🚀 OJP CI just got stronger We’ve extended the OJP CI pipeline to run automated integration tests against GlassFish (Jakarta EE) using our existing shopservice demo — now alongside Spring Boot, Quarkus, and Micronaut. linkedin.com/posts/open-j-p…

Java is one of the best languages for AI-assisted coding. Not because it’s trendy — but because LLMs learn from patterns, and Java has decades of consistent, structured, real-world code. Better patterns → better predictions → better code. 👉 shorturl.at/pDBxl

Java ❤️

The goal behind OJP remains the same: a database-agnostic proxy designed for modern Java systems. Feedback from Java developers, DBAs, platform engineers, and SRE teams is very welcome. #Java #OpenSource #SpringBoot #Databases #DistributedSystems #Observability #JDBC #DevOps

🔐 Mutual TLS (mTLS) — secure communication between the JDBC driver and OJP server. 🧪 TestContainers Integration — run OJP inside Docker during integration tests. 🧵 Java 21 Improvements — virtual threads used internally for background tasks.

📖 @JAVAPROmagazin has just published my article about Open J Proxy 0.4.0-beta, which was released on 13 March 2026. 👉 Article: shorturl.at/RDhJl Follow the thread...

@utsxvrai Temporal requires its own server infrastructure. It is designed for large-scale, long-running workflows. durable-flow is a lightweight database-backed saga orchestrator that runs directly inside a Java application using only a relational database for coordination.

@rrobetti This reminds me a lot of Temporal, durable workflow orchestration with persisted state and retries. How's it different?

Many backend workflows look simple: validate → save → charge → notify But crashes and partial failures make them tricky. Did the payment go through? Should we retry? Will we double charge? I’ve been exploring this problem with a small Java library: durable-flow. Thread ↓

Conceptually this is a database-backed Saga orchestrator. It’s similar to the Outbox pattern but generalized to multi-step workflows. I wrote a short article explaining the architecture and a Spring Boot example: shorturl.at/sCEgF

Steps are coordinated using database leases. Workers attempt a conditional update to claim a step. If a node crashes, the lease expires and another node resumes the work. This avoids XA transactions and external workflow infrastructure.

When giving a task to AI via a prompt, always give this command at the end: Let me know what questions, suggestions, concerns, and opinions you have. It will change the quality of the responses dramatically! You're welcome! ;)
