Experience
- Design and Implementation of a Product Content API
At Bol.com, the product content flows through many microservices before it reaches the webshop. To hide the dazzling complexity of all these processes, I designed and implemented a product content (REST) API.
Technologies: Spring Boot, Kotlin, Reactor, Swagger, GCP - Microservice Data Tracing
ROLE: Tech Lead
As a tech lead, I built a system that traces data uploads throughout several microservices. This system can be used to provide real-time information on the current status of any data upload.
Bol.com is a platform where other businesses can sell their products. To do this, we offer them many channels to upload their product information. The handling of this product information works asynchronously and can take up to several hours. For many years, we provided no feedback whatsoever on these data uploads. Thanks to this tracing system users now get valuable feedback on what happened to their uploads.
Technologies: Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, Reactor, Swagger, Angular, D3.js, GCP - Setup of the Front-end Microservice Architecture
At Bol.com, there are hundreds of microservices making up the IT landscape. However, front-end applications are difficult to split up and divide over several microservices, and therefore these were still built as monoliths.
I played a leading role in several iterations in which we pushed front-end applications into microservices. I set up a big part of the architecture that has been used by many front-end teams at Bol.com over the last three years.
Technologies: Spring Boot, Swagger, AngularJS, Angular - Node.js Database Client for MonetDBhttps://www.npmjs.com/package/monetdb
MonetDB has developed its own protocol: MAPI. Together with other colleagues, I developed a Node.js-based database client that communicates using this protocol with a running database server, to enable Node.js developers to easily query their MonetDB database.
- Rich Data Visualizations at MonetDB Solutions
I developed a highly interactive, web-based application that leads its users through their (big) data without any prior knowledge of that data.
Technologies: Node.js, Express.js, AngularJS, D3.js - Web-based Database Profiler Tool
At MonetDB Solutions, I had access to an experimental feature of MonetDB, which published live profiling information over a socket. I developed a Python web server that listened to this socket, prepared this data for a browser and offered it over a web socket. I built an accompanying front-end application that visualized this profiling information as a live Gantt-chart, conveying information about what was happening on every CPU core.
