Java 11, among other features, introduced the possibility of running a single Java source file. We are going to see a practical example of this feature running with kubernetes.

A well-known characteristic of Java Stream is that it can be consumed only once, thus if we want to do some operations that require two passes or more through elements we have to create a new stream or develop a custom collector. Thankfully, Java 12 comes with Collectors::teeing that solves exactly this situation.

In this article, we’ll have a look at how to separate an application into different modules so that it can be developed and tested in isolation of any external dependencies. As a result, we’ll obtain loosely coupled components where things like database and communication protocol can easily be replaced without any changes in the domain logic.

With the rise of lambda expression and newer features, there is an increasing necessity to review some of the functional programming concepts and how are they applied in Java.
