Modernizing Your Application with the Latest Features

The application you are migrating, which in our case is the Cargo tracker application, has not been majorly upgraded in the last few years, which has resulted in it missing out on lots of new features and not using features that the cloud has to offer, such as monitoring and scaling. In this chapter, we are going to focus on Jakarta EE 10 and upgrading an application to cloud-native standards. During this chapter, you are going to modernize your application so that it is ready to run in the cloud while using the latest features of Jakarta EE 10.

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

  • The most significant changes made to Jakarta EE 10
  • Adding the first cloud-native feature – resilience
  • Adding the second cloud-native feature – monitoring
  • Using Prometheus and Grafana to visualize the monitoring process

After completing this chapter, you will be able to upgrade your application...
