A step-by-step build guide for a from-scratch caching library inspired by Google Guava’s cache. You’ll implement LRU eviction, TTL expiration, concurrent access, and observability — a CV project that signals real distributed-systems engineering skill.
A practical guide to wiring Resilience4j circuit breakers and retry strategies into Java services, ensuring graceful degradation under failure.
How modern concurrent collectors like G1 and ZGC use the tri-color invariant to do most of their work without stopping your threads, and the JVM flags you actually need in production.
How to design Kafka Streams topologies that survive real production workloads — covering topology shapes, state store sizing, exactly-once semantics, and the failure modes that bite at scale.
Explore how tri‑color marking powers low‑pause concurrent collectors, see concrete architecture diagrams, and learn production‑grade heap management tricks.
