A Guide to Resilience4j in Spring Boot for Fault-Tolerant Systems

A Guide to Resilience4j in Spring Boot for Fault-Tolerant Systems

Modern distributed systems must be resilient in the face of network failures, service downtime, and unpredictable latencies. As microservices architecture becomes the standard, building systems that can gracefully handle such failures is not just a feature—it’s a requirement. Resilience4j, a lightweight fault-tolerance library inspired by Netflix Hystrix, is designed for Read more

Building Event-Driven Architectures Using Spring Boot and Kafka

Building Event-Driven Architectures Using Spring Boot and Kafka

As applications scale in complexity and volume, traditional request-response models often fall short in terms of responsiveness, decoupling, and scalability. Event-driven architecture (EDA) has emerged as a powerful paradigm to address these challenges, enabling reactive, resilient, and loosely coupled systems. In this blog, we will explore how to build event-driven Read more

Understanding the Java Module System (JPMS) in Modern Applications

Understanding the Java Module System (JPMS) in Modern Applications

With the release of Java 9, the Java Platform introduced a significant architectural shift: the Java Platform Module System (JPMS). While backward compatibility remains intact, JPMS enables developers to write better organized, secure, and scalable applications. In this blog post, we will explore: Why JPMS Was Introduced Before Java 9, Read more
