Is Spring Boot Still State of the Art?

Aggregated on: Wed Jan 05 2022 15:49:32 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

In the following blog post, I want to take a closer look at the question of whether the application framework Spring Boot is still relevant in modern Java-based application development. I will take a critical look at its architectural concept and compare it against the Jakarta EE framework. I am aware of how provocative the question is and that it also attracts incomprehension. Comparing both frameworks I am less concerned about the development concept but more with the question about runtime environments. Both – Spring Boot and Jakarta EE – are strong and well-designed concepts for developing modern Microservices. When I am talking about Jakarta EE and Microservices I always talk also about Eclipse Microprofile which is today the de-facto standard extension for Jakarta EE. Developing a Microservice the concepts of Spring Boot and Jakarta EE are both very similar. The reason is, that a lot of technology of today’s Jakarta EE was inspired by Spring and Spring Boot. The concepts of “Convention over Configuration“, CDI, or the intensive usage of annotations were first invited by Spring. And this is proof of the innovative power of Spring and Spring Boot. But I believe that Jakarta EE is today the better choice when looking for a Microservice framework. Why do I come to this conclusion?

There aren’t enough people to keep up with the rising threat, so we need to deploy automation heavily to tackle it.

2022 New Year’s Resolution: Dev and SEC Cross-Team Learning

Aggregated on: Wed Jan 05 2022 13:04:32 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

A good DevSecOps strategy goes beyond having the right tools and processes in place: it requires consistent and crucially, bi-directional feedback and learning. Both security and engineering teams have such different priorities and strengths, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have anything to learn from each other. This year, make it a resolution to create a culture of bi-directional learning between these two teams and reap the benefit of improved collaboration. Here are the top things one can learn from the other to break down silos in the name of DevSecOps. What Security Teams Can Learn From Developers Part of embracing DevSecOps requires relinquishing some amount of control. Security isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, but to fully embrace DevSecOps, they have to relinquish some amount of control. They have to rely on training and automation and trust that developers are capable of securing their own code.

Debugging RAM - Part 1: Java Garbage Collection - Java Heap Deep Dive

Aggregated on: Wed Jan 05 2022 12:34:32 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

There are many excellent articles on Java Garbage Collection, Java Memory usage, and generally Java heap. Unfortunately, they are all over the place. They mix architecture, concepts, and problem solving as separate pieces. A lot of the material is out of date or doesn't include pragmatic information for solving problems with the garbage collector. E.g., pause times, heap space usage, etc. In this post, I won't go into memory leaks. They're important but this is a different subject I would like to discuss in a post on its own.

Simplify Migrating From Kafka to Pulsar With Kafka Connect Support

Aggregated on: Wed Jan 05 2022 11:19:32 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Large-scale implementations of any system, such as the event-streaming platform Apache Kafka, often involve customizations and tools and plugins developed in-house. When it’s time to transition from one system to another, the task can become complicated, drawn-out, and error-prone. Often the benefits of an alternative system (which can include significant cost savings and other efficiencies) are outweighed by the risks and costs of migration. As a result, an organization can end up locked into a suboptimal situation, footing a bigger bill than necessary and missing out on modern features that help move the business forward faster. These risks and costs can be mitigated by making the transition process iterative, breaking off the vendor lock-in in small, manageable steps, and avoiding the "big bang" switch that often results in delayed delivery and increases the cost of running two systems in parallel for A|B testing.

The “Onion Peel” Approach to Hyper Intelligent Automation

Aggregated on: Wed Jan 05 2022 10:49:32 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Hyper Intelligent Automation (HIA) was verily the flavor of 2021 and going ahead into 2022 and beyond it’s set to stamp its importance in more ways than one. The growing clout of “Intelligent Automation” is buttressed by the fact that a recent Zinnov Zones report on Hyper Intelligent Automation (HIA) shows the segment will grow at a rate of 50-55% year-on-year to cross USD 18Bn by 2026 from the existing USD 2.4 Bn. The deal ecosystem has seen a steady rise in demand for HIA and 30-35% of the overall HIA deals are over USD 500K in size. This trend underlines a fundamental shift of large enterprises who are no longer looking at automation focusing only on efficiency and cost savings but at outcomes around enhanced stakeholder experience and business resilience.

Perl Warnings and the Warn Function

Aggregated on: Wed Jan 05 2022 00:04:32 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

I mentioned in passing last week that the next major release of Perl, v5.36, is set to enable warnings by default for code that opts in to use v5.35; or above. Commemorating Perl’s 34th birthday the week before that, I noted that the warnings system has been getting ever finer-grained since its introduction in 2000. And, fellow Perl blogger and CPAN author Tom Wyant has been cataloging his favorites over the past several months — the latest as of this writing was on the “ambiguous” category of warnings, and you can find links to previous entries in his series at the bottom of that post. It occurred to me afterward that there may be some confusion between the warnings pragma and the related warn function for reporting arbitrary runtime errors. warn outputs its arguments to the standard error (STDERR) stream, or if it’s not given any then you get a string with any exception from ( under use English) followed by a tab and then “...caught at <file> line x.” If that’s empty too, a plain warn just says, “Warning: something's wrong at <file> line x.”, which isn’t exactly helpful, but then again you didn’t give it much to go on.

Death to Tribal Knowledge

Aggregated on: Tue Jan 04 2022 15:49:31 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Photo by Kelly Sikkema on Unsplash Documentation is a struggle for nearly every company. When information is undocumented, it remains as “tribal knowledge,” information that someone new to the company must ask others about in order to learn. This may work fine for a time, but what happens when those with the knowledge are unavailable? Or worse, what happens when those people leave the company? The knowledge leaves with them. Ridding your company of tribal knowledge is difficult in practice, but it can be done in three simple steps. First, document the information. Second, make sure people know where to find it. Third, make sure the documentation stays up to date.

Over the years, the whole idea of software testing has evolved. And the evolution not only has called for modern testing strategies and tools but a detailed-oriented process with the inclusion of test methodologies. However, the only thing that defines the success or failure of a test strategy is the precise selection of tools, technology, and a suitable methodology to aid the entire QA process. This is why most newbies entering the industry tend to find automated functional testing a complex operation. As working on such an operation needs a precise system that can aid the ultimate goal of performance, functionality, and of course a pleasing user response.

Snowflake Data Processing With Snowpark DataFrames

Aggregated on: Tue Jan 04 2022 13:49:31 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Introduction Snowpark is a new developer library in Snowflake that provides an API to process data using programming languages like Scala (and later on Java or Python), instead of SQL. The core concept in Snowpark is DataFrame that represents a set of data, e.g. a number of rows from a database table that can be processed using object oriented or functional programming techniques with our favorite tools. The notion of Snowpark DataFrames is similar to Apache Spark or Python Panda DataFrames. Developers can also create user-defined functions (UDFs) that are pushed down to the Snowflake server where they can operate on the data. The code execution is using lazy evaluation; this will reduce the amount of data to be exchanged between Snowflake warehouse and the client.

Micro-Frontend Architecture

Aggregated on: Tue Jan 04 2022 11:34:31 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

What Is a Micro-Frontend Architecture? The micro-frontend architecture is a type of design applied to the frontend that allows us to divide it into smaller, individual, and semi-independent applications that work together. This frontend concept is very much inspired by the microservices used mostly in the backend. The goal of this architecture is to see web applications as a composition of functionalities where each one is worked by independent teams. Each team has a specific business area and development is done end-to-end, from the database to the user interface.

Implementing Cloud Governance as a Code Using Cloud Custodian

Aggregated on: Tue Jan 04 2022 11:04:31 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

In today's scaling cloud infrastructure it's hard to manage all resources compliance. Every organization has a set of policies to follow for detecting violations and taking remediation actions on their cloud resources. This is generally done by writing multiple custom scripts and using some 3rd party tool and integration. Many development teams know how hard it is to manage and write custom scripts and keep a track of those. This is where we can leverage Cloud Custodian DSL policies to manage our Cloud resources with ease. What Is Cloud Governance? Cloud governance is a framework that defines how developers can create policies to control costs, minimize security risks, improve efficiency and accelerate deployment.

They see the end result and direct the team towards it. All stages of product creation are under the control of the PO.

Three easy ways to run Kafka without Zookeeper

Aggregated on: Tue Jan 04 2022 03:04:31 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

There has been a couple of years since the announcement of the removal of Apache Zookeeper as a dependency to manage Apache Kafka metadata. Since version 2.8, we now can run a Kafka cluster without Zookeeper. This article will go over three easy ways to get started with a single node cluster using containers. Control and data planes Apache Kafka implements independent control and data planes for its clusters. The control plane manages the cluster, keeps track of what brokers are alive, and takes action when the set changes. Meanwhile, the data plane consists of the features required to handle producers and consumers and their records. In the previous iterations, Zookeeper was the cluster component that held most of the implementation of the control plane.

A Real-World Framework for Calculating Database Latency

Aggregated on: Tue Jan 04 2022 00:49:31 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Almost all modern applications require storing and accessing data, but choosing the right database to power an application is a difficult task that involves reasoning about a complex set of tradeoffs. Developers typically need to think about the following: The geographic regions where the database will store data and whether the resulting real-world latency profile will allow them to create an application that is quick and responsive. The operational model for the database and the implied total cost of ownership and availability characteristics. The consistency model for the database and whether it meets requirements without pushing complex transaction support to the application. The developer experience for the database and whether it will empower fast and efficient innovation in the future. The scalability of the database and the ability to quickly dial capacity up or down as workloads change over time. These dimensions are all important, but latency stands apart from the rest because it is the most difficult to reason about and it is often impossible to engineer around. Low latency is also growing in importance as business logic moves to the edge, making the difference between a local and remote API call more jarring and disruptive to users.

How to Generate Customer Success Analytics in Snowflake

Aggregated on: Mon Jan 03 2022 23:49:31 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

As the distinction between data professionals and non-data professionals becomes smaller and smaller, the need for technology that bridges the gap between the two parties is crucial. The benefits of interacting with a data warehouse, especially with large amounts of data, are unquestionable, but as a peripheral member of the core technology team who might not be very technical, it is not always practical to generate SQL queries on the fly. This poses a problem, especially when departments such as sales, customer success, account management, etc., want the robust insights that could come from the vast amount of data that a company is storing, but they don’t necessarily know how to quickly gather these insights.

How To Utilize NoSQL DB: Graph Database Examples

Aggregated on: Mon Jan 03 2022 23:49:31 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Since NoSQL Databases are widely used and preferred among developers, because of their close relation to the Agile methodology, we decided to focus on their functionality in this article. At first, we need to define how we see NoSQL abbreviation, considering that there are several different versions for that. In the battle of the meanings, we have literally the database without SQL usage, and "not only SQL." Surely, we’d prefer to cognize the second option, but not anti-definition, given that SQL is running in any backend and traditionally is not eliminated. The NoSQL databases create more intuitive methods of storing data, allowing to model the structured linkage that will be closer to the application’s form. They require fewer transformations when saving or retrieving with NoSQL APIs. Furthermore, NoSQL databases can fully utilize the Cloud to ensure minimal outage. As you can notice, NoSQL DB seems to be beneficial and more flexible than traditional storing. Let’s discover this difference in further detail.

Supply chain risks continue to be a major concern for manufacturers, and the organizations and customers they serve. According to recent research, software supply chain attacks are up 650 percent in the past year alone and ENISA expects these types of attacks to quadruple by the end of 2021. But assessing supply chain risks can be a complex task for product teams. And when not done properly, can have devastating impacts. Just look at the SolarWinds attack and the recent blog from Microsoft showing that the group behind that attack, Nobelium, has since targeted 140 additional resellers and service providers.

Standards are critical to the successful development of emerging technologies, and Polkadot is no exception. It's important because the proper standard set at the right time can help improve interoperability and build trust within the technology ecosystem (opening the doors to mass adoption). Benchmarks like these are crucial to enable token-based smart contracts that interact with each other. Without a standard, anyone can develop and deploy their own smart contract. The problem with this approach is that they would have to expose the same function signature to enable true interoperability.
