A hands-on guide to the Model Context Protocol (MCP) with Spring AI 2.0. Build an MCP server that exposes payment tools over SSE, then a separate AI client that discovers and invokes them — zero tool definitions on the client side.
A hands-on guide to Spring AI tool calling (function calling). Learn how to let LLMs invoke your Java methods — check order status, query databases, call APIs — with type-safe arguments, automatic JSON schema generation, and full control over execution.
Build an agentic AI application with Spring AI 2.0 where the model autonomously plans and executes multi-step tool chains. Covers the agentic loop, system prompt as orchestrator, streaming responses via SSE, and safety guardrails — with a complete travel planning agent example.
Build a complete full-stack application with React frontend and Spring Boot backend. Covers JWT authentication, CORS configuration, Axios interceptors, protected routes, and the development workflow for serving both from one project.
An honest side-by-side comparison of Quarkus and Spring Boot in 2026. Covers startup time, memory usage, developer experience, ecosystem, native compilation, and when to choose which — from someone who uses both.
Go beyond the changelog. Master Java 21's most impactful features with real-world usage patterns: Records for DTOs, Sealed Classes for domain modeling, Pattern Matching for clean conditionals, and Switch Expressions for expressive logic.
Build a production CI/CD pipeline for Spring Boot with GitHub Actions. Covers build + test, Docker image publishing, Kubernetes deployment, environment secrets, caching for fast builds, and branch protection strategies.
Master Docker Compose for Spring Boot development. Covers service definitions, health checks, volume mounts, networking, environment variables, profiles, Spring Boot Docker Compose integration, and patterns used across 20+ companion repositories.
Honest reflections on the transition from senior developer to tech lead. Covers the mindset shift, common traps, delegation, technical decision-making, mentoring, and the skills no one tells you about.
A practical guide to building a developer portfolio that stands out. Covers GitHub profile optimization, project selection, README quality, blogging strategy, and how to present technical depth — based on building 26 repos and 50 blog posts in a weekend.
