A Day of Learning at Contentstack – Velachery....

πŸš€ A Day of Learning at Contentstack – Velachery

Today, I had the incredible opportunity to attend a technical session focused on JVM-based development at Contentstack, Velachery. It was an engaging and knowledge-packed experience that introduced me to several modern backend and architecture concepts.


πŸ” What I Learned

1️⃣ JAMstack Architecture

I was introduced to the JAMstack model – which stands for JavaScript, APIs, and Markup. This modern architecture helps in building fast, secure, and scalable websites by decoupling the frontend from the backend. It emphasized:

  • Using client-side JavaScript for dynamic functionality
  • Leveraging APIs for backend operations
  • Serving pre-built Markup files for performance

2️⃣ Data Pipeline Concepts

Understanding how data moves through a system is essential in backend development. I learned about:

  • Data ingestion
  • Processing stages
  • Delivery and storage These concepts form the foundation of scalable and reliable data systems.

3️⃣ Threading in Java

I explored how multithreading works in backend systems – especially in handling multiple user requests and responses concurrently. Some key takeaways included:

  • Thread lifecycle
  • Concurrency in handling backend workloads
  • Optimizing application performance with threads

4️⃣ Introduction to Spring AI

The most exciting part was learning about Spring AI – a new framework from the Spring ecosystem that allows integration of AI models into Java-based applications. It gave me insights into:

  • Using AI in real-world backend services
  • How AI can enhance application features and user experience
