With the recent proliferation of Java Virtual Machine (JVM) implementations, it’s difficult to know which implementation is the best for your use case. While proprietary vendors generally prefer Oracle Java, there are several open source options with different approaches and capabilities.  Given how the implementations vary in some underlying technical specifics, the “correct” JVM implementation […]

Java has been the go-to coding language for decades, but as advancements in big data processing continue to emerge, Java developers are forced to learn new skills and explore additional programming languages. That is especially true when developers start working with massive amounts of data and need more elegant solutions, faster. As an alternative to […]

The Apache Sling project just released the latest version of the Apache Sling Starter, version 11. This artifact is an aggregator of the modules making up Apache Sling and is used by many downstream applications as a basis for the “stable” version of the Apache Sling codebase.

Jörg Hoh recently wrote an interesting post on Content Architecture where he discussed how expensive JCR Queries could instead be replaced with targeted content structure traversals to allow finding relevant content without searching the whole AEM repository. Unfortunately, from a developer perspective, this means writing a fair amount of boilerplate code to traverse the AEM […]

This post describes some of the common considerations for developing microservices in Java and deploying the microservice on cloud containers offered by Google cloud (GCP), Amazon Web Services (AWS) and IBM cloud. 1.    Microservices Considerations a.     Organizational Considerations Organizations need to consider cultural changes that needed to support Micro-services ownership i.e. principle of product and […]

A clean, elegant code base goes a long way. It helps developers read and modify the code, sets a good foundation for future development, reduces technical debts and maintenance overhead, makes code easier to unit test, follows best practices, and much more. This still holds true in the Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) world. However, many […]

Concurrency issues are both disastrous and difficult to detect in non-production loads. They are more difficult to reproduce than most bugs because they specifically rely on multiple operations happening at/around the same time, which is difficult to reproduce in a development or local environment. Since concurrency bugs are hard to find and diagnose, we should […]

Sitecore 9 is out we are all excited to jump in and start using the latest and greatest. So let’s jump in and setup for an XP0 Sitecore installation on our local development machine! George Chang, another Perficient Sitecore MVP, put out a great blog post on How to install Sitecore 9 with the Sitecore Install Framework […]

Though APIs have been used for decades, they are turning into the Micro level to fit more frequent changes and decoupling requirements. In recent years, one thing that we have been seeing is a transition from monolithic applications to microservice‑oriented architecture. Out of several API designing and building tools, we would talk about one of […]

Eventually the Java Standard Edition 9 was released along with J2EE 8 after a long wait. This news is not overwhelming in the media report like other exciting technologies of artificial intelligence, cloud etc. However, per the recent programming language ranking report, Java is still one of the most popular languages. In http://statisticstimes.com, for both […]
