Resin News


Resin 4

We closed out some lingering bugs and included their fixes in the latest release version 4.0.42. If you are currently running an older version of Resin 4, we recommend upgrading to the latest version as a simple uninstall and reinstall without changing any config.  Bug fixes include:

* Creating DB pools dynamically

* Faster and more full-featured RPM upgrades for simple deployments

* Documenting Resin Anomaly Analyzer for Health Warnings

* Ordering ServletContainerInitializers according to the web

* Fragment order and more!

Resin 3 users migrating to Resin 4 saw an increase in performance because they were able to replicate portions of their applications, reduce load during peak hours, use the latest OpenSSL security bug fixes and more accurately monitor resource consumption.

Please visit the Resin mantis page for a full change log description at:

San Diego Java Users Group



Our last meeting of the year was a great presentation by Brian Sletten entitled Doing REST “Right”. Brian has been speaking on REST for the past 9 years and his presentation focused on how a properly decoupled REST system should function and the benefits it would withhold. 



After two years of hosting the San Diego Java Users Group we are passing the torch to ResMed for the new location of SDJUG meetings.

Baratine News


Baratine: 0.8.7 In Progress!

With technologies such as Docker, Mesos, Finagle, and etc., becoming more prevalent in enterprise architectures, Microservices have become more than just another buzz word. Baratine’s premise to lower what is needed in terms of lines of code as well as complexity will undoubtedly push us towards a truly agile and reactive age of infrastructure. Why deal with complex multi-tiered caching when you can have a fully redundant, writable file system, capable of speaking any protocol over REST, Websocket, or HTTP and is capable of sharding and sharing its data to multiple clients asynchronously? Of course, that is just a slice of what Baratine is capable of doing and we are excited to continue pushing forward on this project.

The latest Baratine release will feature a simplified deployment structure allowing for multiple jar deployments to a single pod as well as simplified configuration. Head over to http://baratine.io to download and get started with it today!
