Advanced programming with Java generics
List<? super Animal> (lower bound) can add Animal and its subtypes. List<? extends Animal> (upper bound) cannot add Animal or any subtype (except null). Reading bounded lists When reading lower- and upper-bound lists, remember this: List<? super Animal>: Items retrieved from a lower-bound list are of an indeterminate type up to Object. Casting is required […]

3 data engineering trends riding Kafka, Flink, and Iceberg
Re-envisioning microservices as Flink streaming applications A common way to process data is to pull it out of Kafka using a microservice, process it using the same or potentially a different microservice, and then dump it back into Kafka or another queue. However, you can use Flink paired with Kafka to do all of the […]

TypeScript 5.7 arrives with improved error reporting
Also in TypeScript 5.7 is a new compiler option, –rewriteRelativeImportExtensions. When an import path is relative and ends with a TypeScript extension (.ts, .tsx, .mts, .cts), and it is a non-declaration file, the compiler will rewrite the path to the corresponding JavaScript extension (.js, .jsx, .mjs, .cjs). This allows for writing TypeScript code that can […]

Succeeding with observability in the cloud
Complexity makes observability a necessary evil The complexity of modern cloud environments amplifies the need for robust observability. Cloud applications today are built upon microservices, RESTful APIs, and containers, often spanning multicloud and hybrid architectures. This interconnectivity and distribution introduce layers of complexity that traditional monitoring paradigms struggle to capture. Observability addresses this by utilizing […]

Kotlin for Java developers: Classes and coroutines
fun StarWarsMovie.releaseYear(): Int { val year = release_date.substring(0, 4) return year.toInt() } val newHope = StarWarsMovie(“A New Hope”, 4, “1977-05-25”) val releaseYear = newHope.releaseYear() println(“The release year of A New Hope is $releaseYear”) In the above example, we’ve defined a new method on the class, called releaseYear(). Note that we defined it directly on the […]
