FizzBuzz Enterprise Edition is a satirical Java project. FizzBuzz is a classic beginner programming exercise: print numbers from 1 to 100, but replace multiples of 3 with "Fizz," multiples of 5 with "Buzz," and multiples of both with "FizzBuzz." Any experienced programmer can write a correct solution in a few lines. This project takes that trivially simple problem and implements it using the extreme over-engineering style of traditional corporate "enterprise" software, layering on complex design patterns, dozens of abstraction layers, interfaces, factories, and other architectural machinery that would only make sense in a huge, long-lived business system. The joke is the enormous gap between the simplicity of the problem and the absurd complexity of the solution. It is a commentary on how software development culture in large organizations can produce unnecessarily complicated code through blind adherence to design patterns and "enterprise" conventions. It is popular among developers as a piece of humor and a conversation starter about when architectural complexity is and is not warranted. The project is written in Java, which is often associated with this style of over-engineering in the programming community.
