How To Implement Specific Distributed System Patterns Using Spring Boot: Introduction
DZone
SEPTEMBER 11, 2024
Regarding contemporary software architecture, distributed systems have been widely recognized for quite some time as the foundation for applications with high availability, scalability, and reliability goals. Spring Boot's default codes and annotation setup lessen the time it takes to design an application.

First, the behavior of an AI application depends on a model , which is built from source code and training data. A model isn’t source code, and it isn’t data; it’s an artifact built from the two. This means that, to have a history of how an application was developed, you have to look at more than the source code.
