Kicking JavaScript to the Curb with Vaadin
summary
Existing Spring Boot + Vue.js app (in production ~7 years, used by 4–8 people) migrates to end-to-end Java with Vaadin Flow, Spring Boot 3.5.11, Keycloak (migrated from Okta), Flyway and OpenRewrite. Vaadin’s binder replaces custom debounce threads and value-change listeners, presenter pattern pulls business logic out of views, stats schema is reworked to be dynamic, mobile controls replace sliders, OIDC/OAuth2 auth and pagination work and the app stays lightweight and functional.
