Summary of "2-7 Years Interview Experience | Java | Spring Boot | Microservices | SQL | Barclays"

Main Ideas and Concepts

Deployment Process of Spring Boot Applications
- Write Spring Boot microservices.
- Create a Docker image and push it to AWS Elastic Container Registry (ECR).
- Use AWS CodePipeline to deploy to AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS).
- An EML file is used to automate deployment steps.
Exception Handling in Java
- Understand the hierarchy of exceptions (Throwable → Exception → Error).
- Distinguish between checked exceptions (e.g., IOException) and unchecked exceptions (e.g., ArithmeticException).
- Catch blocks should handle the most specific exceptions first to avoid compilation errors.
Difference Between throw and throws
- throw is used to explicitly throw an exception, while throws is used in a method signature to declare exceptions that a method can throw.
Java 8 Features
- Key features include Lambda expressions, functional interfaces, method references, and the Stream API.
- Parallel streams allow for concurrent data processing but come with challenges like thread safety and debugging difficulties.
Stream API Advantages
- Promotes functional programming, reduces boilerplate code, and improves performance with lazy evaluation.
- Supports parallel processing and ensures type safety with generics.
Serialization in Java
- serialVersionUID is used to ensure compatibility between serialized and deserialized objects.
Synchronized Maps
- HashMap is not synchronized; use ConcurrentHashMap for concurrent access or Collections.synchronizedMap() for a synchronized version.
Static Methods
- Static methods can be overloaded but not overridden because they belong to the class rather than instances.
Spring Boot Annotations
- @RequestMapping, @GetMapping, @PostMapping for handling HTTP requests.
- @Primary and @Qualifier for bean preference when multiple beans of the same type exist.
- @ComponentScan for including beans from different packages.
- Actuator for monitoring application health and metrics.

Methodology and Instructions

Deployment Steps
- Write microservices.
- Create Docker images and push to ECR.
- Use AWS CodePipeline for deployment to ECS.
- Automate with an EML file.
Exception Handling Order
- Catch exceptions in the order from most specific (child class) to least specific (parent class).
Using Java 8 to Remove Spaces from a String
- Use replaceAll method or stream filtering to remove spaces.
Using @RequestParam and @PathVariable in Spring
- Use @RequestParam for query parameters and @PathVariable for path parameters in URLs.
