Standardizing Native Java: Aligning GraalVM and OpenJDK

Native Java is essential for Java to remain relevant in the evolving cloud world. But it is not a solved problem yet. And the development lifecycle needs to adapt as well. Standardization through Project Leyden is key to the success of native Java. Native Java needs to be brought into OpenJDK to enable co-evolution with other ongoing enhancements.

Adaptability by Agreement: Valuing Outcomes over Imposed Solutions

In the pursuit of agile at scale, the landscape is dominated by process-driven approaches which are broken. This article explores a solution-driven rollout approach, one that puts authentic agreement on outcomes before solutions. The principles on which it is based are also effective as leadership strategies, where frameworks are resources to draw upon as people find fitting solutions.

Go Native with Spring Boot and GraalVM

Spring Boot 3 & Spring Framework 6, due in late 2022, will have built-in support for native Java. For Spring Framework 5.x & Spring Boot 2.x, Spring Native is the way to go. Spring Native provides integrations for Spring's vast ecosystem of libraries. It also has a component model that allows you to extend native compilation support for other libraries.

Article Series: Native Compilation Boosts Java

Java dominates enterprise applications. But in the cloud, Java is more expensive than some competitors. Native compilation makes Java in the cloud cheaper. It raises many questions for all Java users: How does native Java change development? When should we switch to native Java? When should we not? And what framework should we use for native Java? This series provides answers to these questions.

Cloud Native Java with the Micronaut Framework

The Micronaut framework provides a solid foundation for building Cloud Native Java microservices. It reduces the use of Java reflection, runtime proxy generation, and dynamic classloading. Tight integration with GraalVM Ahead-of-Time Compilation (AOT) has seen the usage of the Micronaut framework grow. Active compilation-time checking increases type safety and improves developer productivity.

Getting Started to Quarkus Reactive Messaging with Apache Kafka

How data is processed/consumed nowadays is different from how it was once practiced. In the past, data was stored in a database and it was batch processed for analytics. Apache Kafka is a distributed event store and stream-processing platform for storing, consuming, and processing data streams in real-time. In this post, we’ll learn how to produce and consume data using Apache Kafka and Quarkus.

Exploring Architectural Concepts Building a Card Game

One of the things I missed during the pandemic were my friends, the possibility to meet them, discuss with them and, why not, play cards with them. So I decided to implement an app to play Scopone with my friends and, at the same time, test “in the code” some architectural concepts which had been intriguing me for some time.

Improving Your Estimation Skills by Playing a Planning Game

Underestimation is still the rule, rather than the exception. One bias especially relevant to the estimation process is the planning fallacy. This article explores the planning fallacy and how we are vulnerable to it. It explains how you can reduce your vulnerability to this fallacy through playing a planning game that has been specifically devised to help mitigate it.

Designing Secure Tenant Isolation in Python for Serverless Apps

Software as a Service (SaaS) has become a very common way to deliver software today. While providing the benefits of easy access to users without the overhead of having to manage the operations themselves, this flips the paradigm and places the responsibility on software providers for maintaining ironclad SLAs, as well as all of the security and data privacy requirements.
