As software developers, we always look for opportunities to improve our efficiency at work and optimize repeatable activities. One of them is application startup. Even if you cover your production code with unit tests and follow TDD, from time to time checking how the whole application works is inevitable. The more often you run it, the more time is wasted on waiting until the application is ready to operate.
Although the fast restart provided by Spring Boot DevTools is helpful for library class loading, it doesn’t solve the issue with the long startup of your own application code. From this post you will learn how to decrease the total number of coffee breaks in daily work by configuring faster Spring Boot startup in your local development environment.
Spring Cloud solves common problems of distributed systems. However, for someone who works only with widely known monolith applications jumping into the long list of patterns designed for distributed services might be quite overwhelming at the very beginning.

If we want to set Time To Live of a cache, the configuration of the chosen cache provider must be tuned. From this post you will learn how to prepare setup for several Caffeine caches with different TTL configurations.
The great thing about Spring Boot is no need for an external servlet container. All that is needed reside inside a single runnable JAR file. In a very few steps, development of a new application can be started without installation or configuration of any additional software.
Yet, sometimes you might want to deploy your application to some server as a regular WAR file. For instance, you convert an existing application and want to keep your continuous delivery pipe untouched or a particular container is enforced by a company’s policy. The reason for building a WAR file may vary across teams, but for development purpose a simple executable JAR file with an embedded server might be preferable.
SharePoint is widely known among .NET developers, but not so recognized in the group of JVM worshippers. Yet, sometimes integration between these two universes is required and one of possible choices to perform the connection is the set of SOAP web services exposed by the platform.
