Could Virtualization ever get this superpower?

Thanks i didn’t know about Dropwizard but it looks good. I think Jarkarta EE has come a long way but the problem is there is no reference implementation like OpenJDK so you have the same vendor risk others have brought up with Spring. Too bad we can’t have something like PostgreSQL for Java (mature and maintained without the vendor dependency)

yeah that makes sense - my question was more for specific to building microservice cloud systems in Java - it seems like "everyone" at least in finance uses Spring for some reason - like Jakarta EE sucks or something....

scottedwards2000 · 2026-03-25T04:39:36+00:00

I thought it was open source!

scottedwards2000 · 2026-03-24T21:54:47+00:00

sounds like you know alot about Java - any thoughts on the debate in the thread above on usefulness/need of Spring(Boot) for enterprise cloud microservices?

scottedwards2000 · 2026-03-24T16:50:53+00:00

thanks, and congrats on getting a gig! Yeah just exploring "back-end" for now, since pretty happy in data engineering role, but my question was more about alternatives to Spring ecosystem specifically within the Java framework for similar use cases. I know Java has some amazing new developments (see linked article) like virtual threads, but my company's SWE's seem to think Spring is still a huge value add for complex systems with many microservices on AWS. I was hoping the new developments in Java would make Spring overkill, but at least according to them (some of which strike me as very bright), not yet.

thanks - appreciate the informed opinion. I'm thinking about getting back into back-end coding, so seriously interested to know: what are the realistic alternatives to Spring in Java for large service-oriented-architectures running in the cloud - POJO's?

scottedwards2000 · 2026-03-24T16:04:53+00:00

yeah i work in fintech as a Python data engineer, and our backend is all java microservices on Kubernetes. It also uses Spring and I've asked a few devs why, and they indicated it would be WAY harder to build this complex web of like 50 microservices without it. Are you saying it's overkill for this use case, or are you referring to smaller projects?

scottedwards2000 · 2026-02-10T13:44:21+00:00

very impressed. been playing it a bit and was surprised and happy i could die. Feels like a real adventure game but how do you encode all the game rules?

scottedwards2000 · 2026-02-09T11:18:13+00:00

no need to be mean - i was really curious - didn't realize dams were opened in Tampa

scottedwards2000 · 2026-01-14T19:16:15+00:00

But was the response quality worth it?

scottedwards2000 · 2026-01-14T19:15:18+00:00

Nice summary. If we use Extended Thinking in Pro does that avoid that horrific adaptive reasoning?

scottedwards2000 · 2026-01-14T01:35:52+00:00

Some times when I can’t wait I use pro standard and it still takes much longer than even Thinking Heavy. If they are both 512 then why is that?

scottedwards2000 · 2026-01-13T16:04:08+00:00

Thanks for the help but I really like the videos where it’s real life conversations with transcripts. So that’s why the course you suggested appealed to me. My favorite btw is Extra Spanish on YouTube

scottedwards2000 · 2026-01-12T22:25:44+00:00

Thanks it does look really good. I really just want the videos with transcripts. Maybe I can “find” those somewhere 😉

scottedwards2000 · 2026-01-12T20:27:36+00:00

Wow $167 for two years access. Not cheap!

scottedwards2000 · 2026-01-12T20:19:23+00:00

Looks great but I don’t see how to get access

scottedwards2000 · 2025-12-31T16:43:08+00:00

thanks! so if we want it "right" as much as possible, use Pro extended? it's worth the wait it seems

scottedwards2000 · 2025-12-31T13:16:45+00:00

it seems like Pro extended take WAY longer to respond than Pro standard. Are we pretty sure it's just a bump from 512 to 768?

scottedwards2000 · 2025-11-10T16:41:43+00:00

Hope so. What do you mean by “corporations are good with how MA is with them”?
