MicroProfile

For those who did not come across Eclipse MicroProfile yet, let me give you a quick introduction. In 2016, a group of vendors and individuals started an initiative to optimize Enterprise Java for a microservices architecture.

I have written and talked a lot about why reactive programming matters. It’s always been a topic of personal interest for me. I’m not only an engineer but also a perfectionist and I’ve always wanted my applications to be perfect, easy-to-use and pleasant to work with. Building reactive applications is one way to achieve this perfection.

As 2019 is in full swing, let's reflect on the highlights of improvements for the Payara Platform in 2018 and review the plans for enhancements and changes coming in 2019.

Have you ever been in a situation where something not-so-good happened, and you looked back and said “man, I wish I had….” Most of us can think of a time in our lives when we had the opportunity to prevent an undesirable outcome by acting – and didn’t. For example, have you ever planned a trip and declined the purchase of travel insurance, only to find out you have to cancel the trip? You wished you had paid the extra expense to get the insurance, right? Many businesses find themselves in a similar situation when they take a reactive approach to their IT support needs, waiting until a problem presents itself before finding the resources to solve it. Unfortunately, this reactive response to support ends up costing you more in downtime, resources, efficiency and money in the long run.

This short video introduces two of our apprentices who are currently also studying for a degree in Technology.  They talk about what they are learning, the challenges they face, their future plans, what they enjoy and what they are currently working on. If you are currently considering a Degree Apprenticeship we hope this may prove helpful. 

Eclipse GlassFish 5.1 がついに正式リリースされました。

Today Eclipse GlassFish 5.1 has been released, and unlike the modest increase in version number might suggest, this truly marks a major milestone. Not just for the GlassFish project itself, but for Java EE and moving Jakarta EE forward even more.

Logging is one of the key concepts for successfully running your applications. It tells you what your application and server is doing. And of course, logging is the first place you should look when things go wrong.

In this getting started blog around logging, I will explain you the basic concepts of the Payara Server logging module. This should help you get started in the logging journey. (Click here to read the rest of our Getting Started blog posts).
