Parsing bugs are the gift that keeps on giving in the age of APIs. We use a service, it works perfectly in debugging, QA, etc. Then some user input that made its way to the web request returns a result we just can’t parse. Unfortunately, there isn’t much we can do at this stage. We need to understand why the …

Build microservices easily with the NoSQL standard database If you are like most developers, you are embracing applications built using microservices and a NoSQL database. There are many good reasons: faster time to market, lower total cost of ownership, better performance, less downtime, and easy scalability. Creating cloud-native applications is hard because microservices are often written in different languages, database …

In this last article of the series, we cover a few other MicroStream features: caching, clustering, and the integrations into other frameworks. We have now covered three main aspects of MicroStream: We have seen how you can configure the StorageManager to define where data is stored. We have discussed the strategy that you should follow to make sure the changes …

Deep Netts is pure Java deep learning library with a friendly, Java centric API. It makes it easy for Java developers to quickly start using deep learning and it is easy to integrate with existing Java applications. It supports commonly used neural network architectures (feed forward networks, convolutional networks) for classification, regression and image recogniton tasks. Adding Deep Netts to …

Trends and Comparisons Let’s start by looking at Google Analytics, what’s the curve look like for the past half year? Here it is: Over the past 6 months, from …

Say you have a new code base to study or picked up an open source project. You might be a seasoned developer for whom this is another project in a packed resume. Alternatively, you might be a junior engineer for whom this is the first “real” project. It doesn’t matter! With completely new source code repositories, we still know nothing… …

In this fourth part we go deeper into the Serialisation engine that is within MicroStream to store the Object graph in a binary format. In the previous articles (part 1, part 2 and part 3), we have already mentioned that MicroStream stores Java instances in storage in a binary way with a new, from the ground up created, serialisation framework. In …

Java EE has been a dominant force behind all enterprise development in Java. Lately, it was renamed to Jakarta EE, while transitioning to the Eclipse Foundation. This transition opened the door to open governance, open compatibility testing (the earlier Technology Compatibility Kit was closed source), and of course, open-source contributions. That means no specific vendor has more influence than any …

If you’ve more than a couple of years of experience in IT, you probably have stumbled upon the following quote: There are only two hard things in computer science: cache invalidation and naming things. — Phil Karlton Then, because it’s such a great quote, it evolved: However, I think that the initial quote is misleading. A lot of things are …
