With the introduction of Spring, developing services in Java became easier and more productive. More specifically, REST APIs have improved, and the years since Spring's introduction have only added to the new frameworks that have emerged in the community.
Micronaut is one of the most known frameworks—developed by OCI, the company also responsible for Grails. Their goal is to assist developers to create serverless applications and microservices.
Today’s app users demand the very best user experience. They are accustomed to accessing their apps from all their devices (computers, mobile phones, tablets, etc). As platforms continue to transition to Software as a Service (SaaS), developers are constantly collaborating with powerful tools that scope to handle thousands of requests every second. This is where Apache Kafka, a robust tool that is known for handling highly intense environments, comes in.
In this post, we’ll introduce you to the basics of Apache Kafka and move on to building a secure, scalable messaging app with Java and Kafka.
Present-day apps depend on user authentication, which can be challenging for Java developers. Many developers build their own authentication service as a placeholder for a more powerful option only for that homegrown service to become a permanent solution. Through this post, I will show you how to integrate an enterprise auth service to a simple app as a solution to ending this heartbreak of a cycle.
We’ll create an app that showcases user information. We’ll manually compose the authentication in the app to see the downsides. We’ll then move to the enterprise-auth solution. By the end of this post, you’ll learn how to secure a working Spring app using OAuth 2.0 for authentication in just 5 minutes.
Kotlin was created by JetBrains in 2011 to make app development easier and to address some well-known issues with Java at the time like its verbosity. It rapidly gained popularity and even more so when Google formally announced Kotlin support on Android.
Countless companies are taking advantage of the features that Kotlin offers and switching over from Java, making it a significant language within the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) ecosystem.
Authentication and good user experience are crucial for all applications. Developers and companies need a quick way to verify and validate the requesters, without sacrificing the user experience. Seem like a lot of work, right? Luckily, we have tools like Spring Boot with Spring Security that allows developers to incorporate authentication within apps effectively.
In this post, we’ll use Spring Boot with OAuth 2.0 to build a “Hello World” app and deploy it through AWS Elastic Beanstalk. We’ll also use Okta as the OAuth provider.
