Since being introduced in the 163 release, the Request Tracing Service has allowed you to see which requests are taking a long time. However, this service will only tell you about requests once they have completed. If a thread is stuck and unable to complete you will not know about it. To resolve that problem, we added the Stuck Threads HealthCheck to Payara Server, which checks for requests that have not finished and outputs their stack trace.

As previously reported on this blog, the Request Tracing Service was improved drastically in release 4.1.1.171 and implemented the configuration of a historic trace record storing for increased productivity purposes. In addition to these changes, we also made the configuration on the Request Tracing Service in Payara Micro for the same release. These changes to Payara Micro make it simpler to configure the Request Tracing Service when starting a new instance!

We're excited to announce that the first Alpha release of Payara Server 5 is now available for download! We highly encourage you to give it a go, test it out and let us know what further improvements are needed. 

Eclipse MicroProfile es una especificación para un conjunto de APIs diseñadas para construir MicroServicios. Este proyecto ha existido desde hace más de un año y es algo con lo que Payara está altamente comprometido. Los lectores a los que les gusta estar al día con las noticias desde a comunidad de Java probablemente serán conscientes de como el proyecto ha progresado a grandes saltos últimamente. Está siendo un camino largo y arduo desde la versión 1.0 a la versión 1.1 de la especificación pero, en este momento, mucho ha sido desarrollado y hay multitud de APIs actualmente en desarrollo.

The Eclipse MicroProfile is a specification for a set of APIs appropriate to building MicroServices. The project has existed for over a year now and is something that Payara is highly committed to. Readers who like to keep up-to-date with news from the Java community will probably already be aware of how the project has progressed in leaps and bounds lately. It's been a long road from version 1.0 to version 1.1 of the specification but, in that time, a lot has developed and there are multiple APIs currently being worked on.
