Byte Buddy: A Practical Guide to Java Bytecode Instrumentation

Byte Buddy lets you create and modify Java classes at runtime without a compiler. You can add methods, intercept calls, inject fields, and rewrite bytecode — all after the JVM has started.

This guide walks through every major strategy with working examples, failure cases, and real-world parallels.

A Shared Gradle Build System for Multi-Repo Platforms

Large Java platforms often span dozens of repositories — each with its own build files, dependency declarations, and tooling configuration. Without a unified approach, version drift creeps in, build logic gets duplicated, and a routine dependency upgrade turns into a multi-repo coordination nightmare.

This post walks through an architecture pattern that solves this using Gradle: a dedicated shared-build repository that acts as the single source of truth for build logic, dependency versions, and project conventions across every repo in the platform.

Key Principles

Here's a clean, concise summary of the key steps to design a Ticket Booking System (like BookMyShow or Ticketmaster) in a system design interview:

1. Clarify Requirements (5–8 mins)

Functional: Browse/search events by city/date/category → View seat map → Select & hold seats → Make payment → Confirm booking → View/cancel bookings.
Non-Functional: Handle high concurrency (flash sales), prevent double-booking (strong consistency for seats), low latency, high availability (99.99%), scalability to 10k–100k+ RPS at peak.
Ask about scale, payment integration, cancellation rules, admin features.

2. Back-of-the-Envelope Estimation

Estimate:

Daily active users, peak RPS during sales.

1. Executive Summary

Analyse the @docs dir and claude.md
What can be improved in the doc files so that claude code can work better?
After the doc changes, review it
Don't try to create large files at single shot instead create them step by step
