OffHeap82. FINALLY JAVA 21 is HERE

In this episode, we cover major updates in the tech and open-source world. OpenAI makes headlines with its $3B acquisition of Windsurf, while the CVE Foundation is officially launched. We discuss key project updates like Spring AI 1.0.0, Jakarta EE 11, and the new Agent Framework by Rod Johnson. Plus, we dive into notable license […]

Oh my, Spring is around the corner and OffHeap was again invited to be part of DevNexus! This episode is so awesome because we got a chance to talk to three Open Source Foundations: Apache Software Foundation, Eclipse Foundation, and CommonHaus Foundation. We discussed how they are similar, and (more interestingly) how they are different. […]

So another year is in the books, and thankfully we didn't have any Log4Shell like incidents during the break. And what that means is that this is the Episode where we reminisce about the year 2024, and look forward to what will dominate the headlines...

So Coding Agents are here to stay. And they are hitting everywhere we go! (at a cheap price!). So what do we make of them. Do they help? do they hinder? Do we like using them? or, is it risky to use them? There are now practical questions we ponder...

Yes! So we are back at THE best conference for Java in the US (DevNexus!) to record a live episode! We had Andy and Sascha talk to us about Quantum security and where the world is heading (spoilers, we better address our security before the quantum...

Hopefully we are all rested and ready to tackle this 2024. There is already a ton going on with AI, but front and center has been the current job market news (it's dire). Even so, when a new door closes, a new (shiny AI-ish) door opens.  Here we...

Old enough to drink Java 21 is officially released! This is the one we have all been waiting for! With Project Loom, structured concurrency and being the Long Term Support release, this is the beginning of another incredible era for Java and Java development! So we dive into it and start charting out WHERE does […]

ElasticSearch, Akka, Hashicorp, and Red Hat are starting to change their licensing models. What used to be considered open source (Apache, GPL, MIT) is morphing (with an asterisk) for the large open source projects that we know and love.  But...
