I've been working with Fuse for ages and I'm still not convinced OSGi is worth the trouble. ServiceMix, Felix, Karaf etc can be a total lottery some times as to whether or not it will do what you asked. Dropwizard or SpringBoot ft

and remember how bad it was trying to get application server X to deploy your war file from a command line without exploding for some bizarre reason? It still actually makes me sad to think of the hours of my life wasted writing WLST jython

I did my first fat jar project in 2010 with embedded jersey and it was about 10mb. We use dropwizard now and most of our microservices sit at around 20mb which I think is still slim enough to avoid the extra overhead of managing the depende

I lived through the nightmare of cruise control. Kudos to Thoughtworks for writing it as it was the first CI tool, and then actual thanks to JetBrains for writing Team City so we could actually make sense of our builds!

Given how much mindshare atlassian have got in the enterprise market, it is amazing they can't be bothered/organised enough to implement this.

+1 for getting rid of hibernate (and JPA et al). We've been mucking around with JBDI recently it really seems to work well. We haven't done anything extravagant yet, but initial impressions are good

Great story! I worked at a large aerospace manufacturer who had their most important production systems (just for a single factory) running on an ancient VAX. It was written in the 60's and the original author's son, who was the s

swagger 2.0 spec and RAML are almost the same thing. There's some minor differences but I would guess you could import the RAML into AWS and it would work

me too! (not the oracle version though) :( It does suck a bit, I've also sent Layer 7 into production which is just as bad as Axway. Typical Vendorware. The AWS Gateway is pretty enticing. Solves lots of the API Gateway problem space v

Kununurra have the opposite problem - they are on AWST but are only about 400 kms from Darwin. So the sun comes up at 4am and sets at 4pm.

Not all load balancers support this (I recall some very expensive alteons that didnt) but worse is when the LB does support it but it isn't configured to check. Out of the box most LB's will do a TCP bind and if that works, then f

Binary formats have their drawbacks - the guy that designed the AMQP protocol called the wire protocol he designed for it an "expert mistake". Admittedly he was designing a spec rather than a product but worth understanding. Sourc

The standard JMS spec supports durable queues and topics. Generally a nightmare to manage though - trying to track down a unconsumed message on a clustered durable topic with lots of subscribers is like trying to find a needle in a stack of

+1 agree with that (although you can use the DB based persistent store). The other obvious problem with AMQ is that it supports XA transactions which means people are tempted to use it, which in turn leads to much pain and suffering for all

I went to Iceland in February and we went to Gulfoss (the Golden Waterfall). It wasn't that cold, maybe -5 deg c, but with the winds (probably gusting at 100km/h) and the frozen rain it was the single most unpleasant place I'

A desal plant in Australia is a good idea because it is an arid continent and is prone to drought. The biggest desal plant in the world was not a good idea. It was not required at the time and probably wont be required for another 20 years,
