cheap node.js ‘fetch’ for people not wanting to use 3rd party libs

Using javascript/typescript ? rest ? using json ? Just http(s) >= 1.1 ? more and more people are getting tired with the idea of bundling external libraries in their own service / library.

Bind all your gprc endpoints with a simple and magic coRouter

grpc-services are quite simple, focused and performance oriented services. Instead of calling them with a format that needs complex marshalling / unmarshalling, and making use of a standard http 1.1 connection, grpc has a dedicated (therefore faster) generated code for each type.

Rendering react in Java

Before telling me that I am crazy, think about it again. There are plenty of ways to use server-side rendering today, and the practice of sending displayable data through the network has proven to be efficient : - rendering data logged in the same tool as for backend services - less client business logic, less… Read More »

spring-boot : declare yaml partials

It has been a question for me for many years : How can I inject spring properties from a library right into my application without any overhead * no copy / paste* no reference in the configuration* just by adding a maven / gradle dependency in the classpath.

Otherwise, if you are interested in writing your own asynchronous strategies, here are two of them (in addition to my post from April 2019 : https://libetl.wordpress.com/2019/04/30/learn-how-to-group-expensive-calls-with-the-coroutines/).

How do I mock javax.sql.DataSource

By LiBePosted on Friday 31 July 2020Friday 31 July 2020Cat G33k, ProgrammesLeave a comment

This is the annoying question I have had to ask myself. Integration tests are pretty slow. Even when they use a dedicated database like H2 or Derby, they are still accessing dark infrastructure software layers to read / edit / write / flush data. I was wanting tests able to run in no time and… Read More »
