Java REST API Showdown: Which is the Best Framework on the Market?
Developing services in Java, including REST APIs, wasn’t always easy or productive until Spring came along and changed the landscape. Many years have passed since then, and new frameworks have emerged in the community. One of these frameworks was Micronaut. It’s developed by OCI, the same company behind Grails, and their goal is to help developers create microservices and serverless applications. There is also Quarkus, another framework that gained popularity over the last year. Developed...
Build a Secure REST Application Using Jersey
REST is one of the most used architectural styles when it comes to developing web services. In Java, we have the JAX-RS specification that defines how to create a RESTful application. To show the power of the spec, Jersey, the reference implementation of JAX-RS was created. Building JAX-RS endpoints only requires adding annotations to your code. Keep reading to see how easy it is! In this tutorial you’ll create a TODO list service that will...
Kafka with Java: Build a Secure, Scalable Messaging App
Today’s users expect your app to be accessible from their computer, mobile phone, tablet, or any other device! This transition to Software as a Service (SaaS) as the norm requires developers to effectively integrate with robust tools that scale to handle thousands (or even millions) of requests every second. Apache Kafka is one of the most effective tools for handling those high throughput environments. In this tutorial, you’ll learn the basic concepts behind Apache Kafka...
OAuth 2.0 Java Guide: Secure Your App in 5 Minutes
Modern applications rely on user authentication, but it can present Java developers with a difficult challenge, as well as a range of framework-specific options to choose from. We have seen many Spring developers start with a simple, home-grown authentication service they plan to replace “later” with a more robust option… only for that homegrown service to bikeshed its way to a permanent place in the stack. To end this cycle of heartbreak, this post will...
Build an Application with Spring Boot and Kotlin
In 2011, JetBrains, the company behind IntelliJ, decided to create a modern language that would run inside the Java Virtual Machine and address common concerns with Java at the time like its verbosity. This project became Kotlin, a quickly growing and popular language. Google then announced official support for Kotlin on Android, further accelerating its adoption. Many companies started to replace Java with Kotlin as their main language to take advantage of the new features...
Easy Spring Boot Deployment with AWS Elastic Beanstalk
Nearly all applications rely on authentication. Developers, and the companies that employ them, want to confirm who is making the request and are they who they say they are. And, this needs to happen fast enough for a good user experience. Fortunately, there are great tools to help. Spring Boot with Spring Security is a fantastic solution for Java-based web development. With relatively little code, developers can implement, test, update, and expand authentication schemes easily...
