Project Valhalla is changing how Java works. For years, Java has been safe and easy to use. But it often uses more memory than needed. That slowed down apps that process lots of data. This project is part of the OpenJDK. Its goal is to make Java faster and leaner. New tools like value types, inline classes, and generic specialization …
Post-Quantum Cryptography Support in Java
Quantum computers are advancing, and they could soon break the encryption that protects today’s data. RSA and ECC, which are standard today, may not stand up to quantum attacks. This makes post-quantum cryptography a key part of planning for long-term security. Java is already preparing for this future. New updates in the JDK add support for quantum-safe algorithms, giving developers …
Java 25 – What’s New?
Every new Java release impacts how teams build and run their applications. Java 25 arrived in September 2025 as the next long-term support (LTS) version after Java 21. It adds features that cut boilerplate, enhance security, and speed up code performance. Now is the perfect time to get familiar with updates and lay the groundwork for modernization efforts later down …
What is AI-Assisted Development?
Teams often face a tradeoff between speed and code quality. AI-assisted development helps bridge this gap by taking on routine work such as generating setup code, creating test files, or drafting helper methods. These are necessary tasks, but they often consume more time than they return in value. With the right prompts, AI can also assist in moments when progress …
Spring AI: An Overview
Integrating AI into Java projects has traditionally been complex—requiring multiple SDKs, custom integrations, and provider-specific code. Spring AI simplifies this process by providing a single, consistent layer for working with large language models in Spring Boot. No more stitching together libraries or rewriting code for every provider. In this guide, we’ll explore what Spring AI is, why it matters for …
