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 have learned about OKD, the community project on which OpenShift is based.

We also described and learned how an application can be internally called by its service name, and how an application is reachable from outside the platform by relying on the Route component.

In the next chapter, we will describe the common patterns used when designing and building microservices using containers; more specifically, using OpenShift as PaaS. We will also implement and test the efficiency of those patterns with real-time examples.
