Back to Basics: Crafting Quality Software in the Age of Complexity
summary
Keeps it concrete: a sample Quarkus Java microservice (sticker catalog) uses Spotless (Google Java format) and ErrorProne to auto-fix/style and catch trivial bugs, Dependabot/SCA + Sonar track vulnerable deps, and CodeQL queries plus Snyk flag SQL/URL injection flows. ArchUnit enforces layering and tech governance (one ArchUnit test immediately fails when Hibernate slips in), auto-instrumented OpenTelemetry traces reveal request-level failures, and continuous profiling (JFR-style sampling) ties flame graphs to releases so performance regressions and CPU waste become measurable and preventable.
