Hands-On Cloud-Native Microservices with Jakarta EE

By: Luigi Fugaro, Mauro Vocale

Overview of this book

Businesses today are evolving rapidly, and developers now face the challenge of building applications that are resilient, flexible, and native to the cloud. To achieve this, you'll need to be aware of the environment, tools, and resources that you're coding against. The book will begin by introducing you to cloud-native architecture and simplifying the major concepts. You'll learn to build microservices in Jakarta EE using MicroProfile with Thorntail and Narayana LRA. You'll then delve into cloud-native application x-rays, understanding the MicroProfile specification and the implementation/testing of microservices. As you progress further, you'll focus on continuous integration and continuous delivery, in addition to learning how to dockerize your services. You'll also cover concepts and techniques relating to security, monitoring, and troubleshooting problems that might occur with applications after you've written them. By the end of this book, you will be equipped with the skills you need to build highly resilient applications using cloud-native microservice architecture.

Summary

In this chapter, we went through the basic deployment strategy you can adopt in OpenShift to deploy your microservices.

We also described the basic concepts related to DevOps and the methodology that's used to release software through the environments, using CI and CD, and various deployment strategies such as blue-green, canary, A/B testing, and rolling deployment, describing how and when to use the most appropriate technique.

In the next chapter, we will see how we can monitor a platform running cloud native microservices, using metrics showing the status of the cluster. Of course, the monitoring section will be leveraged by open source tools such as Prometheus and Grafana.
