We all are aware of profile management in Spring Boot and the flexibility it provides in configuring our applications for different environments.

The accuracy of the log mechanism is not crucial and I don’t want it to block my business code in the case of kafka ...

One of the widely wasted resources in the world today is Memory. Due to inefficient programming, surprising (sometimes ‘shocking’) amount of memory is wasted. We see this pattern repeated in several enterprise applications. To prove this case, we conducted a small study. We analyzed the famous spring boot pet clinic application to see how much memory it is wasting. This ...

In the previous posts we build few micro services (Order Service, Product Service, Customer Service) for an order management system using Docker and Spring Boot.

Our previous setup works as expected. What we shall do now is to get one step further and configure two separate entity managers without affecting the functionality we achieved previously. The first step would be to set the default entity manager configuration to a primary one.This is the first step 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 ...

In our previous post we set up multiple PostgreSQL instances with the same data.Our next step would be to configure our spring project by using the both servers. As stated previously we shall use some of the code taken from the Spring Boot JPA post, since we use exactly the same database. This shall be our gradle build file 01 ...
