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.

Summary

After reading this book, you hopefully have a wider understanding of emerging enterprise software architectures of cloud computing and microservices. Furthermore, you will be familiar with a number of tools that you can use in order to implement systems taking advantage of both of those. We have shown you how to build microservices using WildFly Swarm, and deploy them in the cloud using OpenShift. In the later parts of the book, we have also shown you how to configure Continuous Deployment using Jenkins, security using Keycloak, and how to make your applications resilient to network failures using Hystrix. The emerging solutions of MicroProfile and Jakarta EE will hopefully make it able to innovate enterprise Java in a faster way. As a result, in the near future, you will be able to take advantage of tools that will allow you to solve problems described in this book based...
