The False Dichotomy of Monolith vs. Microservices
Taking sides in the debate of microservices v. monolith gets in the way of doing the right thing for our customers. Sometimes, we need microservices. Sometimes, we need a monolith. Most of the time we are better off somewhere between these extremes.

How to Manage Full-Stack Java Development with Hilla
This article explores Hilla, an open-source framework that offers an approach to web application development by integrating a Spring Boot Java backend with a reactive TypeScript frontend. It uses either Lit or React, combined with Vaadin’s 40+ open-source UI web components for interface creation. It also generates REST APIs and client access codes, a secure, stateless backend architecture.

Easy Implementation of GDPR with Aspect Oriented Programming
GDPR compliance should be a default feature in every application that handles PII (Personally Identifiable Information). Most organizations have an impression that GDPR is a luxury feature that needs special tools to implement. But, we can see that the frameworks and design patterns we already use in our everyday development can very well be used to implement the GDPR rules.

Microservices Integration Done Right Using Contract-Driven Development
Build your microservices and micro-frontend in parallel and deploy them independently without worrying about integration issues, by leveraging API specifications such as OpenAPI and AsyncAPI as executable contracts to shift left the identification of compatibility bugs with Contract Driven Development using Specmatic, thereby removing the need for integration testing.

GraalVM Java Compilers Join OpenJDK in 2023, Align with OpenJDK Releases and Processes
The Community Editions of the GraalVM JIT and Ahead-of-Time (AOT) compilers will move to OpenJDK in 2023. They will align with OpenJDK releases and processes. Existing releases, GraalVM Enterprise Edition, and other GraalVM projects will not. GraalVM 22.3 provides experimental support for JDK 19 and improves observability. Project Leyden will standardize Java AOT compilation.
