February 2025 summary for the eugenp/tutorials repository: Delivered a Kafka Topic Partitions Scaling feature that demonstrates how to scale a Kafka topic by increasing partitions using the AdminClient. Implemented a Java class that scales the topic by increasing partitions for higher throughput, specifically raising 'my-topic' to 3 partitions. This work is tied to commit 4d7088cd40311a41b1ea4c6417ec010d6e6efbd8 with the message 'Added code to add new partitions in kafka topic (#18296)'. Business value includes improved throughput and scalability for streaming workloads, along with practical guidance for developers on partition management. Technologies demonstrated include Java, Kafka AdminClient, topic scaling patterns, and Git-based traceability. No major bugs fixed this month.

November 2024: Delivered a configurable per-bean autowiring control (TestBean) in the eugenp/tutorials repo to disable Spring autowiring for a specific bean. Implemented via TestBeanFactoryBean and added a test to verify the behavior. Commit BAEL-6558 created: 7fc5700b96e59a1fe025947a86522b1506556db1. This feature reduces risk of unintended autowiring in demos, improves testability, and clarifies bean wiring for tutorials.
