It's awesome someone with your profile to say so :)

Not anymore (if it was needed) as I am aware. the article is old

Well I use it but not as much when I need a builder. It all comes down to this "It depends on use case to use case".

That's an interestring one. One of the goals when using the builder pattern is not to just perform settings the variables but also add some extra functionality on the set methods such as validation or some complex object construction on the build method. It seems to me that using the lombok's builder pattern is no different to just do the set values straight to the object.

Unfortunately no. Cloud formation is more like handling you infrastructure rather than you continous deployment, However there is a hack on that by changing the zip's name and put the new name reference on the script.

You are absolutely right and I am sorry on that. It seems something went wrong in the process and the code on the article is not in sync with the github one. Will fix it.

"create an "AggregateDiscount" that can apply discounts in sequence."
That's great and thank you for mentioning, will make some changes!

Nope, just a display of capability.

Thanks for the feedback! I might do another post making the best out of quartz and Spring boot integration.

Yes indeed, I use it only for example purposes. The example will be changed to avoid any misconceptions.
