- Digging into Hibernate’s Query Cache
-
I haven’t used Hibernate for a long time, and I haven’t blogged about it for even longer. Recently, I was working on a blog post in the context of my job on setting up an evergreen cache. When I was coding the demo, I faced some issue regarding Hibernate’s Query Cache: it didn’t work as I expected it to. Finally, after some time, I managed to fix the issue.
This post aims to dig deeper into Hibernate’s Query Cache in order to help fellow developpers confronted with the same issue.

I had a quite different experience, but the context is very different as well: I didn’t earn that much money and I didn’t spend as much time.
- 13 Ways to Optimize Docker Builds
-
Posts on optimizing builds are of uneven qualities but this one is pretty good:
- Use Multistage Builds
- Minimize Layers
- Use Minimal Base Images: Lightweight base images, like alpine, are preferable for minimizing image layers and overall size. However, always ensure your application is compatible with such images, as some libraries or commands may behave differently on lightweight systems.
- Leverage the Build Cache
- Clean Up Temporary Files
- Use .dockerignore
- Pin Base Image Versions
- Optimize Dependency Management
- Organize Dockerfile in Layers (Inverted Pyramid)
- Use Cache Mount with BuildKit
- Scan Images for Vulnerabilities
- Use Smaller Base Images
- Set Resource Limits
- Reuse Common Layers with a Base Image

Can we enable anyone to create or adapt software for themselves, using AI and a fully-managed runtime?
GitHub is the first major actor to offer an app to generate apps. I signed up, let’s see how it goes.

It can be super useful to avoid:

While lots of companies migrate from MySQL to PostgreSQL, Yelp did it the other way for a single app. Never underestimate the benefits of using the standard company’s stack.

- It’s great that people do their own benchmark and publish them
