The Modular Monolith: The Java Architecture Most Teams Should Be Using
A practical guide to the modular monolith in Java and Spring Boot — package structure, enforced module boundaries, domain events, and the honest case for why it beats microservices for most teams.
10 Spring Boot Mistakes That Silently Kill Production Apps
A practical breakdown of the most common Spring Boot anti-patterns that cause degraded performance, memory leaks, and outages — with before/after code, real query plans, and how to catch them before they reach production.
Java Developer Roadmap 2026: What to Learn, What to Skip
A practical, opinionated roadmap for Java developers in 2026 — covering Java 21-24 features, Spring Boot 3, virtual threads, AI integration with Spring AI, cloud-native patterns, and what to stop wasting time on. Organized by experience level.
Temporal vs Spring Batch: Fixing Enterprise Java's Silent Job Failure Problem
Many enterprise Java teams have scheduled jobs failing silently, running concurrently, and corrupting data — without knowing. This guide explains how Temporal's durable execution model solves these problems, with complete code examples migrating from @Scheduled and Spring Batch.
Building a Spring Boot Microservices Project from Scratch (Complete Guide)
A complete walkthrough of building a production-ready microservices system with Spring Boot — covering service decomposition, API gateway, service discovery, Docker Compose, inter-service communication, and real code throughout.
You Can't Debug What You Can't See: Observability, Monitoring & Logging in Microservices
Most microservices teams add logging as an afterthought and call it observability. After running distributed systems at scale, here's what actually separates teams that debug in minutes from teams that debug in days.
Implementing Observability in Microservices: A Step-by-Step Guide with Real Code
A complete walkthrough — Docker Compose stack, OpenTelemetry instrumentation, structured logging with Pino, Prometheus metrics, and Grafana dashboards. Every step has working code you can run today.
Microservices Done Right: Patterns I've Learned from 12 Years of Enterprise Architecture
Real-world patterns, anti-patterns, and hard lessons from designing and delivering microservices for global enterprises — from service decomposition to event-driven architecture to the observability you'll wish you had from day one.
Why Apigee is the Missing Layer in Every Microservices Architecture
After years of building enterprise microservices at scale — from Herbalife to HCA Healthcare — here's why I believe API management isn't optional anymore, and what Apigee-X brings to the table that raw gateways simply can't.
Microservices Best Practices
Enterprise-grade practices for designing, deploying, and operating microservices systems that actually scale — from domain modelling to runtime resilience.
