hassle, compare to use a full blown JEE server. I often ended up writing the same bootstrapper service that does many of the basic things. We need logging, we need easy configuration set loader, we need remote control and management, and we need it NOW!
I have been started and collected some experimental code for a while on each time I learn how to do it better. So I finally created a new project under googlecode and named "spring-runner". You may call it a Fully functional Tiny Little Java Server. :)
See http://code.google.com/p/spring-runner
I hope you will find it useful. Feel free to provide any feedback and comments on the project.
Best regards,
-- Zemian Deng

I use googlecode because they provide Mercurial source control. It also gives me a project home page, Wiki, Issue tracking etc, all are ready to go in just few minutes.
Now only if private companies we work for will have such infrastructure setup, and easiness of use for all internal projects, our job would be so much productive, won't we? :)

Microsoft used their Build 2026 event to announce new functionality for Microsoft Foundry. Citing Foundry as "the place where AI agents move from experiments to production systems," in a blog post, Nick Brady writes that the release brings “runtime, tools, memory, grounding, models, observability, and governance” that developers need for production agents, rather than just new model endpoints.

Amazon Web Services has recently announced the general availability of the next generation of Amazon OpenSearch Serverless, with a redesigned architecture that enables 20 times faster resource provisioning than the previous serverless architecture, true scale-to-zero capability, and up to 60% lower cost than a provisioned cluster for peak loads.

Pinterest introduced MIQPS, a URL normalization system that identifies which query parameters affect page identity using rendered content fingerprints. It reduces duplicate processing across millions of domains by replacing rule-based approaches with offline analysis, anomaly detection, and runtime parameter maps, improving ingestion efficiency and scalability in large-scale content pipelines.

Google says Gemma 4 12B is "designed to bring agentic, multimodal intelligence directly to your laptop", further noting that the new model can be combined with Google AI Edge to "build and experiment locally, on everyday machines". This integration allows for a wide range of capabilities, from autonomous data processing to generating visual insights and even building webpages or executing tools.
