1:16:21

So we continue to have guests in our show to talk to us about interesting things... This time is about Apache Tika. This is an incredible tool to do search file processing and metadata extraction.

3M ago1:32:26

1:32:26

We have a great time talking to Matt Topol from Voltron Data on one of his Apache Software Foundation projects called Apache Arrow. It's both a spec and implementation of a columnar data format that is not only efficient, but cross-language compatible.

1:30:19

Yeah! so we have been working with the cloud for a while, terms like K8s, EC2, Route53, BlobData, CLI has been swinged around... and is a little mysterious, and sometimes looks like a black box where you just click buttons, add things, type commands, until it finally something good happens. But if something bad happens, we tend not to have the slig…

3y ago1:00:56

1:00:56

So while Java is the "main" language of the JVM, it is by no means the "only" language. And one of the purely functional programming languages is getting a new facelift! Scala has been going through a revamp on the syntax and the features, and if you ever run into a scala user you know how passionate they are about their language! (hint: they love …

Episode 96. Watching Metrics w/Micrometer and Statsd 1:09:10

3y ago1:09:10

1:09:10

You'll run it everywhere there's a production system. Some kind of Metrics collector like Statsd or InfluxDB. They work like magic, reporting on the health of your application. but how does it really happen? We dive in on how these Application Performance Management tools work and how do they really "see into" your application. We demistify all thi…

3+ y ago1:08:08

1:08:08

So we had a previous episode where we show a party trick with GraalVM, where we saw how to create a Native Image.

In this epidose we dive a little deeper on how to actually run your Restful Web service (or other app) natively, going through the exercise…

Episode 94. Oh, put on your hat Dr. Watson, we are sleuthing this Heap Dump 1:05:55

3+ y ago1:05:55

1:05:55

So it happens. Sometimes a Java program just "dies" with the dreaded Out-of-memory Exception. Sometimes, it leaves behind a "heap dump", or a copy of what the Java program had in memory when just before it throw the Out-of-memory exception. For some devs, a heap dump is stressful, because they think is a black box with only mysteries, but we are he…

3+ y ago1:10:27

1:10:27

We're back! and now we move to the new-fangled serialization and deserialization frameworks, starting with Protobufs! Google's contribution to the serialization space, Protobuf V3 makes it easy to create a very efficient on-the-wire serialized representation of objects, and then some.

You heard it going around, everybody is talking about Kubernetes, and Minikube, when using Docker, and CLI. It's like a foreign language!

4+ y ago1:13:41

1:13:41

One of the first things that you learn to appreciate when you transition programming from hobby to a way of life is to find a good way to troubleshoot problems. Most of the time this means logging and monitoring, so for this episode we decided to interview Renaud Boutet who is DataDog's VP of Product Manager, and don't worry, he's really a develope…

4+ y ago1:14:00

It's that Streaming-new-deal that has been taken over the web world, Reactive! You've heard about it, and maybe even tried to learn it a couple of times but find it confusing?

Oh my! This episode is going to be one of our favorites. There are times where the Java ecosystem delivers something incredibly interesting (InvokeDynamic, Lambdas, Streams, Kotlin), and this episode is one of those!

Episode 85. Monitor the World with JMX! 50:29

5y ago50:29

50:29

There are technologies that sometimes are forgotten in a lonely corner, but that actually are quite sturdy. One of these is the All-Powerful Java Management Extensions (also known as JMX). With JMX you can actually expose a lot of metrics of your application and TONS of libraries use it "out of the box". Libraries like Tomcat, JVM, ActiveMQ, Spring…

Episode 84. Let's get down and dirty w/Netty! 1:05:22

5y ago1:05:22

1:05:22

So you get that project that needs to connect to a server that doesn't talk rest, or http(s), but has its own protocol (or maybe it DOES talk https but you are looking for incredible performance!). Well, look no further than Netty! Sure, sure, you could really spend time working with NIO.2 and creating your own sockets and all that jazz, but why? T…

Episode 83. Hey! Your app needs its yearly HealthCheck as well! 50:48

5y ago50:48

50:48

You got your new project, it's a brand new service, and is ready to go! But... have you done a health check endpoint for your app? In this day and age of microservices with auto-remediation and auto-scaling, having a well-behaved, functioning health-check is very important since it dictates when to evict, scale up (or down) your service. And the gr…

5+ y ago47:13

47:13

Ah, Project Lombok is one of those little gems in the Java Ecosystem. But it's interestingly controversial! Some will love it (as I do), others will hate it! But no matter which camp you land on, you should at least know about it! Project Lombok allows you to, quite easily create your equals/hashcode method, or create a builder pattern for your cla…
