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.

A/B testing deployment

A/B testing deployment is a technique that's used to test features in your application.

This means that A/B testing is suitable for frontend applications that are introducing new interfaces, or changing the look and feel of the applications. Feedback from users is very important, thus doing it directly in production is the best test environment you can have. The users' reaction can show whether changes you have done are intuitive or not, and you can eventually adapt your software according to the feedback.

From OpenShift's perspective, this is literally the same as canary deployment, except that you set the weights between the two services to 50% each:

So, if you didn't follow Chapter 8, Microservices Patterns, please do so, and set 50% for the service weights.

As you can see, in OpenShift, it is very easy to achieve such deployment...
