“Microservices will fix it.” Not always. @asm0dey.site explains why most apps run better as modular monoliths with Spring Modulith: clearer structure, safer tests, and less complexity. youtu.be/AkXkEIc8hw0 Curious to hear your view – microservices or monolith?

#Java25 LTS lands next week with 18 new JEPs. One highlight is JEP 507 which extends pattern matching to primitives in switch and instanceof. No more boxing workarounds, just cleaner and more uniform code. Full feature breakdown: youtu.be/On0BHZY59do

Migrations without the stress. In our new video, @cat-edelveis.bsky.social shows how to use Liquibase with Spring Boot: changelogs in YAML/SQL, safe rollbacks, preconditions, diffs, and CI/CD. Watch here: youtu.be/a1vGvdYKP2Y

#JDK25 is out next week with 18 new JEPs. One highlight is JEP 505, the fifth preview of Structured Concurrency. It makes concurrency easier to read and maintain with structured blocks, simpler cancellation and cleaner error handling. Full breakdown: youtu.be/On0BHZY59do

The #Java25 LTS release is coming next week! If you don’t want to scroll through specs but still need to know what’s really coming, we’ve prepared a fast but detailed breakdown of all 18 JEPs: what they do, why they matter, and how they’ll affect real-world development: youtu.be/On0BHZY59do #Java

JEP 521 evolves Shenandoah: it finally gains a generational collector. For devs running latency-sensitive apps, this means smoother allocation and less GC overhead without sacrificing pause times. Details + all JDK 25 features: youtu.be/On0BHZY59do

This Thursday at #JavaZone2025, @asm0dey.site will explain how CRaC lets #Java apps start in milliseconds – no native images required. 🗓 Thu, 11:40 AM 📍 Room V, Lillestrøm

From seconds to milliseconds: #LibericaJDK with CRaC lets #Java apps skip warm-up and start instantly at peak performance. Learn more: bell-sw.com/libericajdk-...

In Java, every object has a header storing metadata. Multiply that by thousands of objects, and it’s a serious memory tax. JEP 519 in JDK 25 shrinks headers from 128 → 64 bits, improving cache efficiency and reducing GC overhead. Details + all 18 JEPs: youtu.be/On0BHZY59do

Latency spikes, GC pauses, scaling delays – real problems for #Java in the cloud. Our article looks at performance testing strategies and tools to deal with them: bell-sw.com/blog/java-pe...

Broken deployments because of migrations? #Flyway helps avoid that. Here’s a hands-on guide to using it in #SpringBoot with Maven, including CI/CD integration: youtu.be/XnhTJmKjGSQ

Microservices + serverless hate slow startup. JEP 515 in JDK 25 makes it faster with Ahead-of-Time profiling. Full #JDK25 breakdown: youtu.be/On0BHZY59do
