Ratpack on GraalVM - how to start?

The journey inside the exciting world of GraalVM continues. Today I would like to share with you results of running Ratpack on GraalVM experiment. You are going to learn how to build a native binary of a simple "Hello, World!" Ratpack application. In the end we are going to run some benchmarks to see if running GraalVM executable produces better results than running JAR on a regular Oracle JDK.

Non-blocking and async Micronaut - quick start (part 3)

Welcome to the part 3 of "Non-blocking and async Micronaut" article. In the previous post we have created connection between two services using HTTP protocol and we have run some experiments with handling 10,000 requests. Today we are going to extend this example by setting some timeouts to see what happens.

Non-blocking and async Micronaut - quick start (part 2)

Welcome to the part 2 of "Non-blocking and async Micronaut" article. In the previous part we have explained the idea behind this demo and we have implemented product-service - a simple endpoint that returns information about some products. Today we will focus on implementing recommendations-service part and we will run some simple benchmark tests. Let’s start!

Non-blocking and async Micronaut - quick start (part 1)

Micronaut framework inventors says it is designed for building modern microservice applications. It supports reactive and non-blocking HTTP requests processing thanks to a powerful network application framework - Netty. In this blog post I will give you a quick and practical introduction to a asynchronous HTTP requests processing using a simple demo application. No more talking, it’s time to make our hands dirty with some Micronaut application code!
