🔹 Kubernetes - Ingress NGINX Retirement: What You Need to Know

The blog post discusses the upcoming retirement of Ingress NGINX, announced by Kubernetes SIG Network and the Security Response Committee.

Although existing deployments will remain functional, users are encouraged to migrate to alternatives like the Gateway API or other Ingress controllers listed in Kubernetes documentation. Ingress NGINX, once popular for its flexibility and features, faced maintenance challenges due to limited support and changing software expectations. Despite efforts, there was insufficient interest in maintaining or developing a replacement, leading to its planned retirement. Users are advised to initiate migration plans immediately to ensure continued security and functionality. 👉 Read more

🔹 Java - Java 26 Warns of Deep Reflection - Inside Java Newscast #101

The blog post discusses a new feature in Java 26 that will issue run-time warnings when a final field is altered through reflection, with the aim of eventually making such mutations illegal by default. This change is intended to enhance Java’s integrity, particularly regarding the use of the final keyword, which will, in turn, improve maintainability, security, and performance. Although it is recommended to avoid mutating final fields, Java 26 introduces a permanent command-line option, –enable-final-field-mutation, allowing such mutations for specific modules. To facilitate the transition, a broader but temporary option, –illegal-final-field-mutation, has also been introduced. 👉 Read more
