Apeldoorn JUG @ Craftsmen - Maven's hidden secrets & Clean Architecture

**Building maintainable Spring Boot apps with Clean Architecture**
Clean Architecture is about separating concerns within your application to keep it maintainable, scalable, and testable. Some call it onion architecture, others call it hexagonal, but in the end they all aim for the same goal: protecting your domain logic from the messy outside world.
But how does this work in practice?
In this session, we'll build a Spring Boot application together using the principles of Clean Architecture. We'll use the Spring Boot Test framework for clean integration tests and ArchUnit to ensure our squeaky-clean application stays that way by enforcing architectural boundaries.
After this session you've learned what Clean Architecture is, and how you can leverage your own applications with it.
**Maven's Hidden Secrets and Treasures to speed up your build**
Ahoy, Maven Pirates! Gather around, for I have a treasure of knowledge to share with ye salty dogs. ☠️
Ye be hearin' about this thing called 'Build Caching'? It’s a secret weapon that can make yer ship (build) sail faster than a seagull catchin' the wind!
How does it work, ye ask? Well, add an extension to the project file in the "pom" ye mateys call it. But don't think it's all smooth sailin' from there. Nay, ye need to do a bit of work on the pipeline too. Arr, we be talkin' about addin' a remote (cache) server to the settings file, and then ye be sayin' goodbye to them extra (rum with) coffee breaks. ☕️
By makin' a few simple tweaks, we give yer build a mighty fine boost! And ye be learnin' all about them Maven lifecycles too! We will show how to improve yer tests and run them in parallel, like enterin’ a ship. ⚡️
But hear me out, me hearties, for this be no ordinary treasure of knowledge. Nay, this is reserved for a select few, the likes of ye who be joinin' this session.
So, keep yer lips sealed, and don't be tellin' a soul about this secret, aye?
