I hope you enjoy the article and news round up this month, as usual their was a lot to talk about in the Jakarta EE & MicroProfile space, as well as Java as a whole. You may notice a slight shift in emphasis towards Security themed articles this month which I hope you find useful.

As usual, it was a busy month. With some big announcements from Microsoft and Oracle (see News section), the Jakarta EE 9 release, as well as Developer Survey results published by JetBrains, Eclipse and Snyk. We also had a major release ourselves. Sifting through the content I had a sense of renewed optimism and progress in the Java community.

All companies are software companies, and businesses will always experience the challenge of keeping integrations between users and applications scalable, productive, fast, and of high quality. To combat this, cloud, microservices, and other modern solutions come up more and more in architectural decisions. Here is the question: Is Java prepared to deal with these diverse concepts in a corporate environment?

I was very determined this month to try and get this blog out on time! A lot has happened this month! Java 14 was released. Some virus thingy means everyone is working from home. Conferences and events are almost all cancelled all delayed, globally. Some have transitioned to virtual events.

In this day and age, securing enterprise platforms is a challenge that developers and consultants tackle in an uninformed manner, producing subpar solutions in most cases. To combat this pattern, third-party security services such as Auth0 have been devised to externalize the security of services, and they focus on stable implementations of common enterprise use cases (identity management, OAuth compatibility, and so on), and platforms such as Eclipse MicroProfile allow for their easy integration with enterprise Java microservices. Moreover, in combination with Kubernetes, MicroProfile is a very powerful tool to simplify securing microservices, monitoring them and creating reproducible deployments.
