Persistence Best Practices for Java Applications

Preface

A solid software architecture combines every building block required to bring a tech solution to life. In the early days of an application’s life, the design and practices are established: microservice or monolith architecture, event-driven approach, the integration and delivery application life cycle, containerization, and so on. Restricting the application side, especially in a Java context, frameworks and execution runtimes are also defined.
