MicroProfile and the Payara Platform

Jakarta EE runtimes, such as Payara Micro, are lightweight and suitable for microservices development. Read this guide to learn about microservices in terms that make sense to Java EE and Jakarta EE developers, including when a microservices architecture makes sense, and when it doesn’t.

Java Champion, architect, developer, and author Adam Bien demonstrates how to create the smallest, simplest Java microservice possible (about 3.5k) in this 2 Minute Tech Tip.

The goal of MicroProfile is to optimise Java EE / Jakarta EE for a microservice architecture, however, some of the MicroProfile implementations are completely different ‘servers’, like the KumuluzEE server. Watch this presentation to learn how you can migrate easily from your favorite Java EE server to a MicroProfile implementation. Transform your Java EE application to a MicroProfile one using Thorntail, Liberty, Payara Micro and KumuluzEE.

MicroProfile allows you to build scalable applications easily and you can get a variety options for scaling if you add distributed data grids. We’ll analyze what’s possible and how to do it, demonstrating a microservices application based on Payara Micro, which assembles MicroProfile, Hazelcast and other useful tools into a single and easy to use package.

Watch this presentation to learn how to use a few simple tools to build a highly efficient, scalable, and robust system that can be evolved continuously to meet rapidly changing needs and increasing loads. Build lightweight, robust reactive systems efficiently with open source tools such as MicroProfile, RxJava, React.js. Add Kafka and Hazelcast and use Payara Micro to assemble it all together in almost no time.

Learn how to avoid common microservices headaches and discover widely-used design patterns and expert best practices. We’ll show you how these best practices can be implemented in Java EE / Jakarta EE and Payara Micro.
