What we’re about
Welcome! This is a group for anyone interested in Java development. Meetings are held every second Wednesday of the month and include opportunities for networking as well as presentations on some topic of interest to Java developers. We meet for dinner/drinks afterward.
Ray Tayek and Philip Yurchuk organize the meetings.
We have online discussions in two places:
The OCJUG mailing list:

We are back thanks to our new host LearningFuze! (https://learningfuze.com/). And very happy to welcome back repeat speaker Pratik Patel from Azul Systems (https://www.azul.com/).
We are sticking to our normal format.
6:30 - Networking
7:00 - Talk
8:30 - DinnerThe restaurant is TBD, but most likely someplace in the Irvine Spectrum we can order at the counter and and push some tables together, given the impossibility of splitting checks these days. If someone would like to sponsor dinner and make it easy on us, please reach out!
Java for Serverless Cloud Functions:
The how, why, and tips to make it awesome!
Developers have many options for building applications today, not just for what programming platform to use, but also what architectures are possible. Modern applications can be built using everything from monoliths to microservices to cloud functions. In this session, we’ll look at serverless architecture for building applications and compare them with the other models. Historical problems with long cold-starts, heavy-weight frameworks and lack of tooling have made Java an unpopular choice for serverless development… until now!
We’ll take you on a journey to explain what has changed with Java to finally make it an amazing language for building serverless applications. We'll do demos of Java Cloud Functions deployed on AWS, Azure, and GCP. We’ll also look at my tips for building Java Cloud Functions including:- JVM advances in the JVM like CRAC
- Low-overhead, serverless ready frameworks
- Where AOT (ahead of time) compilation
- Right sizing Java Cloud Functions
