Hey Mike! Conference is awesome. Hoping to post talks as soon as they're up. My talk os tomorrow! Also that's great I would love to hear his talk!!! We're doing a lot with AOP and metaprogramming
Hi Michael, nice to meet you. When is the next meeting? I may need some time to prepare and practice. The talk I'm writing outlines how we use Docker with the Gradle build tool to empower local development of cloud applications. Examples will include Grails and Spring Boot.
So cool Jim Clarke will be having a talk at OJUG! What are the chances his talk might be recorded? I have his book and am a huge fan. Love to get his view on the continued value in native development.
TornadoFX workshop should be recorded for tomorrow at Chicago GDG: I'll be sure to post in Kotlintown!

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy says AWS’s large committed cloud capacity is largely sold out through 2027, with part of 2028 already allocated, while the company continues to reserve headroom for On Demand, EC2 and Bedrock. Practitioners discussing the remarks report difficulty obtaining On Demand capacity for ordinary EC2 instances, and similar constraints at other providers.
AWS has recently released File Mover Express, an open-source application under the Apache 2.0 license for transferring large files between local systems and Amazon S3. Available for macOS, Windows, and Linux, it supports parallel transfers, automatic performance tuning, retries, pause and resume, and file integrity verification.
Cloudflare has moved a post-quantum rebuild of GeoKey Manager into closed beta, guarding geo-fenced keys with hybrid ML-KEM-768 and X25519 instead of the attribute-based encryption used since 2022. Keys live only in kernel memory on verified regional servers, and any failed check rejects the request, a fail-closed choice practitioners ask could cause a regional outage. GA is planned for Q1 2027.
OpenBSD 8.0 is a substantial upgrade bringing broader hardware compatibility, enhanced security, an expanded virtual address space, and support for modern architectures, including Intel Arc A-Series graphics support, ARM64 hibernation, RISC-V improvements, and enhanced virtual machine support.
There was a flurry of activity during the week of October 19th, 2026, highlighting: first release candidates of: Spring Boot, Spring Framework, Spring Data, Spring Cloud, Spring Security, Spring for GraphQL, Spring Session, Spring Integration, Spring HATEOS, Spring Modulith, Spring REST Docs, Spring AI, Spring Batch, Spring AMQP, Spring for Apache Kafka, Spring LDAP and Spring Web Services.
