    Temporal.io’s Cornelia Davis
    Nov 5 2026
    Hi, Spring fans! In this nostalgic, wide-ranging conversation, I revisit my first podcast episode from 2018 with Cornelia Davis and catch up on her career across Pivotal, VMware, Weaveworks, Amazon, Kubernetes, and now Temporal. I reflect on the enduring relevance of cloud-native patterns, workflow engines, and the evolution of software delivery from infrastructure-centric systems to durable execution. Cornelia explains Temporal in depth: an open-source platform for long-running, stateful, asynchronous workflows that preserves execution history so processes can resume exactly where they left off, even after failures or long waits. We cover human-in-the-loop workflows, event sourcing, multi-language SDKs, open source versus cloud, and why Temporal is especially well suited for modern AI and agentic applications. She also highlights the Temporal Agent Harness, strong typing, policy-based approvals, and use cases ranging from enterprise processes to OpenAI-scale agent infrastructure. I close the episode with practical pointers for learning more through Temporal’s website, blog, community resources, and GitHub, plus Cornelia’s preferred online presence on LinkedIn. #temporal #ai #workflows #engineering #pivotal #agents #harnesses #durableexecution

  • ”Data Geekery” with JOOQ creator Lukas Eder

    ”Data Geekery” with JOOQ creator Lukas Eder
    Oct 29 2026
    Hi, Spring fans! In this conversation, Josh Long explores how JOOQ turns SQL into a type-safe, fluent Java language—making complex database work safer, cleaner, and far more expressive. They cover everything from dynamic SQL transformation and cross-dialect support to low-level security, stored procedures, views, and the realities of working with modern databases like DuckDB, ClickHouse, Redshift, and more. Along the way, Lucas reflects on the origins of JOOQ, why he built it, and how the project has evolved from a clever Java DSL into a serious platform for enterprise-grade database development. The discussion also touches on AI-assisted debugging, the enduring relevance of SQL, and how strong typing can dramatically reduce mental overhead for developers and DBAs alike. If you care about databases, Java, or writing better software with less friction, this episode is a masterclass in thoughtful engineering and pragmatic elegance.

    Hi, Spring fans! What if the JVM could feel as frictionless as the modern dev tools people rave about on other platforms? In this wide-ranging, high-energy conversation, you’ll hear two longtime friends (Andres Almiray is a fellow Java champion and a legend) geek out over the future of desktop Java, the pain of Electron, the elegance of JavaFX, and the tools making it all easier to ship. The discussion dives into a brand-new favorite workflow for managing environments and dependencies, then pivots into the powerhouse that is JReleaser — the tool that helps Java projects publish releases, package native installers, generate distribution bundles, compute signatures and checksums, post announcements to social platforms, and even automate releases across GitHub, GitLab, Maven Central, and more. Along the way, they explore how JReleaser powers everything from desktop apps to command-line tools, how it fits with JLink and JPackage, why it’s become essential for projects like JBang and more, and how it’s helping make Java distribution feel modern again. If you care about shipping software cleanly, packaging it beautifully, or just want to hear passionate builders talk about making developer life better, this one is packed with insight, nostalgia, and a lot of “wait, it does that too?” moments.
