Deliver amazing user experience for WEB Introduction Progressive Web Apps  (PWA) are user experience that reach for web. Its useful to users from the very first visit with no installation required. As the user spends more time with the web app it becomes more and more powerful, It loads quickly even on slower networks. Can have offline support, push notification, icon on home screen, full screen support. PWA are: Reliable -  load instantly even on slower/uncertain network. Fast - Respond quickly to user interactions Engaging - Feel like natural app on device with amazing user experience. Reliable When launched from the user’s home screen, service workers enable a Progressive Web App to load instantly, regardless of the network state. A service worker, written in JavaScript, is like a client-side proxy and puts you in control of the cache and how to respond to resource requests. By pre-caching key resources you can eliminate the dependence on the...

“ MongoDB is an open source, document oriented NoSQL database where data is represented & stored in the form of BSON(binary JSON) ”  Following is a key value representation of data in JSON format and its corresponding BS ON.It adds some "extra" information to documents, like length of string and sub-objects. This makes traversal faster. // JSON file    { "hello" : "world" } // BSON file "\x16\x00\x00\x00\x02hello\x00 \x06\x00\x00\x00world\x00\x00"   \x16\x00\x00\x00 // total document size \x02 // 0x02 = type String hello\x00 // field name \x06\x00\x00\x00world\x00 // field value \x00 // 0x00 = type end of object   With the growing use of Social Media platforms, large chunks of unstructured data was created .Thus, a need to to persist this unstructured data in th...

Java 8 Lambda Expression What is lambda expression ? In mathematics and computing generally, a lambda expression is a function for some or all combinations of input values it specifies an output value. Lambda expressions in Java introduce the idea of functions into the language. In conventional Java terms lambdas can be understood as a kind of anonymous method with a more compact syntax that also allows the omission of modifiers, return type, and in some cases parameter types as well. The problem of bulky syntax is refereed as “ Vertical Problem ” by Java people and Java 8 provides a Lambda expression to gives a very simple yet powerful functional programming capability to Java. Functional Interface Functional interfaces have a single functionality to exhibit. An interface which has only one abstract method is called functional interface. For example, a Comparable interface with a single method ‘compareTo’ is used for comparison purpose. Java 8 has defined a lot of function...

Zuul to Proxy your Microservices A common challenge when building  microservices  is providing a unified interface to the consumers of your system. The fact that your services are split into small  composable   apps shouldn’t be visible to users or result in substantial development effort. To solve this problem,  Netflix  created and open- sourced  its  Zuul   proxy  server.  Zuul  is an edge service that  proxies  requests to multiple backing services. It is “front door” to your system, which allows a browser, mobile  app , or other user interface to consume services from multiple hosts without managing cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) and authentication for each one. Spring Cloud  has created an  embedded Zuul proxy  to ease the development of a very common use case where a UI application wants to proxy calls to one or more back end services. This feature is useful for a user in...

The idea about this post is show some concept of  Load Balancing  & Circuit Breaker  using Spring Cloud Netflix API. Load Balancing Load Balancing automatically distributes incoming application traffic between number of nodes running for given application. Ribbon  : This provide client side load balancing. Its component offers a good set of configuration options such as connection timeouts, retries, retry algorithm  etc. Strategies offered by ribbon are listed below: Simple Round Robin LB Weighted Response Time LB Zone Aware Round Robin LB Random LB Circuit Breaker pattern Netflix’s Hystrix library provides an implementation of the Circuit Breaker pattern: when we apply a circuit breaker to a method, Hystrix watches for failing calls to that method, and if failures build up to a threshold, Hystrix opens the circuit so that subsequent calls automatically fail. While the circuit is open, Hystrix redirects calls to the metho...
