best technologies & tools

“Superstar developer”
Writes all the “boring plumbing code”:
Production grade, all layers
What is it?

Full applications with front-end & back-end

Open-source Java application generator
No mobile apps

Generates complete application with user Create it by running wizard or import

management, tests, continuous integration, application configuration from JHipster
deployment & monitoring Domain Language (JDL) file

Import data model from JDL file

Generates CRUD front-end & back-end for our
entities
Re-import after JDL file changes

Re-generates application & entities with new

JHipster version
What does it do?

Overwriting your own code changes can be

painful!
Microservices & Container
Updates application
Receive security patches or framework
Fullstack Developer updates (like Spring Boot)

Shift Left Sometimes switches out library: yarn => npm,

JavaScript test libraries, Webpack => Angular

On-Site training How does it look with our data?

Consultants SQL has more annotations and different data

type for “id”
SQL vs NoSQL: Entities
Run code
NoSQL not so different from SQL!
How can we learn?
Outdated
Angular separates presentation code to
template, uses standard HTML tags
Incomplete Problems
Angular vs React
React mixes business logic & presentation
Expensive (consultant, training) code to template, doesn’t use standard HTML
tags
