One recommended approach to improving an application’s performance is caching.

In this article, we will explore the key differences between Ktor and Spring Boot for Kotlin developers based on the experience of various developers.

In this article, we will first discuss what performance is in general, and then we will discuss 10 Spring Boot Performance Best Practices to make our Spring Boot fast and resource-efficient.

Lookahead Scoped values + Structured concurrency Module import declarations

What is Test Coverage? Test Coverage vs Code Coverage What is the gap to have a true test coverage? How can tracing data improve test coverage? Relation between end-to-end tests and Tracing data Let's get our hands dirty with real code Write integration test using MockWebServer Write end-to-end tests without mocking interactions

Tips for becoming a better Java developer, including upgrading Java versions, learning Kotlin, exploring other languages/frameworks, understanding Loom and Structured Concurrency, getting coverage from Oracle, learning Groovy and Scala, practicing Continuous Feedback, using Ktor, building side projects, focusing on observability, staying connected with the Java community, reading professional developer blogs, following influencers on social media, and signing up for a Java articles reading list.
