In modern application architecture and development, there has been a push from monolithic applications towards microservices. This has made microservices frameworks (micro-frameworks) very popular since they make it easier to prototype, design and build microservices applications. Spring Boot and Quarkus are both very popular microservices frameworks for building cloud native Java applications.

At its most basic level, DevOps—a combination of development and operations—refers to a set of practices that streamline application development at every stage, from building and testing to deploying and monitoring.

We live in a world that is increasingly digital and data-driven. We have wearable devices to monitor our steps, heart rate, and sleep quality. We have Alexa, Siri, or Google ready to take our shopping orders, play our playlist, share the latest news. We can see what shows are trending on Netflix and curated suggestions for us based on what we watched. We cannot get away from data. Where does data live? Who has access to them? What do they do with them?
