Looking for the OpenAPI 3 compliant documentation for your Spring Boot-based project REST API?
As you know, there are many ways to achieve it (e.g. using the Springfox library). But which solution will be both integrated with the Spring ecosystem and OpenAPI 3 compliant?
Fortunately, the answer is springdoc-openapi. It’s the library that generates documentation almost automatically, without even providing configuration and thousands of cluttering annotations.
In this text, I’m going to show you how you can integrate your Spring Boot project with the springdoc-openapi library to generate nice API documentation which will be compatible with the OpenAPI 3 standard.

If you need to deliver your application quickly worldwide, then you can try to use CloudFront.
In this short text, I’m going to show you how easy it is, using the previously deployed Angular app as an example.
Using CloudFront for the websites hosted on the S3 is also a good idea when you need to use the domain which is not registered on Route 53 but on the external provider.

Showing multiple locations on a single map isn’t easy. Both from visual and performance point of view.
But fortunately, there’s a solution to this problem, called marker clustering. Basically, it’s about gathering points together in groups called clusters. Their size depends on current map zoom settings. It helps a lot when it comes to navigation through the map.
In this text, I’m going to show you how you can achieve it in your Angular project using the Leaflet map with Leaflet.markercluster library.

In this blog post, I’m going to show you how can you set up the simple CI/CD pipeline for the Angular app.
The goal was to build the GitHub-based Angular project automatically with Travis CI and deploy it into an S3 bucket, which is used to host a static website.
Let’s begin and learn how you can set it all up yourself.

Let’s take a look at the HTTP status codes.
In this text I’m going to walk through the 10 most common status codes you may see working with HTTP.
I hope it will help you to understand how the HTTP works or refresh your knowledge and help you design better APIs.
Continue reading HTTP Basics – 10 HTTP status codes you need to know
While designing our APIs, we often need to make a decision, which method do we’d like to choose to create a new resource on the server.
Will it be POST or PUT?
But hey, wait a minute, there’s still a PATCH method. Will it be suitable for this purpose?
In this short text, I’m going to go through all these methods and show you what are the best use cases for each of them.
Continue reading HTTP basics – PUT vs POST vs PATCH, what is the difference?
In the previous text, we familiarize ourselves with the concept of the idempotent methods in HTTP.
Let’s talk about safe methods today. What does it mean? Does it have something to do with HTTPS? Well, not really 😉
Let me explain it. Continue reading Safe methods in HTTP – what do you need to know about them?
