Message-based #microservices introduce testing challenges that aren’t always obvious - especially around transactions and consistency. This short resource walks through the scenarios teams often overlook 🙂 👉 maven.com/p/d2e0b7/bus...

Honest question for business owners 👇 Do you reply to all your #Google reviews? I see so many great businesses with amazing #reviews but no replies - even to positive ones. I’m trying to understand how people actually handle this. #business

Great news to share: the first seats for my workshop are already taken 🎉 If you’d like to join, you can find all the details on the workshop page: 👉 maven.com/toomuchcodin... I’m also hosting a short session that sets the context for the workshop here: 👉 maven.com/p/d2e0b7/bus...

When dealing with #microservices it's difficult to do proper #testing. Especially when you're doing message based communication - have you actually considered all scenarios when transactions come into play? Check this resource for more information 🙂 maven.com/p/d743a4/tes...

It's fantastic to see that first students bought their seats at my workshop! if you want join, check the landing page maven.com/toomuchcodin... and the upcoming presentation of mine maven.com/p/d2e0b7/bus...

Business won’t wait. Platforms can’t slow it down. I’m doing a lightning session on why infra and platform teams matter, and how they can enable real business value. Not a tool talk. Not a tutorial. A perspective talk for people building systems at scale. 👉 maven.com/p/d2e0b7/bus...

I've been working with #AI for some time now but making the locally running LLMs return anything meaningful is an art by itself. The amount of hallucinations, instruction ignoring and complete waste of time is mind-blowing. Anybody else has similar observations?

Hard to believe this post is from 10 years ago! What started as an idea later evolved into Spring Cloud Pipelines - I’ve just reimplemented it for a customer. Always great when architecture concepts stand the test of time. 🙂 toomuchcoding.com/post/2015-09... #microservices #deployment

Another blog post from 10 years ago. The idea was then converted to the Spring Cloud Pipelines project. Recently, it was implemented from scratch for one of my customers. I'm really proud that all the concepts survived the test of time 🙂 toomuchcoding.com/post/2015-09... #microservices #deployment

My plans for visiting [at least] 30 JUGs in 2025 to commemorate Java’s 30th anniversary fell short due to recent employment change (still seeking btw). Only made it to 19 at 🇳🇱🇧🇪🇺🇸🇵🇪🇨🇭🇳🇴🇱🇹 Perhaps I can reach the goal next year before Java turns 31, we’ll see 😉
