In this post, we shall catch up on the multi-faceted technological updates that happened over the past week as well as a few that seized my attention,
Rust with Java Illustration

Microservices using shared memory for interservice communication and data processing, to speed up the processing between multiple services and achieve low latency with high throughput, creating a Virtual memory that offers shared memory space residing in the local disk for the services to leverage.
The Chronicle library facilitates creating the memory region of the heap on a file for virtual memory and debugging the file with readable YAML format.
The feature of the memory map file has been available since JDK4, FileChannel.map + MapMode.READ_WRITE = MappedByteBuffer (not thread safe)
Other places for improvement are,
1) Thread safe access
2) Long offsets (64-bit)
3) Complex UTF-8 operations
4) Growing vs. Sparse files

Project Panama:
JDK14 - Foreign memory access API
JDK16 - Foreign Linker API
JDK17 - Foreign function & memory API
JDK19 - Preview stage (move away from JNI)

PriorityQueue achieves time complexity notation of logarithmic for enqueuing and dequeuing by the data structure implementation of Balanced Binary Heap.
Other operations namely, linear time for search and constant time for retrievals.
The FIFO ordering is based on the Comparator specification or natural ordering during the queue instance creation.
Custom ordering is facilitated by a comparable interface implementation.
To achieve thread-safe operations PriorityBlockingQueue should be capitalized on.

Virtual threads are mounted onto Platform threads (that are OS threads) while execution and if there is a blocking logic, it is unmounted and the next Virtual thread becomes available for mounting and processing.

The Streams reduce() is a terminal function returning accumulated value on a given BiFunction operation.
There is also an overloaded function that takes in a combiner, which applies the accumulator value to each stream data producing a return value. 
The distinction is when the stream is sequential or parallel, in parallel processing each thread produces a partial result making it evident for a combiner definition.

From JDBC, EntityBeans, and Hibernate, a standard specification was emanated offering benefits on,
Better SQL exception handling,
Caching,
Flexible SQL statement via nativeQueries,
Locking,
Hierarchical DTO projections 

Step-by-step transition from Java to Rust

Now from JDK21 with the new interface SequencedCollection extending the Collection interface and is also extended by the List, SortedSet via SequencedSet (for reversal operation), Deque. The SequencedMap interface extends the Map interface by providing the below me

Microservices - Design Patterns

Topic: Software Design                                                                                                        Level: Intermediate Microservices - What? Microservice is a software design methodology, delegated to perform an isolated decoupled single functionality (following the Single-Responsibility Principle from object-oriented SOLID design principles).  Moreover, microservices by design, are decoupled making it easy to develop, test, maintain, deploy, configure, monitor and scale modules independently. Microservices - Why? Having one microservice would not be helpful without it being able to interact with other microservices, to aid in bringing an end-to-end business solution. So arises a question, how can I design a software system that is resilient, decentralized, fault-tolerant, scalable, maintainable, and extensible that complies with the microservice architecture? Design Patterns - What? Design patterns are solutions for commonly occurring problems within a given
