As a professional software engineer, consultant, architect, general problem solver, I've been practicing the software craft for more than fifteen years and I'm still learning something new every day. I love sharing the things I learned, so you (and future me) can get a head start. That's why I founded reflectoring.io.

Accessing a Spring Data REST API with Feign
Spring Data REST is a framework that automatically exposes a REST API for Spring Data repositories, thus potentially saving a lot of manual programming work.
- Spring Boot
Handling Associations Between Entities with Spring Data REST
Spring Data Rest allows to rapidly create a REST API to manipulate and query a database by exposing Spring Data repositories via its @RepositoryRestResource annotation.

Serializing LocalDate to JSON in Spring Boot
Today, I stumbled (once again) over LocalDate in a Spring Boot application. LocalDate came with Java 8 and is part of the new standard API in Java for working with dates.
- Node
Locking transitive Dependencies with NPM
As a developer I am lazy. I don’t build everything by myself because others have done it already. So, when I come upon a problem someone has already solved and that someone put that solution into some library, I simply pull that library into my own - I declare a dependency to that library.

A Checklist for setting up a Java-based Software Architecture
I recently had the opportunity to propose the architecture for a new large-scale software project. While it’s fun being paid for finding the technologies that best fit to the customer’s requirements (of which only a fraction is available at the time, of course), it may also be daunting having to come up with a solution that is future-proof and scales with expectations.

Tool-based Database Refactoring: Flyway vs. Liquibase
In a previous blog post I discussed the term “database refactoring” and some concepts that allow database refactoring to be supported by tools with the result of having a database schema that is versioned just like your software is.
