Linux Terminal Goods III

This is the third post about some awesome and productivity console apps for Linux. So you might check it out the second and the first post if you haven't checked yet. More is more folks are doing remote work. For sake of safety everybody needs to #StayAtHome but besides the COVID-19 working for home is much more productivity anyways. So if you work with engineering, architecture or is DevOps engineering you can take more advantage of your Linux terminal. So I won't share more useful tools I'm using every day with you guys. The terminal is much more productive than using a mouse, for instance, that's most of the people know, however not everybody know all the good and awesome terminal apps that are out there so sharing is caring. Let's get started!





FX

FX is a terminal tool and console viewer for Json. I also use a lot of JQ. FX is also an interesting option.


How2

How2 is an amazing tool. You can type what you need todo and how2 will give you the commands and the instructions.


Cloc

Cloc is a cool tool for engineers if you are doing a core review or just want to know how big a codebase is - cloc is the tool for you.


Dust

Dust is an amazing tool that displays the directory sizes, not only for cleaning up but also for discovery, there is an awesome interactive mode as well and written in rust.


Starship

Starship is great. IF you spend a great part of your day using terminal and love contextual information - Starship is the tool for you. It's customizable and super fast, also written in Rust.



I hope you guys like it. Happy hacking with your tuned Linux terminal!

Cheers,

Kafka Streams with Java 15

Image
Kafka Streams is a Streaming library similar to Spark and Flink which works with Apache Kafka. Kafka stream can be useful to process historical and near-real-time big data workloads but also for non-realtime analytical computations at scale for the online world as well. Kafka-Streams is elastic, highly scalable, fault-tolerant, and fully integrated with Kafka. You can use Kafka Stream with Java, Scala, Kotlin JVM applications and also have exactly-once processing semantics. Kafka-Streams is being used by the New York Times, Pinterest, Line, Trivago, Zalando, and many other companies. Today I want to share a video of Kafka-Streams running with Kafka 2.6 and Java JDK 15. So Let's get started.

Rust and Java Interoperability

Image
Rust does not stop for one second to amaze me. It looks like Rust was designed to talk to every other language so easily. No kidding, it's clear way Web Assembly and rust have lots in common. Java is never an easy lang to interop with. Today I will show how easily we can interop Java & Rust. In order to do so, we will need to use the Java and Rust compilers. For Java, we will not require any other lib than the standard JDK. For Rust, we will need to create a lib project in cargo and we will need to use the crate JNI. I love this feature because java does not allow low-level code on the main language. So if we need to do something low level, efficiently Rust is my first choice, not only for safety reasons but because is really fast.  Let's get started.

HMAC in Java

Image
In 2018 AWS CTO(Vogels) said : "Security is everyone's job". For the last 2 years, there was so many famous and big data leaks and breaks that made that statement be very true more than ever. Security often could mean worst performance and worst user experience so in order to get it right you really need to think about the designs before jumping into to code and consider performance and user experience has main requirements.  I was thinking about writing about how to do HMAC in Java for a while and recently Redis 6.0.0 come out and to my surprise, there was a refactoring on the password part in order to use HMAC.  Security easily could scare engineers often because it is not something well spread yet but I believe this will change soon. It does not matter if you have to deal with PII Data or not, security is super relevant because everybody is running their workloads at the cloud or with IoT and Edge devices which means more distribution, more code, more points of fail
