In this getting started blog around logging, I will explain you the basic...

The goal of MicroProfile.IO is to optimise Java EE for a micro-service architecture. It is based on some of the Java EE specifications and standardise a few technologies from the micro-services space.

Payara Server provides many metrics within JMX beans. The most interesting metrics are the statistics around pools for HTTP threads and JDBC Connection pooling.

On the other hand, Payara Server also implements the MicroProfile Metrics specification. The retrieval of useful metrics from the...

In a distributed micro-services architecture, it is important to have an overview of your systems in terms of CPU, memory management and other important metrics.

The JVM Conference is a smaller conference with two tracks. But smaller doesn’t mean it is not worth attending. There is a very broad variety in topics from plain Java SE, backend development, to micro-services and containers in cloud environments with sessions aimed at Java programmers,...

With the new release cadence of a major release of Java every 6 months, which was introduced a year ago with Java 9, a lot of uncertainty about an update strategy arose.

The announcement that the Java EE projects would be open-sourced completely came about a year ago now, meaning the Java (EE) community would receive control over it.
