    Odigos

    Odigos

    Distributed tracing without code changes

    Odigos supports any application written in Java, Python, .NET, Node.js and Go. Historically, compiled languages like Go have been difficult to instrument without code changes. Odigos solves this problem by uniquely leveraging eBPF. Odigos currently supports all the popular managed and open source destinations. By producing data in the OpenTelemetry format, Odigos can be used with any observability tool that supports OTLP. Odigos automatically scales OpenTelemetry collectors based on observability data volume. Manage and configure collectors via a convenient web UI. Installing Odigos takes less than 5 minutes, and requires no code changes.

    Bastillion

    Bastillion

    Web-based SSH console that centrally manages administrative access

    Bastillion is a web-based SSH console that centrally manages administrative access to systems. Web-based administration is combined with the management and distribution of user's public SSH keys. Key management and administration is based on profiles assigned to defined users. Administrators can login using two-factor authentication with Authy or Google Authenticator. From there they can manage their public SSH keys or connect to their systems through a web-shell. Commands can be shared across shells to make patching easier and eliminate redundant command execution. Bastillion layers TLS/SSL on top of SSH and acts as a bastion host for administration. Protocols are stacked (TLS/SSL + SSH) so infrastructure cannot be exposed through tunneling / port forwarding.

    Webcam Capture API

    Webcam Capture API

    Allow integrated or USB-connected webcams to be accessed from Java

    This library allows you to use your built-in or external webcam directly from Java. It's designed to abstract commonly used camera features and support various capturing frameworks. Assume a situation when your code depends on some capturing framework, but suddenly you have to drop it and use a different, maybe newer one (e.g. replace archaic JMF with newest GStreamer). By doing this you will have to rewrite significant piece of your code because these frameworks are completely different and not compatible at all. This is where Webcam Capture API comes to save the world - it was created to remove the burden of such situations so you do not have to rewrite your code ever again, but instead, you can simply switch the driver class to a different one.

    Diffusive

    Task-oriented distributed computing framework

    DIFFUSIVE HAS MOVED TO GITHUB: http://robphilipp.github.com/diffusive The goal of diffusive programming is to make task-oriented distributed computing easier by separating the execution logic from the distribution logic. Diffusive programming, defined by a set of six principles, is an approach for performing method-level, task-oriented distributed computing. In diffusive programming, any method can be marked for distribution, regardless of its signature. And marking a method is necessary and sufficient for its execution to be distributed. Distribution of tasks occurs through a network of nodes that can accept tasks and execute them, or forward them on. Nodes executing a task, load the required resources as needed, and cache them. The topology of the network of nodes can be anything that can be represented as a directed graph. Topologies can be tailored to solve specific problems. Diffusive is a Java refer- ence implementation of the six principles that define diffusive programming.

    Besu Ethereum Client

    Besu Ethereum Client

    An enterprise-grade Java-based, Apache 2.0 licensed Ethereum client

    You can use Besu to develop enterprise applications requiring secure, high-performance transaction processing in a private network. A private network is a network not connected to Ethereum Mainnet or an Ethereum testnet. Private networks typically use a different chain ID and proof of authority consensus (QBFT, IBFT 2.0, or Clique). You can also create a local development network using proof of work (Ethash). Instructions for how to get started with developing on the Besu codebase. Please also read the wiki for more details on how to submit a pull request (PR). Besu is an Apache 2.0 licensed, MainNet compatible, Ethereum client written in Java. Participation in private networks is typically restricted in some way, so the volume of traffic is much lower than on Mainnet, resulting in lower system requirements. Depending on your environment and network setup, the minimum Java Virtual Machine (JVM) memory requirement for private networks is 4 GB.

    Micronaut

    Micronaut

    Micronaut Application Framework

    Micronaut is a modern, JVM-based, full-stack Java framework designed for building modular, easily testable JVM applications with support for Java, Kotlin, and the Groovy language. Micronaut is developed by the creators of the Grails framework and takes inspiration from lessons learned over the years building real-world applications from monoliths to microservices using Spring, Spring Boot, and Grails. Micronaut aims to provide all the tools necessary to build JVM applications. With Micronaut you can build message-driven applications, command-line applications, HTTP servers, and more whilst for Microservices in particular Micronaut also provides distributed configuration. This is achieved by pre-computing the framework infrastructure at compilation time which reduces the logic required at runtime for the application to work. Compatible with Java, Groovy, and Kotlin, with Scala on the roadmap.

    Spring Boot Demo

    Spring Boot Demo

    A project for in-depth study and practical application of Spring Boot

    This repository is a hands-on, “deep learning by doing” collection of Spring Boot demos that you can run and study module by module. It currently includes 66 planned integrations (with 55 completed) spanning monitoring, logging, templating, data access, caching, messaging, scheduling, search, security, and more. The master branch targets Spring Boot 2.1.0.RELEASE with a parent POM that centralizes common dependency versions; the older v-1.5.x branch is frozen and its contents are being migrated to master. Each demo ships with its own README and some require pre-initialized database data before launching. The project outlines a standard development environment (JDK 8+, Maven 3.5+, IntelliJ IDEA with Lombok, MySQL 5.7+) and simple run instructions—clone, open in IDEA, import Maven, and run the module’s Application class. It’s intended as a practical reference you can fork, explore, and extend.

    Spring Boot Examples

    Spring Boot Examples

    Spring Boot tutorials, technology stack example code

    spring-boot-examples is a collection of small, runnable projects that teach Spring Boot “by example,” emphasizing minimal dependencies and practical, copy-pasteable patterns. The repository provides multiple standalone demos (e.g., web, scheduling, persistence, messaging, caching, Docker) to help beginners quickly grasp common components and idioms. The author notes that all examples have been updated to Spring Boot 3.0, with earlier 1.x and 2.x code paths kept accessible for reference. Each sample focuses on a single topic—such as Web MVC, WebFlux, Thymeleaf, JPA/MyBatis CRUD, file upload, Redis/MongoDB, RabbitMQ, and containerization—so you can learn one concept at a time and compose them later. There are also demos for testing, packaging (JAR/WAR), and Docker Compose scenarios that combine Spring Boot with Nginx and MySQL. If you want additional topics covered, the maintainer invites requests via issues so the set can keep growing with the community’s needs.
