Jakarta EE 12 M2: Entering the Data Age of Enterprise Java (Wed, 11 Feb 2026)
Every major Jakarta EE release tends to have a defining theme. Jakarta EE 11 was about modernization: a new baseline with Java 17, forward compatibility with Java 21, and a decisive cleanup of long-standing technical debt. Jakarta EE 12 builds directly on that momentum, but its direction is different. This release is less about removing the past and more about aligning the future. Jakarta EE 12 is best understood as the Data Age of enterprise Java.

Jakarta NoSQL in Jakarta EE 12 M2: A Maturing Story of Polyglot Persistence (Wed, 11 Feb 2026)
NoSQL databases did not become popular because relational databases failed; relational databases are still alive. They became popular because systems changed. As applications grew more distributed, data volumes increased, and access patterns diversified, the limits of a single persistence model became more visible. Document databases simplified aggregate storage, key-value stores optimized for latency and scale, column databases handled massive datasets efficiently, and graph databases modeled relationships that relational schemas struggled to express. Over time, these technologies moved from experimentation into critical, production-grade use cases, including highly regulated industries such as finance.

Information Security Outsourcing 2.0: Balancing Control, Cost, and Capability (Wed, 11 Feb 2026)

However, outsourcing critical functions also brings new challenges, particularly in areas such as trust, control, and regulatory compliance. The key is to strike the right balance between efficiency, visibility, and accountability.

Building a CRUD Application With Spring and SimpleJdbcMapper (Wed, 11 Feb 2026)
Spring Framework's JDBC core package, designed to simplify database interactions using JDBC, is a popular option for applications to persist data to a relational database. The central classes used are JdbcClient with its fluent API and JdbcTemplate with the older classic API. When using these APIs, the CRUD operations tend to be verbose. The SimpleJdbcMapper mitigates this verbosity and also stays out of the way so you can keep using all the features of JdbcClient/JdbcTemplate.
