Lightweight Enterprise Java with MicroProfile

Jean-Louis laughs at people that tell him that Java is slow, heavyweight and cumbersome. Maybe it was true when we had EJB2. He will prove you that we can develop Enterprise Applications with just a few lines of code that can run in a Raspberry PI. If it runs in a PI, we can safely say it would run anywhere! To be able to do it, Jean-Louis is going to use a new platform called Microprofile. Microprofile optimizes Enterprise Java for a Microservices Architecture and delivers application portability across multiple runtimes. You can use a subset of the Java EE specifications to develop Microprofile applications, with JAX-RS, CDI, and JSON-P and later evolve it with Config, OpenAPI, Metrics, Tracing and JWTs. Join Jean-Louis for this live coding session and help him spread the word that Java is actually great for the Enterprise.
