People know rules, production does its own thing. Our Devoxx 2025 survey of 427 engineers maps the gap between “security is a priority” and day-to-day reality: what’s in base images, how often teams update them, and where security work stalls on time.

New on our channel: sizing JDBC connection pools for real production load. Many outages aren’t due to “slow DB”, it's pool exhaustion: ms queries, seconds waiting for a connection. @cat-edelveis.bsky.social covers sizing, timeouts, and when a proxy approach helps: youtu.be/0iHlROKQJcw

JPA, JDBC, Hibernate, jOOQ, Blaze Persistence: where do they belong in the DB access stack? This video untangles the concepts and makes the “when to use what” decision easier. By @cat-edelveis.bsky.social: youtu.be/fiThkd__HEU

In the upcoming #Java26, the Vector API stays incubated for the 11th round (JEP 529). It lets you express SIMD-style loops with FloatVector/IntVector so HotSpot can reliably map them to AVX/NEON instructions at runtime, often beating scalar code.👇

Hardened container images are becoming the default. The harder part now is choosing what actually fits your workload. IProgrammer explains how different hardened image approaches make sense depending on what you’re running:

Hibernate isn’t just “good” or “bad”, it depends on where you use it. In our new video, @cat-edelveis.bsky.social breaks down when ORM helps, when SQL is a better choice, and how hybrid approaches work in real production code: youtu.be/J12vewxnNM8

In the upcoming #Java26, pattern matching with primitive types gets improved (JEP 530) bringing enhanced definition of unconditional exactness and tighter dominance checks in switch. Enable preview in your Java 26 build and see how violated dominance yields a compile-time error 👇

In upcoming #Java26, java.net.http.HttpClient will support HTTP/3 (JEP 517). The default stays HTTP/2, but you can set HTTP/3 in the client or in the request, and the request will transparently fall back to HTTP/2/HTTP/1.1 if HTTP/3 isn’t available. 👇

Scaling Spring apps on K8s is harder when you rely on a basic fat JAR image. On Dec 3, @asm0dey.site and Anton Weiss from PerfectScale by DoiT will walk through building a leaner Spring image and running it more efficiently on a cluster.

Most CVEs don’t live in your code, they live in your base image. At JRush Ep.6, @cat-edelveis.bsky.social (BellSoft) shows how hardened, zero-CVE containers change that, making #Java services secure by design. Live on Nov 18: jrush.bell-sw.com/episode6
