Your Modular Monolith Needs an Architecture Test

A developer needs one more field for an order confirmation. The inventory module already has it, so they import a convenient internal class. The code compiles. The feature works. The boundary on the architecture diagram has just disappeared. That is a practical problem worth solving before splitting an application into Read more

Typed AI Decisions in Java: Make Uncertainty an Explicit Outcome

Research date: September 27, 2026. An architecture guide with an executable Java 21 example. A customer writes: “My payment failed, and now I cannot log in.” Should that ticket go to billing or technical support? A language model can suggest a queue, but your application still has to decide whether Read more

Spring AI 2.1: Your RAG Pipeline Needs an Embedding Contract

Engineering analysis — September 27, 2026. Based on the Spring AI milestone released September 25. An enterprise search application can accept every vector, return plausible results, and still be wrong. The dangerous case is not necessarily a malformed request. It is a successful import of vectors that belong to a Read more
