In existing table with data populated, changing the column type from string to text requires some migration. For large data type, Postgres stores the data in a separate location and just references it by using an ID. This means that, until then, column data would be a string content and after the change, it would…

Hexagonal Architecture With SpringBoot

Initialize a Database Using Hibernate – profile and db based
You want to initialize a database with different data depending on the data source?

Thread.sleep()
To continue with writing integration tests. When testing asynchronous operations, such as sending message to a queue, waiting for a response and completing some task, we need to introduce some kind of wait time in the test. Instead of using Thread.sleep(), we can use something called Awaitility… Documentation is pretty self explanatory… Testing asynchronous systems…
