Eclipse MicroProfile for Cloud Native applications
Thursday, June 7 – Day 1 - 15:00 - Room 2
Conventional wisdom has it that Java EE is a bad starting point for building Java Microservices, but conventional thinking isn’t relevant to the new wave of applications. It isn’t that Java EE isn’t a good choice (after all most microservice frameworks build on parts of it), it is that it hasn’t been growing fast enough to address the problems Microservice architecture present. In 2016, several Java EE server companies, and Java user groups got together to start the MicroProfile initiative to help kick start solving these new problems. Join this session to learn how these new open source, open standard API’s can provide a platform for Java based Microservices that doesn’t tie the success of your server to a single company.
