Learn how to build and deploy Java-based cloud native apps with Jakarta EE with the MicroProfile framework and Kubernetes. This revamped Second Edition reflects the latest updates in Jakarta EE 11, including enhanced support for creating web APIs with Jakarta REST, concurrency management with Jakarta Concurrency, and data persistence with Jakarta Persistence, while incorporating key changes introduced by MicroProfile 7.0. After a quick overview of Jakarta EE and MicroProfile, Pro Cloud Native Java EE Apps starts you on your way by walking you through a cloud-native Jakarta EE-based application case study that will be forged piece-by-piece over the course of the book. Next, you'll interject dependencies and data persistence capabilities as microservices to go with the case study app that you are building. Then, you will dive into migrating a monolith to become a production-ready cloud-native app. Finally, you will look ahead to the future of Jakarta EE with a NEW chapter on artificial intelligence and large language models, exploring potential use cases for how AI-integration can enhance Jakarta EE capabilities. This revised new edition ensures you are equipped with the most current tools and techniques to develop forward-looking, cloud-native apps. What You Will Learn ● Build and deploy a production-ready cloud-native Java app using MicroProfile, Jakarta EE and Kubernetes ● Migrate a monolith app to become a cloud-native app ● Employ Jakarta EE APIs such as Persistence, CDI and more ● Leverage the MicroProfile framework ● Explore configurations, resilience, metrics, health, security, and more for your cloud-native apps ● Discover how Jakarta EE integrates with AI and LLMs. Who This Book is for: Those software developers and programmers with at least some prior experience using Jakarta EE, MicroProfile. At least some prior Java experience is expected.
