Working within a software development team has tremendous benefits, but it also comes with its share of complications. One of those complications is inertia โ the more people who get used to a process or a certain set of tools, the more difficult it can be to introduce changes. Maybe this manifests in a positive way, where repetition and familiarity …
This blog walks through building a clean, modular service layer in Flutter to keep mobile apps scalable, maintainable, and resilient to change. Using real examples with third-party APIs, it demonstrates how to abstract logic, structure code for API calls, and easily swap data sources without major rewrites. Youโll also learn strategies like creating request/response classes and centralizing error handling to reduce redundancy and improve code quality.
Itโs common to face challenges around long-running workflows, state management, and resiliency when youโre building cloud-native applications. Traditional approaches like background services or message queues might work sometimes, but they often require a lot of โglue codeโ and custom retry logic. This entails not only more work up-front for the developer, but also more maintenance in the long run.
Thatโs where Azure Durable Functions come in.
In this post, weโll explore how to use GitHub Copilot to generate Java code and unit tests with minimal manual input. Using a real-world exampleโa mortgage calculator serviceโyouโll see how Copilot can help write both the core logic and the corresponding unit tests. Whether youโre new to AI-assisted development or curious about Copilotโs capabilities in a Java environment, this tutorial will give you practical insight into how it worksโand where human oversight still matters.
