Embracing Reactive Applications on JVM: a Deep Dive into Modern I/O Models and Vert.x
This article discusses the shift from blocking to non-blocking and asynchronous I/O models, highlighting their role in modern software development. It focuses on Vert.x, a toolkit for building reactive applications on the JVM, featuring the Multi-Reactor Pattern, Event Bus, and Verticles. Vert.x is ideal for cloud, Big Data, and IoT, as shown through benchmarks and real-world examples.

Optimizing Spring Boot Config Management with ConfigMaps: Environment Variables or Volume Mounts
Spring Boot stands out as a viable framework for its agility and streamlined workflow. Yet, effective configuration management remains a pivotal factor influencing deployment efficiency and ongoing maintenance. ConfigMaps, a feature in Kubernetes, provides configuration strategies for Spring Boot applications.

Spring Boot 3.2 and Spring Framework 6.1 Add Java 21, Virtual Threads, and CRaC
Spring Framework 6.1 and Spring Boot 3.2 run on Java 21. They make concurrent programming simpler and more efficient with virtual threads, as well as improving reactive programming and Kotlin coroutines. For “Scale to Zero” startup time reduction, the OpenJDK project CRaC received initial support, while the existing GraalVM Native Image integration got faster through a GraalVM release.

How to Manage Full-Stack Java Development with Hilla
This article explores Hilla, an open-source framework that offers an approach to web application development by integrating a Spring Boot Java backend with a reactive TypeScript frontend. It uses either Lit or React, combined with Vaadin’s 40+ open-source UI web components for interface creation. It also generates REST APIs and client access codes, a secure, stateless backend architecture.

Easy Implementation of GDPR with Aspect Oriented Programming
GDPR compliance should be a default feature in every application that handles PII (Personally Identifiable Information). Most organizations have an impression that GDPR is a luxury feature that needs special tools to implement. But, we can see that the frameworks and design patterns we already use in our everyday development can very well be used to implement the GDPR rules.

GraalVM Java Compilers Join OpenJDK in 2023, Align with OpenJDK Releases and Processes
The Community Editions of the GraalVM JIT and Ahead-of-Time (AOT) compilers will move to OpenJDK in 2023. They will align with OpenJDK releases and processes. Existing releases, GraalVM Enterprise Edition, and other GraalVM projects will not. GraalVM 22.3 provides experimental support for JDK 19 and improves observability. Project Leyden will standardize Java AOT compilation.

Java Champion Josh Long on Spring Framework 6 and Spring Boot 3
Microservices show where Java lags behind other languages. Reactive programming provides a concise DSL to express the movement of state and to write concurrent, multithreaded code with better scaling. Developing in Spring Boot works well even without special tooling support. Josh Long is excited about Project Loom, Java optimization in Project Leyden, and Foreign-Function access in Project Panama.

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.

Seven Ways to Fail at Microservices
At QCon Plus last November, I presented some of the ways microservices can go wrong. I’m a consultant for IBM, and part of my job is helping businesses get cloud-native. These problems are based on my experience – which, unfortunately, I see repeatedly in the field.

Running Axon Server in a Virtual Machine
In this series, we’ve been looking at running Axon Server locally, in Docker, and Kubernetes. What happens if we use a VM as a platform? Naturally, we need to do more work to get everything set up correctly, because instead of sharing a part of the Operating System, we now have to consider everything from the machine and upwards.
