Scaling DevOps in a regulated environment isn’t just about moving faster. With thousands of engineers, decades-old systems, and strict compliance requirements, the question is: how do you improve delivery without disrupting what already works? Araseli Cerda, MS, MBA (United Airlines) and Chris Love (Modernize) will take the stage to examine what it takes to modernize legacy pipelines in regulated environments, without sacrificing reliability or compliance. They’ll cover: What scaling DevOps looks like inside complex organizations. How security and compliance get built into the workflow from day one. Practical ways to update legacy systems without slowing delivery. Register for the DevOps Modernization Summit: https://lnkd.in/gM4cBp_K

I went through the Java 25 release—and it’s a very intentional step forward for the platform. Java 25 reached GA on Sept 16, 2025, and reading through the JEPs, one theme stands out: Java is optimizing for clarity, safety, and operability at scale. A few highlights that stood out while reviewing the release: - Structured Concurrency (5th Preview) & Scoped Values Concurrency is becoming more structured and readable, aligning better with how we reason about request lifecycles and async work. - JFR enhancements (CPU profiling, method timing, cooperative sampling) Clear focus on observability-first engineering—exactly what modern systems need. - Performance & memory improvements Compact Object Headers and Generational Shenandoah show continued investment in efficiency for long-running, cloud-native workloads. - Language & usability refinements Primitive patterns in switch, module imports, flexible constructors—small changes that collectively reduce boilerplate and improve signal. Security foundations PEM encodings and the new Key Derivation Function API strengthen Java’s cryptographic story with safer defaults. Dropping 32-bit x86 also sends a clear message: Java 25 is built for modern hardware and cloud platforms. Takeaway: Java 25 isn’t about hype—it’s about making large systems easier to build, observe, and maintain over time. That’s the kind of evolution mature platforms should aim for.
