Before we start today’s article, I have a recommendation for anyone into Java and system design: Javin’s Substack, Javarevisited.

Javin has a Substack called Javarevisited where he helps thousands of tech enthusiasts, developers, and software professionals to learn Java, Programming, and System Design and prepare for tech interviews. He has been writing blogs since 2010 and published Grokking the Java Interview book and courses on Udemy.

If you're into Java or System Design, check out his Substack!
