The Compounding (Business) Value of Composable Ecosystems

Being “free” and open source doesn’t hinder the value of these projects to businesses and end users; rather it unlocks it. The composability of open source ecosystems allows the innovation and value of the whole ecosystem to compound on itself.

Data Oriented Programming in Java

Project Amber has brought a number of new features to Java in recent years. While each of these features are self-contained, they are also designed to work together. Specifically, records, sealed classes, and pattern matching work together to enable easier data-oriented programming in Java.

Reduce Carbon Dioxide Emissions with Serverless and Kubernetes Native Java

Moving application workloads to multi- and hybrid cloud platforms causes more carbon dioxide emissions, although better scalability and performance. Serverless and Kubernetes Native Java enable developers to solve the global climate changes by reducing carbon dioxide emissions by natively native features with milliseconds first boot time, tiny resident set size memory and scalability.

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.

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.

Native Java in the Real World

Microservices on Kubernetes are the native Java sweet spot: they have the most significant framework and Java runtime overhead. Native Java needs more effort to build, debug, test, deploy & profile. The application framework should fully support native Java in production. Native Java adoption can be incremental. But a native Java application only works if all its libraries support native Java.

Kubernetes Native Java with Quarkus

Quarkus is an industry leader in startup time and memory utilization for native and JVM-based Java applications. This reduces cloud costs. Kubernetes is a first-class deployment platform in Quarkus with support for its primitives and features. Developers can use their Java knowledge of APIs like Jakarta EE, MicroProfile, Spring, etc. Applications can be imperative or reactive - or both!

Revolutionizing Java with GraalVM Native Image

GraalVM Native Image is an ahead-of-time compiler that generates native Java executables. These executables start very fast and use less CPU and memory. This makes Java in the cloud cheaper. GraalVM can even achieve peak throughput on par with the JVM. Many Java frameworks already support GraalVM, such as Spring Boot, Micronaut, Quarkus, Gluon, etc.
