Sharing Java developer knowledge, practical articles, and continuous insights into computer engineering.
This article explains the root causes of TCP sticky and half‑packet issues, designs a length‑field message protocol and a generic decoder, provides complete Java NIO code for a mini Netty framework, and discusses its startup process and current limitations.
This article explains how to overcome the single‑threaded bottleneck of Java NIO by introducing a Boss‑Worker architecture, detailing the design of multiple Selectors, thread binding, client implementation, performance considerations, and provides complete open‑source code examples.
This article explains what network programming is, why it matters beyond HTTP, compares BIO and NIO models, dives into Java NIO's design with selectors, channels, and ByteBuffer methods, provides full server/client code examples, and shows how Netty simplifies high‑performance networking.
This article explains Git’s true decentralized architecture, details how repositories store snapshots, shows step‑by‑step how to create a private bare Git server, configure SSH keys for multiple accounts, and automate deployment with hooks and CI/CD scripts.
This article walks through creating a self‑hosted object storage solution by configuring Nginx for static file serving, implementing secure downloads with X‑Accel‑Redirect and signed URLs, and deploying MinIO as an S3‑compatible service, complete with Spring Boot integration and sample code.
This article explains the fundamentals of Java NIO, showing how to use Channels and ByteBuffer to efficiently read, write, and manipulate large files, including memory‑mapped files and RandomAccessFile alternatives, with clear code examples and step‑by‑step guidance.
This article explains the fundamentals of Java I/O streams, showing how to efficiently read, write, copy, delete, move, and inspect both text and binary files using NIO, Buffered streams, and modern APIs, while providing ready‑to‑use code examples.
The article explains how Maven's default resource filtering corrupts binary .p12 certificates during packaging, causing Spring Boot startup failures, and provides a step‑by‑step solution using dual resource configurations and best practices for handling binary files in Java backend projects.
This article walks through the differences between plain HTTP, HTTPS one‑way authentication, and mutual TLS, detailing the TCP handshake, TLS handshakes, certificate creation, file‑type conventions, and practical security considerations for developers and engineers.
This article walks you through practical Nginx configurations covering reverse‑proxy load balancing, static resource handling, cache control, version hiding, JSON‑formatted logging, rate‑limiting, IP restrictions, gray‑release traffic splitting, security headers and DNS anti‑spoofing, with ready‑to‑use code examples.
