We can use SonarQube to analyse all or only selected modules from our multi-module application built with Maven. Let’s configure an existing Angular module so that we can see a full SonarQube analysis for an example SpringBoot-Angular project.
Most fake data providers offer a wide variety of default generators and the ability to add custom definitions to them. However, ease of customization is not always a top priority in their architecture. Fortunately, one of the most important features of Dummy4j is the ability to easily extend the generator and provide custom definitions.
Reliable sets of automatically generated data enhance project testing and development. If your application has to handle non ASCII characters or support multiple languages, it is beneficial to consider those requirements when providing fake data.
Having a sufficient sample of lifelike data greatly improves the application development process. In most cases, when we start working on a project, we don’t have the luxury of having a well-stocked database we could use in development and testing. However, we can easily create such a database using a random data generator.
Learn how to generate documentation for your Spring Boot application using Springfox Boot Starter. This article extends the Spring Boot API documentation with Swagger post.
Identifying the unassigned shards in Elasticsearch and finding the reason why a shard can’t be allocated is critical when we want to get rid of the “NoShardAvailableActionException: No shard available” warning. Additionally, the Elasticsearch APIs also provide helpful hints pointing to the possible cause of this issue.
Including Grafana in a monitoring stack allows us to effectively keep an eye on an application status. Project monitoring becomes much easier once we add an advanced analysing platform to display collected data in a rich set of charts. We can easily set up Grafana on our development environment using Docker Compose to test the tool.
We don’t have to manually configure data sources and dashboards for Grafana. Thanks to the Grafana provisioning feature, we can use configuration files to set up everything before running the application for the first time.
SonarQube is a well known, high quality tool utilized by many prominent companies such as Audible, Porsche, Bosch, and HP for advanced code analysis. However, you can easily use it for free to see what can be done to improve project security and reduce maintenance costs. One way to do that is to install a local copy on your development environment.
Prometheus is an open-source platform used to collect metrics from applications. You can easily apply it to monitor your Spring Boot project and scrape the Actuator /prometheus endpoint.
