This blog is for me a platform to share my knowledge in the area of software development. Main focus will be about the Java ecosystem, because that is where my expertise lies.
In this post, we will take a look at how we can make services be aware of each other without knowing their exact location. We will make use of Eureka Server which will act as a Discovery Server. Being Spring fans, we will do so by means of Spring Eureka.

In a previous post, we talked about how we can check our Docker images for any known vulnerabilities by means of Anchore Engine. This still required a manual action. Wouldn’t it be great if we could incorporate Anchore Engine into our Jenkins CI build job or pipeline? In this post, we will take a look at how we can accomplish this by means of the Anchore Container Image Scanner Jenkins Plugin.

In the first part of this post, we explained the Performance Diagnostic Methodology (PDM) and how to use it. But, the proof of the pudding is in the eating and therefore it is now time to apply the methodology. Of course, the best proof would be to apply the methodology to a real world performance issue, but instead of waiting for that, we will try to simulate some performance issues and verify whether the methodology can work.

Last June I saw an interesting conference talk at J-Spring given by Martijn Verburg (from jClarity) about the Performance Diagnostic Methodology (PDM), a structured approach in order to find the root cause of Java performance problems. In this post I will try to highlight the key concepts but I do recommend watching a recording of the talk from Devoxx UK. In the next part of this post, we will try to apply the theory to some problem applications.
