Using API Gateways is a common design pattern with microservice architectures. API Gateways allow you to abstract the underlying implementation of the microservices. Microservices based systems typically have a large number of independent services. One challenge in such systems is how external clients interact with the services. If external clients interact directly with each microservices, […]Continue reading
Java 14 introduces a new feature called Records. In Java, Record is a special type of Java class. It is intended to hold pure immutable data in it.

A Spring Boot RESTful service is typically divided into three layers: Repository, Service, and Controller. This layering helps to segregate the RESTful application responsibilities and enabling loose coupling between the objects. When you develop a layered RESTful application, you will also need to test the different layers. In this post, I will discuss testing Spring […]Continue reading
In my previous post Caching in Spring RESTful Service: Part 1, I discussed how to implement caching for queries on products. Now, consider a scenario where you need to delete or update a product. The cache should be aware of these operations. Or else, the cache will return old product information. To address such problems, […]Continue reading
RabbitMQ is a common messaging broker which allows applications to connect and communicate. It’s common for services in microservices-based systems to communicate asynchronously through messaging. In order to create such a message-based system, you need a message broker, aka messaging server. A message broker can support several messaging patterns. Typically, a message sender sends a […]Continue reading
In Java 8 lambda expressions were added to make Java code more concise and readable. Lambda expressions are similar to methods. However, unlike other methods, lambda expressions do not need a name. You can implement a lambda expression right in the body of a method. If you are new to lambda expressions I suggest you […]Continue reading
