How to Build Java Applications Today?

 

 

Java Developers Pick More Technologies & Tools More Often

Are you confused as well? Life has gotten harder for us Java developers:

• Shift-left testing and DevOps have taken hold. So we now worry about testing, running, and supporting our applications.
• Microservices free us to choose different technology stacks for our Java back-ends.
• Front-ends were once part of our Java applications. Now we build separate front-end applications. That’s Single Page Applications (SPA) for the web and mobile apps on iOS & Android.
• We can replace components in our environments with cloud components. Then cloud vendors worry about coding, testing, running, and supporting them. So we can subsitute our time for money!
• We have more alternatives. There are many Java distributions, Spring has competition again, and NoSQL can store our data. And in web and mobile, tools & technologies always develop at a breakneck speed.
• The update speed has increased: Where a new major Java version came out every 3-5 years, now it’s every six months! Typescript even releases 4-6 versions a year.

So yes, we Java developers do pick more technologies & tools more often today. So which do we pick to build Java applications?
