Event: Comparing Native Java REST API Frameworks with Matt Raible

-
Manchester Java Community hosted a meetup with a fantastic speaker Matt Raible in Infinity Works's office. Matt compared the startup performance and memory usage of Spring Boot, Micronaut, Quarkus and Helidon frameworks. He built a REST API application secured by OAuth 2.0 and ran the application in Docker with the four frameworks respectively.
His slides and related resources can be found at Comparing Native Java REST API Frameworks - Manchester JUG 2022. Here is my thought after the talk:
  • Java is still hugely popular and widely used (Yay!). The community should contribute to the language to encourage more younger generation to adopt it.
  • Use SDKMAN to manage multiple JDK in a local computer
  • Use HTTPie which is better than cURL for testing API
  • Test OpenID Connect requests and debug responses with OpenID Connect debugger
  • Build optimized Docker images for your Java applications with Jib
  • Compare with startup time which does matter for Serverless
  • Take MicroProfile as the baseline platform for Java microservices architecture.
  • Secure API with OAuth 2.1 to capture best practices of 2.0 with extensions
  • Spring provides much better testing support. It can mock up all the things before you reach endpoints. Spring has the strongest and dominent community and ecosystem.
  • Quarkus does not need compilation again when changed
  • Frameworks ease the development. On the other hand, the sophisticated frameworks hide the complexity which developers may not deep-dive it. Thus it may incur a risk of unwanted side effects of other libraries they are not aware of.
  • Spring framework comes with other sister projects like Spring Data and Spring Security. It is not straightforward to migrate from Spring due to dependency of sister projects.

My Sharing about JavaFX Attending JManc , an unconference organised by Manchester Java Community and hosted at Auto Trader 's offices, was an exciting experience. This unique event demonstrating the essence of participant-driven learning and collaboration, set the stage for a series of engaging and enlightening sessions. Propose and vote for topics In the morning, we proposed topics using sticky notes. Afterward, we voted on these topics with dots, shaping the day's agenda based on collective interest. This process itself was a testament to the community's diverse interests and expertise. Breakfast Keynote by Helen Scott Keynote by Helen Scott The unconference kicked off with a keynote by Helen Scott from JetBrains . Helen's talk centered on AI, a topic so crucial and timely that, as she humorously noted, audience would have thrown her out of the window if she did not speak of AI. Her insights into AI's impact on development and the future of programming set a tho...

Tales from Earthsea

Recommendation: please read the original novel series Earthsea before you watch the movie (Japanese: ゲド戦記, meaning the Story of Ged's Battles), otherwise you'd sleep very well in the cinema. I left some comment about this movie in other blogs , here is its English translation: I don't think that the problem of the movie is the fault of the plot, because the director Goro Miyazaki (Japanese: 宮崎吾朗) is not the author of the novel and the novel is an award-winning piece. The problem is that he selected a wrong media to express his own vision. First of all, the novel is not popular in Chinese society. Few people would spend hours to finish the books before watching the movie. The director selected to start the movie by the third book of the series, however. It would make audiences lose their way. This is because much background information has been described in previous book, say Tenar's experience in The Tombs of Atuan. Unlike his father Hayao Miyazaki (Japanese: 宮崎駿) as t...

Real View Will

I am a HIP (hidden, inactive and passive) member. I had looked for any suitable activity, so I attended the gathering last Saturday. There were three guests to talk about investment in personnal opinions instead of standard words. This is the irreplaceable value of a private gathering. The first guest was a broker. He began with introduction of investment theories. In his opinion, investing in stock is like multi-level marketing. When a stock releases, an investor buys and introduces it to another. The second investors buys it and the stock price increases. And so on, until no following investor buys it to support the stock price and the price drops. This figure simply explained the relationship between the cash flow of the market and the stock price. The second guest was a reporter. Being a reporter, he has experienced many issues under table. He identified unstated relationships amongst various parties such as the authories, the academics, mass media, institutional investors and smal...
