Hands-On Enterprise Java Microservices with Eclipse MicroProfile

By: Cesar Saavedra, Heiko W. Rupp, Jeff Mesnil, Pavol Loffay, Antoine Sabot-Durand, Scott Stark

Overview of this book

Eclipse MicroProfile has gained momentum in the industry as a multi-vendor, interoperable, community-driven specification. It is a major disruptor that allows organizations with large investments in enterprise Java to move to microservices without spending a lot on retraining their workforce. This book is based on MicroProfile 2.2, however, it will guide you in running your applications in MicroProfile 3.0. You'll start by understanding why microservices are important in the digital economy and how MicroProfile addresses the need for enterprise Java microservices. You'll learn about the subprojects that make up a MicroProfile, its value proposition to organizations and developers, and its processes and governance. As you advance, the book takes you through the capabilities and code examples of MicroProfile’s subprojects - Config, Fault Tolerance, Health Check, JWT Propagation, Metrics, and OpenTracing. Finally, you’ll be guided in developing a conference application using Eclipse MicroProfile, and explore possible scenarios of what’s next in MicroProfile with Jakarta EE. By the end of this book, you'll have gained a clear understanding of Eclipse MicroProfile and its role in enterprise Java microservices.

Summary

In this chapter, you have learned how Eclipse MicroProfile facilitates cloud-native application development, regardless of whether it is a hybrid cloud or multi-cloud application. We also discussed the relationship between microservices, cloud-native development, and container-native development, and how microservices running on containers are an ideal option for cloud-native development. You also learned how Eclipse MicroProfile relates to the 12-factor app, as well as serverless and FaaS environments.

We covered the eight steps to guide your journey into cloud-native applications and how Eclipse MicroProfile can help at each step. In addition, we discussed what you need to consider when using Eclipse MicroProfile for applications that span across clouds, when to run Eclipse MicroProfile on bare-metal machines versus VMs versus containers, what to consider when running...
