J-Fall Virtual 2020: Maarten Smeets – Reactive Relational Database Connectivity using R2DBC

JDBC has been the de-facto standard for accessing relational databases for a long time. Times are however changing. In cloud environments the pay-per-use model is popular. If you can use resources more efficiently, you can save money! In addition, when running applications at cloud-scale, the number of concurrent requests which hit your services can skyrocket. […]

J-Fall Virtual 2020: Dieter Hubau – Automated Path to Production of Java Applications using Open Source and VMware Tanzu

Many enterprises have already matured to the point where Continuous Integration is standardized and every development team tests and builds each Git commit. Some of the enterprises are going a step further and are already containerizing that application in a standardized way using specific tooling, removing the need for maintaining the dreaded Dockerfiles and their […]

J-Fall Virtual 2020: Wouter Oet, Martin Visser, João Viegas & Chris Stapper – Keynote: Building Building Blocks

J-Fall Virtual 2020: Alex Soto – Serverless-Native Java with Quarkus

Serverless architecture is exactly the opposite of a monolith architecture, small services (or functions) running in a constrained running environment (limited access to CPU and memory). Furthermore, as we move to a model where we pay per usage, the services might need to go from 0 to infinite instances in a matter of milliseconds to […]

J-Fall Virtual 2020: Vadym Markelov – Mutation testing in practice

This session showcases advanced metrics of dynamic testing and how they can be used to detect hidden defects in the software applications. We will apply the white-box approach to focus on the internal structures of an application and to exercise paths through the code. There are two actors during the software test: the application and […]
