At the very beginning of last year, I decided to track my reading habits and share the best stuff here, on Baeldung. Haven't missed a review since.
Here we go…
1. Spring and Java
A very good intro – nay – the reference intro to what's going to be the Java module system. Good stuff.
Here's a quick outside look at the module system as well.
>> Stream Performance [codefx.org]
Very interesting data on stream performance, and depending on the performance goals of your system, maybe actionable data as well.
Good things come to those who use Java 8 streams, but only the things left behind by those who use Clojure.
A myriad of improvements in this release; I'm most excited about the new Querydsl web support and the HAL browser – these look highly useful.
Introducing both CQRS and Event Sourcing in a single piece is not easy, but this definitely is a good initial writeup in what I'm hoping is going to be a long series.
A solid set of basic metrics that you really do need to always track, but even more so after putting a major release into production.
Also worth reading:
Webinars and presentations:
Time to upgrade:
2. Technical
Another clustering solution that looks decent but ultimately doesn't hold water yet.
Long but very interesting read on anther, much less talked about aspect of microservices – team productivity.
Also worth reading:
3. Musings
The classical knowledge quadrant, as it applies to the technical field and growing as an architect.
Also worth reading:
4. Comics
And my favorite comics of the week:
5. Pick of the Week
Earlier this year I introduced the “Pick of the Week” section here in my “Weekly Review”. If you’re already on my email list – you got the pick already – hope you enjoyed it.
I'm doing a social media push for this weeks review.
If you've been enjoying the reviews coming in on Friday for the past year and a half, I'd really appreciate you taking the time to share this particular review on social:
