Microsoft Azure provides fully managed Cloud SQL databases for use by your Azure hosted cloud services. Payara® Micro is built to be the best runtime for Cloud Native Java EE and MicroProfile applications. Here’s how to rapidly create a REST web service that retrieves data from an Azure SQL Database and returns it as JSON.

The 5.182 release of Payara Server & Payara Micro (Payara Platform) brings in MicroProfile 1.3. This introduces a couple of updates to some existing specifications, and three new ones: OpenTracing, OpenAPI, and Type-safe REST Client. In this blog, I’ll be covering our implementation of the Type-safe REST Client. 

今日、マイクロサービスのコンセプトは単に新しいだけではなくなっています。DevOpsの登場、コンテナ技術ブーム、デプロイ自動化ツールによって、マイクロサービスは開発者が手掛けるアプリケーションの構造を変えつつあります。マイクロサービスはJava EE開発者にとっていかにして有効な選択肢となり得るのか、そしてPayara Microとそれが提供する完璧なプラットフォームによってどのようなメリットが得られるのかについてみてゆきましょう。

In this blog, which follows on from the Cloud Connectors in Payara Micro, we will explain the Microsoft Azure Service Bus connector and how to use it in Payara Server and Payara Micro (the Payara Platform).

Introduction

The 5.182 release of Payara Server & Payara Micro (Payara Platform) brings in MicroProfile (MP) 1.3. This introduces a couple of updates to some existing MP specifications, and three new ones: OpenTracing, OpenAPI, and Type-safe REST Client. In this blog I’ll be covering our implementation of OpenTracing.

Open source software offers a number of advantages over proprietary software. Many businesses prefer open source options as it reduces the procurement barrier. A survey conducted by Black Duck Software and North Bridge revealed that 78% of today’s businesses already rely on open-source software for increased security and the lack of licensing fees. It is estimated that the use of open source saves businesses $60 billion (USD) annually.

One of the new features in Payara Platform version 5.182 is full compatibility with MicroProfile 1.3. In this blog post, I will introduce OpenAPI 1.0, a new API in MicroProfile 1.3. This functionality is available in both Payara Server and Payara Micro in version 5.182. It's also available in version 4.1.2.182 for Payara Support customers.

Recently Ondrej Mihalyi, Payara Support Engineer, spoke at the JPrime conference.  Below you will find his slides from his presentation.
