The Java Stream API is a wonderful tool, but not without its shortcomings. There is a bug in Java 8 & 9 which affects the number of threads used by a parallel stream in a seemingly unpredictable way. Beware!
Category: Java
By default, Spring Boot uses an OpenEntityManagerInViewInterceptor which “binds a JPA EntityManager to the thread for the entire processing of the request […] to allow for lazy loading in web views despite the original transactions already being completed”.
In other words, in every @Controller/@RestController action, instead of throwing a LazyInitializationException when you forget to fetch a lazy-loaded property, Spring will now fetch the property outside of the original transaction. The pattern (or antipattern) is called Open Session In View (OSIV) and, while it sounds fairly useful, is not a good choice for production environments.
