Nowadays, the concept of microservices is more than a simple novelty. With the advent of DevOps and the boom of container technologies and deployment automation tools, microservices are changing the way developers structure their applications. With this article, our intention is to illustrate...

Hello and welcome to the first issue of our monthly round up where we feature a curated list of interesting articles and videos created by the community in the last month that we have enjoyed taking in.

The 5.191 Payara Platform release brought with it support for MicroProfile 2.1. For those who don't know, the only specification updated in this version of MicroProfile was OpenTracing, going from 1.1 to 1.2.

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.

In November, my friend Milen Dyankov started it all by inviting me to come to Warsaw to give a talk at a local developer meetup (sponsored by Liferay, Milen's employer). After attending several big conferences during the year, coming to talk at a much smaller event sounded quite relaxing!...

In the previous blog of this series, we learned different ways to troubleshoot Java EE application. This blog will continue to focus on different ways and techniques to catch potential issues in the early stages and how to find the root cause of application performance issues.

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,...

For some time now there has been an undeniable growth of interest for Microservices, as somewhat evidenced by the following graph from Google Trends:

Having previously blogged about setting up data sources in Payara Server, we thought we should mention that you can also set up data sources in Payara Micro. In this blog, we'll take you through the process of setting up a data source using Payara Micro, including code snippets and where to find...
