Image
  Code Quality Is Not a Matter of Luck In today’s high-pressure development environments, code quality cannot rely solely on the care, experience, or goodwill of individual developers. While human attention is critical, it’s no longer enough. DevOps tools and best practices are the true foundation for building scalable, maintainable, and error-resistant software systems. Without them, development becomes a fragile, manual process—prone to mistakes, technical debt, and eventually, blame culture. The Limits of Developer Experience There’s a persistent myth in software teams: that code quality comes from hiring experienced developers who simply “pay attention” and avoid mistakes. This assumption is not just outdated—it’s dangerous. Even highly skilled professionals are often: Overwhelmed by short deadlines Distracted by context switching Forced to make trade-offs under pressure In such conditions, relying solely on experience and attention invites human error.

Mastering Virtual Threads in Java and Spring Boot - Many requests, few threads—nobody waits too long.

Image
Java’s Virtual Threads  are revolutionizing how we write concurrent applications. With the introduction of virtual threads in modern JDKs, Java developers can create thousands or even millions of threads with minimal overhead. This has big implications for high-throughput server apps, including those built with Spring Boot. In this article, I’ll explain what virtual threads are, how they differ from classic threads, and the advantages they bring. I’ll also dive into how Spring Boot supports virtual threads (from Spring Boot 3.2 onward) and what changes in programming style they enable. By the end, intermediate to advanced Java/Spring developers will understand how to leverage virtual threads for more scalable and simpler concurrent code. What Are Virtual Threads? Virtual threads  are lightweight threads managed by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) rather than the operating system. In Java, virtual threads are sti...
