Hosting a Git Server

I've been searching for the last couple of days to find which software is best for hosting own git server like github, bitbucket or gitlab. I've found some solution and I'm going to share it will everyone.

GitLab

Another great software is GitLab. Most probably, this is the best of all choices. Installing it on Ubuntu is very easy and straightforward as they provide a deb package file. But installing from source is a long, complex process. Moreover you may face some trouble regarding dependency of other packages. GitLab can be downloaded for free from here.

RhodeCode

RhodeCode is another solution which is written in python. It also provides a nice installer script which will guide you through the installation process. 

Gogs

Gogs is the very new solution written in Go language. It has a nice UI and is very easy to setup. 

Bitbucket

If you are interested to pay some money, choose the Bitbucket. Price is not high and you'll get all the awesome features of Bitbucket in it like merging branchs, using SSH keys, code review etc. As of current pricing plans, you'll get a lifetime license for 10 users for $10 onetime payment.

    Thanks for mentioning RhodeCode! Please check it out again, we just released version 3.0 which added server-side merges, has the most flexible pull request system including voting and a completely new user interface.

    Best,

Run tasks in background in Spring

Why background task? There are tons of examples where we often need to run a task in background e.g. sending an email, sms or notification, writing some log in file etc. If a task is not required to maintain atomicity and can be executed after some delay, it's a good candidate to run in background.   How to run tasks in background in Java? In Java, the easiest way to run a task in background is to create a new thread and execute it. It's quite simple. Here is how to do this: new Thread(new Runnable(){ @Override public void run(){ // your background task } }).start(); It's easy! But there are some maintenance problem with the above code. The major problem is - there is no way to control how many background tasks we want to run simultaneously. For example, if 1000 users registers in your application at a time and you create 1000 background threads to send them a confirmation email, maybe you'll be in trouble. So you ne...

Conditional field inclusion in Jackson and Spring Boot

When we write JSON API with spring boot, we often need to customize which fields should be included in our response JSON and which should not.
