Linux Terminal Goods V

It's time for a new kick-ass console application to boost your productivity. The tools can be useful both for engineering productivity on your local workstation/laptop or doing some remote pair programming but also for the cloud as you profiling or debugging something. So if you did not check it out the other 4 posts please check it out here: I, II, III, IV. So like Bruce Buffer would say it Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit's time! Linux Terminal Goods V!


Diskonaut

Kubernetes and Docker are great, however, time to time the fill your 500GB HDD.So In order to save space, please don't delete your Steam games. Use diskonaut and figure out the big files and delete them pretty sweet and easy.

Httpstat

Latency can be a Bitch sometimes. Httpstat helps you to figure it out. :-) 

Delta

This is not an air company. However delta helo you to figure out Diffs pretty on the fly. There is even a github like a template so you even will forget that you are in a terminal. 

Webify

Sometimes you want to test things pretty dirty and easy, other times you want just to have fun, mostly if you just want to have fun, check it out webify. It all any BASH command or script be turned into a web server. So let's pretend it's secure and just have a good time with Webify.  

Ranger

ls can be deprecated now. There is something much cooler and with a badass name that's Ranger. Ranger allows you to navigate thought the file system via terminal and open vim at the end. 

That's it for today! 

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
