Property-based Testing with “fast-check”

It isn’t exactly news that developers have to write not only code but also tests. Nevertheless, many find this to be burdensome and monotonous work.

Container-Images mit Buildpacks erzeugen

Im Rahmen dieser Kolumne habe ich mich schon häufiger auch mit Containern und Docker beschäftigt. Obwohl es sich hierbei weder um ein Java- noch um ein direktes Entwicklungsthema handelt, ist es für viele Projekte von hoher Relevanz. Schließlich spielt heute auch der Betrieb von Anwendungen für die meisten Entwicklungsteams eine hohe Rolle und dieser nutzt aktuell in vielen Fällen Container. Hier wollen wir uns mit Buildpacks eine weitere Möglichkeit im Detail anschauen, um zu einem Container-Image zu gelangen.
