This was one of the features that I was waiting for months. Google Cloud Run is really easy to use, and I consider it production worthy, especially for small projects! Up until now, the scheduled container if it was not accepting any request, it was being suspended (similar to what happens to λ on aws, for those that …

It's been years that I have moved over to Gitlab for my personal projects. I still use Github at work and lately I am being intrigued by Github Actions (which kind of came late to the party, but then again it's a really nice feature, much needed). So while on Gitlab, I was wondering what is there for me (free account) …

I have been using Micronaut for the past year. It is always refreshing to learn something new, deep-diving into Micronaut was a nice change. it's a solid framework, I think it has a future and will gain momentum, my guess is that through time will attract a lot of Spring oriented developers. Being an early adopter …

it's been some months now that I have been using the Logictech MX Keys keyboard. I wanted to give it some time, but the fact that some of my friends bought it as well, and they are also satisfied, validates the fact that it deserves a good review. For my day-to-day work, I have been using a Topre - Realforce …

More to come on future posts but for now I can tell that I am amazed by the quality of the Slack Java SDK called Bolt. In this post I want to share a very simple Gitlab-CI pipeline that I use for building and deploying my toy …

For many years now I have been using artifactlistener to get updates on my mailbox on new releases or libraries and project that I use at work or on personal projects. It is a very decent service, and I still use it. These were times that things like dependabot were still not a thing :) + I was mostly interested on the …

I have been working on a small personal project during these days (a silly slack bot). Usually I try to mix and match technologies that I am using at work, with stuff that I really enjoy, and I have a very strong opinion. So I get to improve on stuff that I don't necessarily enjoy using day to day :P with stuff that I …

) As you can imagine this post is all about flying, well simulator kind of flying. I have decided to kill some time on DCS World during this pandemic. I have been trying to improve as a pilot and fighter in general but obviously I was not taking it very seriously. The thing with a simulator like DCS is that you need …

I remember the old days when I used to collect HD wallpapers. Spending hours and hours on different sites (do you remember devianart) , trying to find stuff that I like and making sure this wallpapers folder was always backed-up. I had multiple copies of it on CDs and then DVDs and then somewhere online. It is kind of …
