VibeX: the architecture diagram you never have to draw

ERDs, C4 models, API catalogues and state machines generated from the schema that actually ships — plus documentation that fails CI when it drifts. One standalone HTML file, no server, zero outbound requests. Somebody asks where the order state actually lives. You open the Confluence page. It was last edited in 2023, by someone who left in 2024, and it describes four tables that are now six. So…

vibeX is a tool that generates architecture diagrams from existing schema files, eliminating the need to manually draw them. It produces a single HTML file that contains diagrams, documentation, and links to the source code, allowing for easy interrogation and sharing. The diagrams are derived from the generated specifications, ensuring they remain in sync with the actual schema.

The documentation consists of claims, which are sentences with their source attached, anchored to a file by a content hash to prevent drift. The tool is designed to be fast, secure, and network-independent, making it suitable for review and collaboration without relying on external servers or SaaS platforms.

What Go Taught Us About Java Garbage Collection

As Java developers, we take a lot of inspiration from HotSpot. It is the gold standard for many of us, and for good reason. But measuring ParparVM against Go recently sent me down a different path.

  • Go keeps more objects off the heap, reducing garbage collector work.
  • ParparVM Java-to-C compiler allows experimentation with Go's memory strategies.
  • Configurable minimum allocation threshold improves Java performance.
