Spring Boot API Testing: A Practical Guide for Enterprise Teams

Enterprise Spring Boot APIs should be tested at three levels: unit tests for business logic, integration tests for external service behavior, and traffic replay for production edge cases. Most teams only do the first. This guide shows all three using a real Spring Boot application that calls external APIs (SpaceX, US Treasury) with JWT authentication. The kind of service that looks simple in development and breaks in production.

Debugging Encrypted Microservice Traffic with Speedscale's eBPF Collector

Production bugs that only reproduce in actual traffic can be some of the most frustrating bugs in software development. You can stare at your logs, add traces to your code, add instrumentation – and still not be able to see the actual requests that went over the wire. And that gets even harder when the requests are encrypted and the system is a black box. You can use tools like Wireshark or Kubeshark to capture the requests.

Data Sovereignty: What Infrastructure Leaders Must Know

Data sovereignty refers to the principle that data is subject to the laws and governance of the country in which it is stored or processed. Put simply: where your data lives determines who has jurisdiction over it. This isn’t a new concept, but the urgency around it has intensified significantly. The geopolitical climate has pushed governments to treat data infrastructure as a strategic national asset. The EU has GDPR with strict cross-border transfer restrictions.

What does investigation look like when data lives in multiple tools?

War rooms don’t fix fragmentation. They expose it. Incident hits. App checks traces. Infra checks hosts. Cloud checks dashboards. Network checks packets. Everyone sees their layer. No one sees the system. So we guess. Rollback. Add capacity. Freeze change. The noise stops. The constraint doesn’t. Modern failures don’t live in tools. They live in dependencies. If your platform can’t follow a transaction across hybrid and AI infrastructure — to the exact constraint — you don’t have observability.

Agent vs. Agentless: What is better for Infrastructure Management?

The “agent vs agentless” debate usually comes up when teams are trying to choose an infrastructure automation approach that will not compromise security, compliance, or impact day-to-day operations. You need to manage a hybrid estate, avoid creating more work for already stretched teams, and ideally do it without stitching together multiple tools. That pressure often turns the conversation into a binary choice: which approach is better?
