BTW paraphrasing Alexey Shipilev:

1. Do not make your own micro benchmarks
2. Seriously DO NOT
3. Use JMH if you must

Today I was reminded about that time I’ve got into benchmarking 2nd level cache options between EclipseLink and Hibernate … back in 2018 😅 #codeone

Perhaps I should update it with recent versions of Java, libraries & frameworks, and real databases with Testcontainers

🔧 Life Hack: you don’t need an external service to generate QR-codes. APEX can do this for you 🤯

In this article I share how I created a QR-code in PL/SQL for use in an upcoming presentation 🖥️ APEX is so much more than a low code platform 🤩

Life hack: encode a URL in a QR code using APEX

Someone in the community once said to me that APEX is awesome even if you’re not writing APEX apps in the database. It comes with so many useful featues – like the one you’re read…

Here’s why I advocate for posting non-Maven resolvable artifacts such as ZIPs, TARs, etc, to places other than Maven Central.

Post only JARs (binaries, javadocs, sources) and required metadata (poms, checksums, signatures, and likely sboms).

Place every other artifact elsewhere.

Free isn’t free: the infrastructure behind open source has real costs, and it’s time we aligned usage with responsibility.

This morning we jointly launch a new blog and open letter on sustainable stewardship.

From Abuse to Alignment: Why We Need Sustainable Open Source Infrastructure

Open source relies on shared infrastructure. Learn why sustainable stewardship is critical to keep ecosystems like Maven Central strong.
