Learn when NOT to use microservices in Java programming. Discover pitfalls, examples, and best practices to build smarter, simpler systems. Microservices are everywhere. If you’ve spent any time in Java programming, you’ve probably heard people say, “Just break it into microservices!” But here’s the reality: microservices are not always the right solution. Imagine you’re building a small online bo
Cuando una aplicación necesita leer un archivo, escribir en una conexión TCP o esperar datos de un disco, el kernel de Linux ofrece tradicionalmente dos caminos: bloquear el proceso hasta que la operación termine, o usar interfaces como epoll y Linux AIO para manejar múltiples operaciones concurrentes. Durante casi tres décadas, esas fueron las opciones dominantes. Pero desde la versión 5.1 del ke
When Google announced the Manifest V3 deadline, the developer community had a lot to say — most of it negative. The service worker model was rightly criticized as a regression for ad blockers and complex extensions. I've now migrated 18 extensions from MV2 to MV3, or built them MV3-native from the start. The commonly documented issues (no persistent background pages, limited webRequest) are real.
The Autonomous Paradox In 2026, we’ve moved past simple chatbots. We are building Production-Grade RAG pipelines and autonomous agents that can plan, execute, and iterate. But as an architect, I’ve noticed a glaring hole in our "Agentic" future: Identity Sprawl. We are giving agents non-human identities (NHI) with "Full Admin" permissions just to ensure the RAG works smoothly. We are effectively
Introduction In the article Introduction to Spring AI, we introduced the sample application to search for conferences. We also exposed its functionality as a set of MCP-compatible tools. In the article Explore Spring AI MCP Server with Streamable HTTP protocol, we ran this application as an MCP-Server locally and connected to it using the MCP Inspector or Amazon Q Developer. I decided to make so
Most agency onboarding fails before the kickoff call happens. Not because the team isn't good. Not because the client is difficult. Because nobody collected the right context upfront, and the kickoff call becomes the place where everyone discovers what they don't know yet. The intake form is the fix. Not a 3-question "tell us about your project" form. A real one. Here's the framework we use — 27 q
If you mostly live in .NET, the Java platform can look like a parallel universe: JVM, JDK, JARs, app servers, bytecode. The useful shortcut is to map each concept back to something you already know from C# and the CLR. This guide is a translation layer for .NET developers: what the JVM is, how the JDK compares to the .NET SDK, and what your real options are when a C# system needs to work with Java
What is Azure Storage? Azure storage is Microsoft's cloud storage solution. It allows storage of unstructured data, pdfs, file shares etc. The following steps in this article outlines how I was able to create storage for the department's testing and training. In the Azure portal, search for and select Resource groups Select + Create Give your resource group a name. For example, storagerg
