In one of my previous posts I already discussed how to process the Twitter sample feed using Apache Storm, and now we’re going to walk through the steps of creating a sample Spring Boot application that reads messages from Twitter sample feed using the Spring Social Twitter framework and writes data to Neo4J using Spring Data Neo4J.

Futhermore, we will heavily use Repository goodies of beloved Spring Data. Let’s begin by installing Elastic Search on our machine and ...

How to get a production ready Java application off the ground in the shortest time possible? I’m not a morning person, so sometimes it takes a while for the “all systems are go” cue to kick in. This used to be true for Java applications until not too long ago, but unlike the invention of the snooze function on the ...

A really “Quick Start” with Spring Boot, WildFly and OpenShift as opposed to my last, more descriptive article. Prerequisite Before we can start building the application, we need to have an OpenShift free account and client tools installed.
