An API gateway is an interface between clients and backend microservices. When a gateway is used, it becomes the single point of contact for clients; it receives their API calls and routes each one to the appropriate backend.
It facilitates microservice architectures. When an API gateway is used, clients do not know (nor should they know) the structure of the backend. Modern architectures discourage the use of large monolithic services; rather, numerous small microservices are preferred.
Continuous integration is a coding philosophy and set of practices that drive development teams to frequently implement small code changes and check them in to a version control repository. Most modern applications require developing code using a variety of platforms and tools, so teams need a consistent mechanism to integrate and validate changes. Continuous integration establishes an automated way to build, package, and test their applications. Having a consistent integration process encourages developers to commit code changes more frequently, which leads to better collaboration and code quality.
Introduction Spring data JPA provides many ways to deal with entities including query methods and custom JPQL queries. However, sometimes we need a more programmatic approach: for example Criteria API or QueryDSL.
Spring Data JPA Specification provides a convenient and sophisticated manner to build dynamic SQL where clauses. By adding some extra logic and considering some pitfalls, we are capable of offering API consumers a zero-effort generic mechanism for filtering entities.
Implementing custom jpa soft deletes because sometimes there are business requirements to not permanently delete data from the database.
A little things but important when uploading files through REST template. It should send the filename in the correct format.
Digital image processing is the use of a digital computer to process digital images through an algorithm. As a subcategory or field of digital signal processing, digital image processing has many advantages over analog image processing.
