Virtual threads are a lightweight implementation of Java threads, delivered as a preview feature in Java 19.  They dramatically reduce the effort of writing, maintaining, and observing high-throughput concurrent applications. Virtual threads breathe new life into the familiar thread-per-request style of programming, allowing it to scale with near-optimal hardware utilization.

The Cloud Native Computing Foundation has announced the graduation of SPIFFE and SPIRE. SPIFFE defines a standard to authenticate software services through the use of platform-agnostic, cryptographic identities. SPIRE is an implementation of the SPIFFE API that is production ready. Recent improvements to the project include adding experimental Windows support. By Matt Campbell The Cloud Native Computing Foundation has announced the graduation of SPIFFE and SPIRE.
