Most of my talks contain a demo. A fair share of these demos require multiple “infrastructure” dependencies: a database (or more), Elasticsearch, you name it. To ease my setup and avoid stuffing my machine, I use either Docker Compose or Kubernetes locally on my Mac. Both rely on Docker Desktop.

Last week, I wrote a native web app that queried the Marvel API using Spring Boot. This week, I want to do the same with the Micronaut framework.
Micronaut offers two options to create a new project:
The Cloud has enabled a lot of new usages that were not possible before. Among them stands Serverless:
Serverless computing is a cloud computing execution model in which the cloud provider allocates machine resources on demand, taking care of the servers on behalf of their customers. Serverless computing does not…
The need for shorter and shorter Time-To-Market requires the integration of more and more third-party libraries. There’s no time for the NIH syndrom anymore if it ever was. While most of the time, the library’s API is ready to use, it happens that one needs to “adapt” it to the…
A lot, if not all, of data science projects, require some data visualization front-end to display the results for humans to analyze. Python seems to boast the most potent libraries, but do not lose hope if you’re a Java developer (or if you’re proficient in another language as well). …
Today, I’d like to provide some help on how to choose a cache solution. I will organize it into two parts:
Some time ago, I read a post describing how to run a serverless Kotlin function on OpenFaaS. While the content is technically correct, I believe the concept itself is very wrong. Such posts can lead people to make ill-advised decisions: “because we can” is hardly a winning strategy. in this…
Last week, I described different techniques to fasten your Maven builds. Today, I’d like to widen the scope and do the same for Maven builds inside Docker.
Between each run, we change the source code by adding a single blank line; between each section, we remove all built images, including…
Builds require a few properties, chief among them reproducibility. I would consider speed to be low on the order of priorities. However, it’s also one of the most limiting factors to your release cycle: if your build takes T, you cannot release faster than each T. …
Two weeks ago, I wrote how you could write a Spring application with no annotations. Many alternatives are available to configure your Spring app. I’d like to list them in this post, leaving Spring Boot out of the picture on purpose.
A couple of concepts are central in Spring. The…
