Hands-On Cloud Development with WildFly

By: Tomasz Adamski

Overview of this book

The book starts by introducing you to WildFly Swarm—a tool that allows you to create runnable microservices from Java EE components. You’ll learn the basics of Swarm operation—creating microservices containing only the parts of enterprise runtime needed in a specific case. Later, you’ll learn how to configure and test those services. In order to deploy our services in the cloud, we’ll use OpenShift. You’ll get to know basic information on its architecture, features, and relationship to Docker and Kubernetes. Later, you’ll learn how to deploy and configure your services to run in the OpenShift cloud. In the last part of the book, you’ll see how to make your application production-ready. You’ll find out how to configure continuous integration for your services using Jenkins, make your application resistant to network failures using Hystrix, and how to secure them using Keycloak. By the end of the book, you’ll have a functional example application and will have practical knowledge of Java EE cloud development that can be used as a reference in your other projects.

Jakarta EE

It has been announced that the Java EE brand is changing its name to Jakarta EE, and, similar to MicroProfile, will be a project developed under the governance of the Eclipse foundation. The transformation of the standard is currently taking place, but following the initial success of the MicroProfile initiative it can be expected that the new way in which the standard will be created will learn a lot from its smaller brother, such as the separation of innovation and standardization, and an open community process with fast feedback, providing the latest innovation without sacrificing portability.

If the mentioned efforts prove themselves successful, we can expect a bright future for Enterprise Java being understood as a family of products that originates from the Java EE technology. We will deal with the product based on proven technology, which is based on years of...
