I work on backend systems — mostly Java, mostly the kind that have been running longer than anyone planned. This is where I write about what I find.
I'm Gabriel — backend engineer based in Málaga. I've spent [X] years inside the Java ecosystem, mostly working on systems that were never supposed to last this long but somehow became load-bearing for the whole business.
My day-to-day is Kubernetes, Spring Boot, and the kind of database work that only surfaces when something breaks on a Friday evening.
I write here to think through problems out loud. If something's useful to you, that's a bonus.
