I've just fixed the last issue I had in my java instrumentation demo where a bytebuddy agent add tracing context into vertx's internal requests

What a great relief 🥳 !!

Java Protip: Mockito failing on Java 21?

You need to add the latest ByteBuddy to your dependencies, because Mockito is on an outdated version.

(btw, use Temurin as your OpenJDK distribution)

Building a Durable Execution Engine With SQLite

Great article with accompanying Java code, that uses annotations, bytebuddy and sqlite to be able to resume jobs. Great to follow explanations plus code.
Building a Durable Execution Engine With SQLite
Lately, there has been a lot of excitement around Durable Execution (DE) engines. The basic idea of DE is to take (potentially long-running) multi-step workflows, such as processing a purchase order…

Cara, inclusive eu também acho que o ano que vem vai trazer muita melhoria nisso a partir do Java 25, tanto porque vai ser o primeiro "LTS" com Classfile API (openjdk.org/jeps/484), novas coisas no
Bytebuddy, @openrewrite.github.io e afins, como também tá tendo um monte de inovação na @graalvm.org

Tem o ByteBuddy que é outra solução pra reflection. Também usei e muito tempo atrás, mas não é a única solução de geração de código. Há soluções bem mais rápidas hoje. Mas eu estava numa reunião hoje de manhã descendo o cacete em reflection e dizendo pra usar outras coisas. 😂😂😂

Na real na real, acho que o estado-da-arte em reflection em Java é o Bytebuddy, teria outra alternativa melhor? @rafaelcodes.bsky.social não só tem a abstração default em cima de ASM, como também um bridge em cima do novo Classfile API (JDK24+). E o Classfile está só melhorando com o tempo.

Almost everyone working with the JVM has used his code directly or indirectly. Don't miss Marco Behler's fascinating interview with @rafaelcodes.bsky.social, the author of Byte Buddy, the JVM's best bytecode manipulation library:

I would open the traces and look at the outliers. I've built rather detailed traces for our SaaS using standard java and bytebuddy for all BL and DAO methods; *some traces* would match and be sent to datadog for this period in our case. If still in doubt, I would look at the JFR runtime profiles

ByteBuddy is JVM-specific, so Mockk and Mockito do not work outside JVM, but there are new libraries like Mokkery or Mockative, that use compiler plugins or KSP for mock instances generation.
May 22, 2025 at 9:02 AM
The biggest challenge is creating the mock object
It should be of a certain type, but its method should behave as configured. Both Mockk and Mockito use under the hood ByteBuddy, a library that allows objects to be made at runtime. Here is how it can be used to create a fake instance of UserService.

Spannendes interview für Menschen die irgendwas mit Java machen werden mit der Library schon etwas direkt oder indirekt zutun haben.
