Jakarta EE and MicroProfile Highlights

This session will showcase a number of features from Jakarta EE and MicroProfile Specifications through a number of examples, using a hands-on approach. The examples will be run in production-like microservices using Payara Micro and Docker, showing how they fit perfectly in cloud-native development

Learn important features for the development of Jakarta EE and MicroProfile applications through a number of examples in action, using a hands-on approach. This presentation will showcase a number of Jakarta EE and MicroProfile Specifications which have had more recent changes, and explain how they fit in modern software development. These examples will be run in production-like projects that can be used to construct and run microservices that work together using Payara Micro and Docker.

Attendees will walk away with a solid understanding of some of the most important features of Jakarta EE and MicroProfile and how they perfectly fit in microservices development.

Josh Juneau works as an application developer, system analyst, and database administrator. He primarily develops using Java and other JVM languages. Josh is a technical writer for Java Magazine, and has published titles for Apress, including a number of Java EE and Jakarta EE titles. He will demonstrate the Jakarta EE specification examples from his IDE.

Edwin Derks is the Committer Representative for MicroProfile, being heavily involved in the evolution of this framework. He occasionally develops Jakarta EE and MicroProfile applications but is more active as an architect and speaker. He will demonstrate the MicroProfile specification examples and how to build and run these applications with Docker. Moreover, he will elaborate on why Jakarta EE and MicroProfile are such a good fit for containerization in general.
