I just joined the Hibernate team at RedHat
Imagine having a tool that can automatically detect JPA and Hibernate performance issues. Wouldn’t that be just awesome?
Well, Hypersistence Optimizer is that tool! And it works with Spring Boot, Spring Framework, Jakarta EE, Java EE, Quarkus, or Play Framework.
So, enjoy spending your time on the things you love rather than fixing performance issues in your production system on a Saturday night!
Hibernate Developer Advocate
Today is my first day working as a Developer Advocate for the Hibernate ORM project at RedHat. My job consists in helping the community getting the most out of Hibernate. This is really exciting since I can continue the work that I started when I came out with this blog.
If we take the 2015 Java Ecosystem Report issued by Dzone, Hibernate has a 63.9% market share. There are millions of Java developers depending on a relatively small team for delivering their favorite JPA implementation. So, this job carries lot of responsibility when you think about it.
Giving answers
You’ll find me on the Hibernate forum or Stack Overflow, trying to get the best answer for your questions.
Improving documentation
Documentation is extremely important to every open source project, and we want to align it with the latest development achievements (the 4.x and 5.x branches).
Improving the Hibernate documentation is really a full-time project but, when thinking of how much impact it has on the community, it’s worth all the effort.
Fixing issues
I look forward to helping my team addressing any reported issue in a timely fashion. Hibernate is a very complex framework and providing backward compatibility for so many features is really a tough job. Any extra help is always welcome.
Conferences
From now on, you’ll probably see me at Java conferences, where I plan on talking about Hibernate, data access best practices and high-performance Java persistence.
All in all, there is a lot of work to do, and I am looking forward to helping our Hibernate community.
