Groovy
Synchronized Annotation for Synchronizing Methods
In this world of asynchronicity we live in where multiple promises may update a shared variable, Groovy's @Synchronized is a blessing.
The annotation will create a lock variable in our class (or we can use an existing variable) and the code is synchronized on that lock variable.

In this webinar, you will learn how Grails developers can leverage React in their projects. We'll demonstrate several ways to use these two frameworks together, including an introduction to the React profile for Grails.

Amazon Simple Message Queue Service with Grails microservices
Why you may want to use a Message Queue
When your web application contains a number of services or microservices, you may need them to communicate with each other. This is usually achieved using REST or message queues. A message queue(MQ) is a software component used for passing data (messages) between services. It exposes an interface for adding, reading, and removing messages.
This post shows how Grails benefits from being built on top of Spring Boot and how easy is to setup and consume Amazon SQS.
