Article Series: Native Compilation Boosts Java

Java dominates enterprise applications. But in the cloud, Java is more expensive than some competitors. Native compilation makes Java in the cloud cheaper. It raises many questions for all Java users: How does native Java change development? When should we switch to native Java? When should we not? And what framework should we use for native Java? This series provides answers to these questions.

Kubernetes Crosses the Chasm, and Other Lessons from the 2021 CNCF Survey

You know I love a good survey, so let’s take a look at the Cloud Native Computing Foundation’s 2021 annual survey. They asked 2,302 respondents how they use Kubernetes and the more general category of cloud-native tools. The major conclusion of the report is that Kubernetes usage is mainstream, as the sub-title of the report labeled 2021: “The year Kubernetes crossed the chasm.”

Revolutionizing Java with GraalVM Native Image

GraalVM Native Image is an ahead-of-time compiler that generates native Java executables. These executables start very fast and use less CPU and memory. This makes Java in the cloud cheaper. GraalVM can even achieve peak throughput on par with the JVM. Many Java frameworks already support GraalVM, such as Spring Boot, Micronaut, Quarkus, Gluon, etc.

SaaS DR/BC: If You Think Cloud Data is Forever, Think Again

SaaS is quickly becoming the default tool for how we build and scale businesses. It’s cheaper and faster than ever before. However, this reliance on SaaS comes with the risk of disaster recovery.
