Running integration tests with surefire in integration-test phase

The Maven Failsafe Plugin is a fork of the Maven Surefire Plugin designed to help when running integration tests. However, sometimes you may want to use Surefire for integration testing. The situation may be even more complicated if have unit tests and integration tests in the same module. The solution isn’t very pretty but it’s still quite short and understandable…

Micro services on the JVM part 1 – Clojure

Micro services could be a buzzword of 2014 for me. Few months ago I was curious to try Dropwizard framework as a separate backend, but didn’t get the whole idea yet. But then I watched a mind-blowing “Micro-Services Architecture” talk by Fred George. Also, the 4.0 release notes of Spring covers microservices as an important rising trend as well. After 10 years of having SOA in mind, but still developing monoliths, it’s a really tempting idea to try to decouple systems into a set of independently developed and deployed RESTful services.
