HiJakarta EEandMicroProfilecommunity! It's time for the August Payara Monthly Catch. 

Java 21 is coming next month. That means - virtual threads! Project Panama! Sequenced collections! This month, we round up all the interesting articles about Java 21 and beyond, all in one place. See below for your reading list. We also have been working on applying features like Virtual Threads in a Jakarta EE context.

It's also the month we launched a free trial of our fully managed Jakarta EE cloud native application runtime, Payara Cloud. You can now try it out for free, with 15 days available to you as a trial. Check it outhere. 

In this webinar Jakarta EE experts Otavio Santana (Java Champion & Software Engineer) and Luqman Saeed (Payara Tech Writer)  explore the power of Payara and Microservices to develop ultrafast applications, diving into live coding with Jakarta EE and MicroProfile, leveraging the latest specifications, such as Jakarta Data and Jakarta NoSQL.

Additionally, they showcase the seamless integration of these technologies with the Microstream database, enabling lightning-fast persistence for your applications. Whether you are a seasoned developer or new to these technologies, this session will provide valuable insights and practical examples to accelerate your application development.

It's time for the July Payara Monthly Catch. 

This month's pick includes:

• Advice on contributing to open source

Implementing the correct security patterns is a common challenge that most application developers and consultants can get wrong in even the most common of scenarios. Reinventing the wheel is a common pattern that DevOps engineers do when integrating security solutions inside their applications (authentication, password validation, identity management, correct storage of user data, etc.). Keycloak is an open-source identity management solution that focuses on offloading this burden from DevOps engineers, allowing them to focus on the business aspects of their applications and simplifying their solutions in the long run. 

This talk (see below!) from Fabio Turizo, Senior Engineer at Payara, will focus on the benefits of using such a service with an enterprise application, with a live demonstration of a small application that uses the Eclipse MicroProfile APIs to correctly integrate it with Keycloak by way of the OpenIDConnect standards.
