In this post I describe a micro benchmark that I ran to prove that, while it’s a convenient API if you’re using Spring in your application, it might introduce a performance penalty for which you should not ...

Spring MVC and AngularJs together make for a really productive and appealing frontend development stack for building form-intensive web applications.In this blog post we will see how a form-intensive web app can be built using these technologies, and compare such approach with other available options.

The following is by no means comprehensive, I will expand on this in the next series of posts. So Governator for the uninitiated ...

There might be cases when you want to quickly verify if your REST API, that is deployed either on dev, test or prod environments, is reachable altogether. A common way to do this is by building a generic resource that delivers for example the version of the deployed API. You can trigger a request to this resource manually or, even better, have ...

In my previous blog post I showed how easy Jersey can be configured with Spring Boot. My exploration on Spring Boot and Jersey did not end and I investigated the possibility of using Spring HATEOAS along with Jersey in Spring Boot application.
