What does the future hold for Java?
To better align with the tech stack at my new job, I’ve been reacquainting myself over the last two weeks with an old friend: Java. Not too long ago, it kickstarted my software career with unmatched zeal and vigor. This journey lasted for roughly two-and-a-half years but soon diminished with the advent of containers and microservices. Fast-forward to today, and it’s been three years now since I last wrote any serious Java code. And in all honesty, I never expected it to see it again — especially in the microservices landscape.
So, what happened? The answer is simple: The pervasive wave of microservices engulfed us.
All of these factors prompted us to question the efficacy of Java (more specifically, JVM), not to mention its most notorious framework, Spring.
