Beware of Spring Boot Actuator Endpoint env: A Security Alert

As a developer, securing your applications should be a top priority. One area that often goes unnoticed in Spring Boot applications is the Actuator env endpoint. In this blog post, we will explore the potential security issues associated with this endpoint and provide tips on how to mitigate these risks.

Spring Observability: The Next Frontier in Application Monitoring

In the evolving landscape of software development, observability has emerged as a crucial aspect of maintaining and improving application performance. Historically, developers relied on third-party libraries like Micrometer and Micrometer Tracing to achieve observability in their Spring applications. However, with the release of Spring 6 and Spring Boot 3, observability has been elevated to a first-class citizen within the framework itself.

Spring AI: Revolutionizing Backend Development with AI Integration

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technology, artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a futuristic concept — it’s a present reality that’s transforming how we build and interact with software. For backend engineers, integrating AI into applications has often been a complex and time-consuming task. Enter Spring AI, a revolutionary framework designed to simplify and accelerate AI integration in Spring Boot applications. In this post, we will explore what Spring AI is, its key features including boot auto configuration support, the AIs it supports, and how you can get started with some code examples. We’ll also touch on core AI concepts like prompts and tokens and share the development roadmap for Spring AI.

Testing the Integration Layer of Your Spring Boot Application with Testcontainers and MockServer

In modern microservices architectures, robust and reliable integration testing is crucial to ensure seamless communication between services. Integration tests verify that different parts of the application work together as expected. This blog post will dive into how to effectively test the integration layer of your Spring Boot application using Testcontainers and MockServer, two powerful tools that simplify and enhance the testing process.

Understanding the Differences Between @Controller and @RestController Annotations

In the world of Spring Framework, particularly in Spring MVC, @Controller and @RestController are two annotations that play crucial roles in defining endpoints and handling HTTP requests. While both are used for building web applications, they serve slightly different purposes and have distinctive behaviors. Let’s delve into the nuances of each annotation to better comprehend their functionalities and use cases.
