  • Relearning Java Thread Primitives
    1 project | dev.to | 11 Apr 2023
    I’ve coded in Java since the first beta, even back then threads were at the top of my list of favorite features. Java was the first language to introduce thread support in the language itself, it was a controversial decision back then. In the past decade, every language raced to include async/await and even Java had some third-party support for that… But Java zigged instead of zagging and introduced the far superior virtual threads (project Loom). This post isn’t about that.

  • Managing Cluster Membership with Etcd
    7 projects | dev.to | 31 Mar 2021
    Given our new functionality to update the membership list, we can create a new test case where two nodes join the cluster and expect that to be reflected in the local state of each node eventually. Thanks to the Awaitility DSL we can conveniently wait for the eventual update to happen.

    Nota: para los que no la conozcáis, await es un operador de awaitility, muy útil para validación de resultados en procesos asíncronos.
