Open World for Native Image 🌎 Your Native Image application can now load new classes at runtime, while keeping all benefits of AOT optimizations 🚀 Best of both worlds! To use it: build with @graalvm.org 25.1+ and `-H:+RuntimeClassLoading`.

Hashtag Jakarta EE #342
Welcome to issue number three hundred and forty-two of Hashtag Jakarta EE! I am currently at JConf Dominicana 2026. I will post a separate post about the conference shortly. But I will mention the session I am attending right now, which is a presentation about floci by Hector Ventura. In short, floci is a drop-in replacement for LocalStack that lets you emulate any cloud environment locally.

There's one for Azure too, though a lot less comprehensive: github.com/floci-io/flo...

Stop juggling Azurite, the Cosmos emulator, and four ports to test one app. floci-az = 19 Azure services on one port (4577). Real services, SDK-compatible, not mocks. 1 Docker image. 24ms start. ~13 MiB. $0. Free + MIT: github.com/floci-io/flo... #Azure #DevOps #Test #LocalDev

Building a Complete AWS Environment Locally with Floci
Cloud engineers often want to learn AWS services, build event-driven architectures, test Terraform code, and practice CI/CD pipelines…

First time using @floci.io (just for an S3 bucket) - ran via dotnet.testcontainers.org (there's a nuget package for that 😁) and huge levels of "just worked". Not new to running infra locally, but even so the lack of surprises was very welcome.
A local cloud your team and your AI agents can iterate against in milliseconds. Floci runs AWS, Azure & GCP as one native binary. Free, MIT, no auth token, real engines. Safe to break, reset a container instead of your staging account. floci.io
Had a lot of fun learning more about @floci.io ☁️ from @hectorvent.dev! What a great project, and what a great use case of Native Image for fast startup, low memory usage, and easy installation across platforms.

Spring AI 2.0 is now available 🚀 it supports both Spring Boot 4.0 and 4.1. I worked on automated OpenRewrite recipes to upgrade your applications to the new version, taking care of many breaking changes introduced in this new major. All free and open source. docs.arconia.io/arconia-migr...
Floci helps you emulate AWS/Azure/GCP Cloud locally. It is easy to get started: $ curl -fsSL floci.io/install.sh | sh $ floci start $ eval $(floci env) $ aws s3 mb s3://my-bucket github.com/floci-io/flo... #docker #terraform #devops #floci
Lundi, découverte #OpenSource !💡 Entre #LocalStack qui verrouille de plus en plus de features et les éternels drames de licences (coucou MinIO 👀), ça devient un vrai casse-tête de trouver un mock AWS 100% libre pour le local. J'ai découvert Floci !🧵👇 go.thibaud.dev/b4NB #AWS #DevOps #TechFR

floci-gcp doesn't model GCP's wire format. It implements the server side of Google's own protobuf stubs. Deep dive: dev.to/hectorvent/h... floci.io/gcp #GCP #Terraform #DevOps
How floci-gcp builds GCP wire compatibility on Google's own protobuf (and stays maintainable)
A local GCP emulator that doesn't model the wire format at all. Instead it implements the server side of Google's own generated protobuf stubs. Here's why that's the whole trick.
