Testcontainers is a Java library that supports JUnit tests, providing lightweight, throwaway instances of common ...

In an earlier video, I shared how to run the Quarkus remote-dev mode in Docker containers, which is very helpful for local and remote development environments. Since Quarkus version 1.6, however, the way how we execute the remote dev mode has changed. Assuming, we’d like to have the same setup like in the mentioned video. What’s new is that we ...

Kafka popularity increases every day more and more as it takes over the streaming world. It is already provided out of the box on cloud providers like AWS, Azure and IBM Cloud. Eventually for cases of local development it is a bit peculiar due to requiring various moving parts. This blog will focus on making it easy for a developer ...

In this second part of docker tutorial, I’ll explain basics of networking in docker with stand-alone containers. Remember from the previous part of the tutorial where we mapped port of our host machine and the container? In this part, we will setup our containers so they can communicate with each other and for that we don’t need to do an ...

Running a PostgreSQL instance ad-hoc for testing is not always as bootstraping as it should be. This blog will run a PostgreSQL instance that connects to your workstation’s network and instead of using one of the popular tools like dbeaver we shall use the client that comes with the instance. Also we shall run a bootstrap script to have some ...
