In this episode, I share some hands-on insights from building apps with Langchain4j using Quarkus and Neo4j , and compare it with Spring AI—especially around how each framework handles vector search and GraphRAG workflows. Spoiler: customization in Langchain4j feels a bit clunky. I also dig into one article's critical take on the MCP authorization spec and why its current approach to security is misaligned with how enterprises actually structure identity and access. The article I discuss breaks down both the architectural intentions and the practical enterprise concerns—token handling, overhead, and developer friction. If you’re working at the intersection of GenAI infrastructure and enterprise systems, this one’s for you.…

In this episode, we dive into three key updates from the world of Java development and emerging tech standards: First, walk through a new feature in the Neo4j Java driver (v5.28.5) that enables lightweight object mapping. I’ve set up a sample code repository showcasing how to return Cypher query results directly into your Java domain objects—no full-blown OGM needed. It’s a big improvement, but with a few gotchas you’ll want to understand. Next, we take a look at Jackson Jr , a lightweight version of the popular Jackson library . If you're working in resource-constrained environments or want faster startup times, this stripped-down data processor might be just what your project needs. Finally, we revisit Model Context Protocol (MCP) security, following up on concerns raised in Episode 42. I share two recent articles that highlight current security limitations in MCP and practical tips for developers looking to build safely with it today, even before full support matures. Whether you're optimizing your Java stack or exploring AI protocols, there’s something in this episode for you.…
