Gradle
Gradle 6.0 Release Notes
The Gradle team is excited to announce a new major version of Gradle, 6.0.
... In the JVM ecosystem, we've made incremental Java and Groovy compilation faster, added support for JDK13 and provided out of the box support for javadoc and source jars
The Gradle train 🚝 keeps going strong.
Java
Java 11 runtime now available in AWS Lambda
We are excited to announce that you can now develop your AWS Lambda functions using the Java 11 runtime. Start using this runtime today by specifying a runtime parameter value of java11 when creating or updating your Lambda functions.
When AWS services allow you to select Java 11 as a Runtime it is time to put Java 8 in kingdom of oblivion.

Spreadsheet Builder, my favorite library to work with Excel Files (the ultimate goal of every app 😒), has released a new version.
I'm happy to announce that @Java/@ApacheGroovy Spreadsheet Builder 2.x has been finally released.
The released includes * Groovy DSL fixes * Indirect Google Sheets support * Introduction of new experimental JSON/YML endpoint for non-JVM languages
🎧 The state of Java in 2019
Great analysis of the state of Java in 2019 - the new release cadence, the new licensing model, and what to expect in the future by @javajudd in the No Fluff just stuff Podcast.
Misc
Cold Starts in AWS Lambda
Instances of Lambdas are added and removed dynamically. When a new instance handles its first request, the response time increases, which is called a cold start.
Great blog about Serverless. We are going to discuss Cold startup on Friday webinar.
Web frameworks

I am looking for Quarkus content for Greach 2020. If you Quarkus is your speciality, please apply to the CFP.
