Let's jump right in:

» THIS WEEK IN JAVA


Highlights:

  • A complete rundown of cool Multiline String Literals in Java 13 as proposed in JEP-355
  • An overview of the query hints available in JPA/Hibernate
  • And a look at four design patterns for enhancing a system's resilience



It's been a while since I've been telling you about Datadog. 
The platform is quite powerful and can quickly give you visibility into pretty much everything from a simple web app to a widely microservices architecture. 
They're also releasing a ton of new functionality as well - so I'll make sure to tell you more about it as I actually use stuff in practice. 

In the meantime, definitely give their trial a go, spend the 5 minutes it takes to get set up.
You can get a surprising amount of data with the basic setup before you have to set up anything manually. 
 

Cheers and have a great weekend,
Eugen
