Introducing MicroProfile

At this point, you should have a good idea of how you can move your application to the cloud. Even though your application is now running in the cloud, it does not mean that it displays. To achieve that, some extra steps need to happen. These extra steps can be made by utilizing MicroProfile.

In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following topics:

  • A brief history of MicroProfile
  • What a MicroProfile consists of
  • Looking at the core APIs in MicroProfile

By completing this chapter, you will have a thorough understanding of what cloud-native behavior is and how MicroProfile can help you add this kind of behavior to your applications.
