Feel free to fork into the respositories here. The nice acts of collaboration and sharing are always welcome.

Releases v67 and later of Quarkus is out now!

To prioritise realisable ideas (SMART goals) and realise the top three, I rate them with-

• feasibility study,
• absolute value proposition,
• cost in terms of effort and time, and
• value for money (the returns against risk & investment). RoRI = RoR + RoI

For example, you may have a kind look at the dashboard here:

• Product Architectures: Event-sourced and async APIs, ReSTful APIs, gRPC for streaming, Microservice Architecture, Messaging

Let’s create efficient systems and bridge gaps. Experiences will build a life-long experience. Challenges are stepping stones. One must step upon them and progress. 😄

Code samples and PoC's ... for learners and seekers to refer quickly.

I must not mix them among the others by enumerating. So, here are many, many repositories, gists and projects. ROLLING DRUMS!!!

A new team member as well as an entrant into IaC arena can easily learn and quickly start delivering value with this repository. Its self-explanatory code is enough to couple with Terraform Cloud. Declaring resources with the help of variables is detailed out very well.

It is a data feed library for Live Score Board of Football World Cup. Right now it shows all ongoing football matches from our data feed providers and the live scores updated accordingly.

A comprehensive service for a multinational (or even global) company which operates in any financial domain. It is a service which allows consumers to calculate the net price of a product or service based on its gross price and the prevalent VAT (MWSt) rate. Our calculator also takes into consideration forex rates and performs the foreign currency conversions (foreign exchanges).

End-User Utility to take vehicles on lease, respect such leasing contracts and returning the leased vehicles to the providers. For use by customers (vehicle users). Screenshots of the revamped UI to attach in next update.

It has three main modules - Product, Order, Inventory - exposing their services with Web Services via synchronous and asynchronous communications. It has been implemented using these tech and tools (and more);

• Spring Boot 3.2, with Spring Web
• Spring Cloud Config (for service integration)
• Spring Security (for Authz-n-Authn)
• Keycloak (for user account management)
• MongoDB (NoSQL Database)
• Spring Data MongoDB (for Mongo Repository)
• MySQL (Relational Database System)
• Spring Data MySQL (for JPA Repository)
• Flyway (for Database Migration)
• Docker-Compose (for containerization)
• Swagger (for OpenAPI-based API documentation)
• Testcontainers (for Test Automation with stubs)
• Rest-Assured (for Testing and Validation)
• Lombok (for boilerplate code injection)
• Spring RestClient (out of Spring Boot)

The compact Human Resource management tool for adding talent to build Superteams!!! A must-have accelerator for modern large-scale enterprises. It allows for rapid onboarding of people and reduces error rates.

• improvement in performance and memory management
  • Generational Shenandoah (garbage collector)
• security and cryptography
  • key derivation function API
  • quantum-resistant DSA and more
• modernized Java APIs
  • ahead-of-time class loading and linking
  • class file API
  • more flexible pipelines with stream gatherers
• JVM changes
  • compact object headers
  • restricted use of JNI
  • Security Manager is now disabled.
• languages and syntax
  • switch, instanceof and primitive types
  • ScopedValue to share immutable data between caller thread and child threads
  • flexible constructor bodies (with prologue and epilogue)
  • module import
  • linking runtime image without JMOD
• more structured concurrency and threading
• deprecation and "end-of-life"
  • 32-bit x86 port deprecated
  • removal of support for Windows (32-bit x86)

New features available in Java 21 which we missed in Java 17 and earlier versions. Features, which are most notable and stand as the best candidates for frequent use, are listed below:

• Virtual threads (from Java 19)
• Usage of record types in conditionals. Very useful with if(reference instance Type) tests.

if(publicParameter instanceof SpecificType) {}

• labels for switch cases. These are very similar to instanceof checks.

case TierOne test -> future = test.callActionOne();
case TierTwo test -> future = test.callActionTwo();

• String literals (a preview feature) to build parameterized text strings. These are similar to string literals / template strings of modern JavaScript and f-strings of python. The template processor STR is automatically imported and is available to use without any explicit import or declaration. More template processors include RAW and FMT. Remember "fmt" of Go (Golang)?

String vmUserName = localSystem.retrieveUserName();
String helloVitrualWorld = STR."Hola \{vmUserName}";

• One major pathchanger about Java Collection Framework is: the introduction of "sequenced collections": SequencedCollection, SequencedSet and SequencedMap.

public interface SequencedCollection extends Collection // since 21
public interface SequencedMap extends Map // since 21
public interface SequencedSet extends SequencedCollection, Set // since 21

• My favorite as it is about security and encryption: Key Encapsulation Mechanism (KEP) to secure symmetric keys.
• TODO: Add updated screenshots
• Implementation examples are in the project code under Java21API along with the checklist of which of the features have been tested.

• restore always-Strict floating-point semantics
• enhanced pseudo-random number generators
• new macOS rendering pipeline
• macOS/AArch64 port
• deprecate the Applet API for removal
• strongly encapsulate JDK internals
• pattern matching for switch (preview)
• remove RMI activation
• sealed classes
• remove the experimental AOT and JIT compilers
• deprecate the Security Manager for removal
• Foreign Function and Memory API (incubator)
• Vector API (second incubator)
• context-specific deserialization filters

• These repositories present the resources being developed continuously as well as ready projects. Hence keep on pulling and sync'ing regularly.
• And, yes, continuous development and continuous integration are obviously good.
