Summary

In this chapter, you learned about the most significant changes to Jakarta EE 10, including what different profiles there are and when they are used. You also learned about some of the new features that Jakarta EE 10 brings to your application and how you can use MicroProfile together with your application to make it more resilient.

Next, you saw how to add monitoring to your application by using Prometheus to store health metrics and Grafana to display them inside a dashboard, making it easier for teams to see what is happening inside their application.

Now that the application has been updated to the latest version, the next step is to make sure the application keeps working by adding tests. The next chapter will cover how you can test your application to ensure that every still works after every change.
