A magnificent job of walking through a lot the different architectural considerations one has to make to develop maintainable code.

ArchUnit is a library that allows us to test our architecture (layering/slicing/(naming) conventions, and more).

Chronicle Services presents an opinionated view of several of the specialised libraries we have developed to support low-latency applications.

In this engaging interview with Steve Poole, a seasoned Java developer and DevOps practitioner, we delve into his career journey, valuable insights, and the evolution of technology. Poole shares his experiences, highlighting the importance of critical thinking, adapting to change, and embracing innovation in the world of software development.

Learn how you can leverage OPA and Apache APISIX to move your authentication and authorization logic from the code to the infrastructure.

Discussion extrapoliating from per-user rate limiting showing how one can implement it in a library and an infrastructure component.

EDA is a design pattern in which decoupled components (often microservices) can asynchronously publish and subscribe to events.

In this article, I highlight that microservices, as presented at conferences, are doomed to fail in most organizations.

I frequently use Spring Boot in my demos. The latest one is no different, showing how to achieve CQRS using two different code paths.

Just add it to the application’s classpath, start a node, and we’re good to go. However, I believe that once you start relying on Hazelcast as a critical infrastructure component, embedding limits your options. In this post, I’d like to dive a bit deeper into the subject.
