Chaos Engineering is the discipline of experimenting on a system in order to build confidence in the system’s capability to withstand turbulent conditions in production. As we build more and more distributed systems by leveraging microservices and cloud platforms, we create a lot of moving parts and potential points of failure which makes these systems … Continue reading Chaos Engineering & Chaos Monkey for Spring Boot Applications
Service Virtualization mimics or simulates behaviors of components that are unavailable or difficult to access while testingMicroservices applications are generally composed of multiple services. During the testing phase when the dependent services are not available, service virtualization technique allows to mimic the unavailable service and continue the tests even when the actual service is unavailable.During … Continue reading Service virtualization with spring boot microservices
Feature toggle is a design pattern used to hide, enable or disable a feature during runtime. For example, during the deployment, a developer can disable the feature in the code which is released to production and enable it later in the next iterations when its 100% ready or enable the feature for testing to limited … Continue reading Spring Boot Toggle Feature using Togglz

Developing a REST API using Spring Boot framework accelerates the development process, and allows API developer to only focus on writing the core business logic. However understanding the end to end a request life cycle will help the developers to understand the overall process and behind the scene activities done by Spring, to debug and … Continue reading Lifecycle of a request and response process for a SPRING REST API
