Get the JRush Episode 6 recording and materials. Three Java experts walk through custom buildpack optimization, shift-left security in the IDE, and hardened container images that cut scanner noise before production.
What are the talks about?
Patrick walks through the buildpack pipeline behind Spring Boot containers, then shows how a custom AOT caching layer changes the build flow. The example uses Spring Petclinic to connect faster startup and image build time with a workflow teams can reproduce.
Grigorii explains how shift-left security works when feedback appears directly inside the IDE. The session covers taint analysis, pattern matching, inspections, and dependency checks for Java and Kotlin projects before issues reach CI.
Catherine shows why base images create most of the scanner noise around Java services. The session compares CVE counts before and after moving to a lean, deterministic image built for a cleaner production runtime.
What you will learn
Episode 6 is not a generic container overview. It focuses on build speed, developer-side security, and hardened images that reduce operational noise.
See how custom buildpack logic can extend the default pipeline, add AOT caching, and make performance work visible with real benchmarks.
Learn how IDE-level analysis helps teams catch vulnerable dependencies and security flaws before they reach CI or production.
Understand why patching vulnerabilities in place becomes a losing race and how hardened images help teams ship more predictable Java services.
