Yesterday Cay Horstmann visited the Giant Leap office in Oslo, and gave us an exclusive talk followed by a very interesting discussion on virtual threads and structured concurrency - two of the most exciting and relevant topics in Java right now 💫 Some takeaways from our discussion: - Greatly improves throughput when threads mostly block. For CPU-intensive tasks consider alternatives such as parallel streams. - Removes the need for reactive programming. Use the “synchronous” Java style  you know and love! - You can have many more virtual threads than physical threads. Beware of thread-local variables and consider rate-limiting for external bottlenecks. - Java has the advantage of being a late mover. Other languages get shiny new features earlier, but Java often does it better 😉 Thanks again for the visit, Cay! You are truly an inspiration to us in Giant Leap and the rest of the Java world 🚀

👨‍🔧 ➡ ☁ Mooncascade is proud to have partnered with Alldevice on their journey to AWS! We successfully migrated their applications from a Kubernetes setup on Hetzner to a robust and scalable AWS environment. ☁️  Alldevice was a fantastic team to collaborate with - driven, communicative, and truly invested in achieving their goals. Previously grappling with high maintenance overheads, Alldevice sought a solution to improve system reliability and expandability. By migrating their applications to AWS, leveraging serverless technologies like AWS ECS and managed databases like RDS, we delivered a more robust and manageable infrastructure ✅. ✨ Key outcomes and benefits Eliminated downtime: Frequent system crashes are now a thing of the past. Reduced maintenance overhead: The customer can focus on their core business, not system upkeep ⏱️. Enhanced scalability: The new AWS infrastructure is easily expandable to meet future needs. 📚 Lessons learned Tailored solutions: While Kubernetes is a powerful tool it also requires more product knowledge and upkeep, it's important to choose the right platform for specific needs. Customer-centric approach: Understanding the customer's goals and preferences is essential for successful project outcomes. We're grateful for the opportunity to work with Alldevice and contribute to their success. Special thanks to Veiko Kelk and Kaarel Kelk from Alldevice - really easy maintenance management 🙏! Thank you for a great project! 🙌 👉 Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/dXSdQxmg #Mooncascade #Alldevice #AWSMigration #Kubernetes #CloudComputing #ITConsulting #SoftwareDevelopment

I used to hate "10x Developers". The idea of a unicorn that can do 10x the average developer that took the industry by storm. Until I spoke with Gregor Ojstersek about this. He convinced me that 10x Developers do exist. Not because they can do 10 times more on their own. But because they bring out the best in others. And together, they do 10x for the whole organization. This is the real 10x Developer. Not 10x the individual performer. 10x the impact on the business. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this - drop them below and tune into our next episode of CTO Insights for a deeper dive. Link to the full episode: https://lnkd.in/dnXFcg5k

🎥 Recordings of our presentation on Copenhagen AWS User Group Meetup in June 2024 In this talk, Krzysztof Słowiński and Pooyan Razian discussed some of the challenges tech companies face in managing different volumes of data for different purposes. Then, for data analytics, we discussed centralized and decentralized approaches and different architectures for building Data Lakes, Data Meshes, etc. After that, we discussed seven selected challenges in building data platforms and how Amazon Web Services (AWS) could help us and enterprise companies like the hypothetical case we chose for our talk. Finally, we wrapped up with a summary and answered a few questions. Link to the video on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/dXHUC_QX #aws #meetup #data #cloud
