Usually, database changes go through a pipeline of environments. For example, they are developed at developers' laptops, checked into a repository, deployed to the development environment, pushed to the test environment and finally propagated to the production. Ideally, the changes should be applied to all these environments in the same way but in real life there are some exceptions.
Have you used CHECKSUM function in SQL Server? Thirty third question verifies this knowledge.
Some operations in software systems are not reliable. Database operations may deadlock, sending an email may fail, a network request may not reach the destination etc. There is a chance that another attempt of the same action will succeed. It is recommended to wrap such operations with a retrying mechanism. Spring Retry is a library that makes it easy.
Third party libraries can help you with logging in your Java application. Thirty second question is about them.
A Scrum Team is not just a set of random people that work in the same company. It is a specific group that meets a bunch of conditions. Rules and guidelines of Scrum Teams creation are well described by Scrum methodology. I have talked to different people about it over the years and I noticed that there is a set of common misunderstandings regarding Scrum Teams. If you look around, you may notice some of them.
It has been a while since the last question about testing. I will make it up to you. Thirty first questionis about testing practices.
Does the title sound familiar? This is the second point listed in Agile Manifesto. Do you remember about it everyday at work? Do you really understand what it means and why it is so important? I am sure some of us do not because I have met two such persons in the last couple of weeks :)

These 30 minutes will allow you to see were is the difference between Java and Kotlin. For live coding enthusiasts - there is live coding.
When you start a project, you usually do not care about logging. Necessary information is printed to the console by default. That is usually enough for development but when you want to go with it to production, logging has to be configured. There are a few Java libraries that can handle logging like java.util.logging, Logback, Log4j, Jakarta Commons Logging. When you create a project based on Spring Boot Web Starter, Logback is added by default.
