Windows Services play a key role in the Microsoft Windows operating system, and support the creation and management of long-running processes. When “Fast Startup” is enabled and the PC is started after a regular shutdown, though, services may fail to restart.

Java Champion Josh Long on Spring Framework 6 and Spring Boot 3

Microservices show where Java lags behind other languages. Reactive programming provides a concise DSL to express the movement of state and to write concurrent, multithreaded code with better scaling. Developing in Spring Boot works well even without special tooling support. Josh Long is excited about Project Loom, Java optimization in Project Leyden, and Foreign-Function access in Project Panama.
