Framewars: the battle between NoSQL and Java in the cloud arena.

Otavio Santana (Platform.sh)

This lecture's objective is to make comparisons between points and weaknesses of Java frameworks that integrate with databases. On the one hand, the NoSQL MongoDB, Redis, Neo4J, and Cassandra, and on the other, the Java frameworks that integrate with them: Spring, Quarkus, Jakarta EE, Micronaut. The arena: the cloud!
In this ring, the one who best analyzes each tool's trade-offs wins in this epic battle.

Survival Guide for the Java Architect in the Cloud Era

Otavio Santana (Platform.sh)

Let's be very honest, cloud computing cannot be learned in one day. There are several architectural challenges to deploying your application, such as which framework to choose, reflection or reflectionless, native or non-naive. We also have the operational challenges such as backups, CI/CD, and much more.
This presentation explains how to make some of these design choices and the tradeoffs to consider when building applications to run in a virtual cloud environment.

What's New in Java?

Manoj Palat (IBM)

Java 17 is an important milestone since this is slated as a long term support (LTS) release. Apart from this designation, more importantly, it is in Java 17 that we are starting to glimpse how the building blocks of earlier releases glue together to provide the pattern programming paradigms. Essentially, the "why" a particular feature/building block exists questions start finding the answers in this version. And this indeed is a huge step for Java as well as Java programmers.
