The use of the microservices architecture pattern has become increasingly popular in software development in recent years. With its ability to improve scalability, agility, and resilience, especially in a cloud native era, microservices have become an obvious choice for many organizations across different industries. This architecture paradigm also comes with its own challenges such as increased complexity, development, and infrastructure costs among others.

This round-table panel discussion brings together renowned experts from the Jakarta EE (formerly Java EE) community to share their experiences and insights on microservices. The discussions will include:

- The benefits of microservices and when it’s a better choice

- The challenges and common pitfalls of microservices

- How can microservices be designed, tested, and deployed effectively in a cloud native era?

- Can microservices help optimize DevOps?

- What are some security considerations to have in mind when adopting microservices?

The panellists will also share their perspectives and insights on the future of microservices and its role in the rapidly evolving tech landscape, especially in the Jakarta EE ecosystem. By attending this event, you will gain valuable insights into the benefits and challenges of microservices, as well as practical tips for implementing and managing them effectively. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions to the panellists. Make sure you don't miss this exciting discussion!

Performance Tuning Java Applications

"Bootiful Spring Boot 3" (Josh Long)

"What the heck is Project Loom?" (Deepu K Sasidharan) & "The World of Java Optimisation" (Holly Cummins)

Java is Very Fast if you Don't Create Too Many Objects

This webinar is based on Peter Lawrey's remarkably popular article. While Java developers are familiar with the impact that garbage collection pauses, they may not realise that allocating objects could sap throughput by 10x or more, especially for very short-lived objects.

DK 19 was released on 20th September, including preview or incubator features like virtual threads, structured concurrency, record patterns, foreign function, memory API, and support for Linux/RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA).

This session aims to put into perspective how these changes, together with bug fixes, deprecations, and removals, will motivate your next Java version migration and, thus, the extensibility and performance of your applications.

Many myths and misconceptions surround the concept of ‘serverless.’ It’s the latest industry buzzword - but what does it mean, and how does it apply to Jakarta EE?

In this webinar, Payara Services CEO and Founder Steve Millidge will give a demonstration of what serverless can look like in a Jakarta EE environment.

Steve will explain what a truly “Serverless” solution consists of: how the user does not need to worry about application servers, instances, domains, hosts, docker containers or any of the traditional concepts. He will explain how serverless can be brought about and its benefits, as well as demonstrating it on a runtime 100% designed for Jakarta EE and MicroProfile: Payara Cloud.

Products like Payara Cloud demonstrate how Jakarta EE is first for cloud native enterprise Java. This webinar will deepen your understanding of the cloud native ecosystem that surrounds what was formerly Java EE, with a use case of one of the many ways Java is perfect for cloud computing.

NODES is a free online graph tech conference for developers across the globe. It's taking place on November 16 and 17 during 24 hours across all timezones and serves beginners and experts alike.

Title: Your Java Code in the Fastlane: Creating a Million Virtual Threads Using Project Loom to Improve Throughput | 

Abstract:

Project Loom introduces virtual threads, lightweight threads that aim to dramatically reduce the effort of writing, maintaining, and monitoring high-throughput concurrent applications with the Java platform.

We need threads to achieve high throughput. However, threads are not cheap and are limited in number. To get around this problem, various alternatives, such as the reactive programming style, have emerged. These techniques bypass creating a lot of threads at the expense of more difficult debugging. This makes developers grumpy. However, with virtual threads, we get the best of both worlds, cheap, lightweight threads and easy debugging, which would make developers happy again.

This talk will explore what virtual threads are, how they are implemented, how they solve our modern problems and what, if any, shortcomings there are.

We are very happy to welcome Java Champion Adam Bien with the following topic in cooperation with the DGO in the canteen of the OTH Weiden:

From Thin WARs to Fat Lambdas

Serverless is on everyone's lips right now and seems to be a great solution for many use cases. But what does this mean for Java? How can you implement serverless with Java in a meaningful way?
Adam will show - in his usual relaxed way - why Java is a great fit for Serverless and AWS Lambdas. Bring your questions! We wish for an interactive evening with you!

Process: 17:30h get together - with free drinks and appetizers

1830h Interactive Lecture: From Thin WARs to Fat Lambdas

We are very pleased to welcome Karsten Thomas with the following topic (online via Zoom):

Eclipse IDE - Alive and Kicking ?

Answers to the question of which IDE (Java) developers prefer sometimes seem almost religious in nature. There is no question that IntelliJ IDEA is now the top dog. Eclipse has changed little in terms of its basic appearance over the years and looks at least a bit dusty on the outside. A facelift would definitely be a good thing. But is their sometimes bad reputation justified?

Admittedly, I've worked almost exclusively with Eclipse in the past and, like everyone else, I'm a bit biased. In the last two years, on the other hand, I have been working almost exclusively with IntelliJ in my projects. And yes, I like quite a few things about it and would like to see one or two in Eclipse as well. And yet Eclipse still offers its advantages. As always, it always depends on the nature of the projects which tool is a better choice.

The Eclipse IDE is now over 20 years old. At the core, there are many sources that go back to this time and it is like this project that existing APIs cannot be radically changed. This sometimes gets in the way of innovation, and yet there is continuous evolution in this project.

In this session, I want to give you a fresh look at the open-source development environment. I'll show you a few useful features that have been added in the past releases. And some significant changes are not directly visible as UI features. In addition, I will make some comparisons with other IDEs, specifically IDEA and VSCode, showing some desirable improvements.

Speakers:
Karsten Thoms works as a senior software engineer for Karakun GmbH in Dortmund. Karsten has been working with Java since version 1.0 and over the years has gained experience in the development of Java-based systems, especially in the areas of enterprise applications and integrated toolchains. Over the years he was particularly involved in the development of model-based tools and contributed to the development of the language development framework Xtext. This gave rise to an interest in getting involved in the development of the Eclipse IDE, for which he has been a committer for several years, as long as the current projects allow it.

In his current projects, he is again using the typical enterprise technologies, mostly on the SpringBoot stack, and feels comfortable there.

==========================================

Wir freuen uns sehr Karsten Thomas mit folgendem Thema begrüßen zu dürfen (online via Zoom):

Eclipse IDE - Alive and Kicking ?

Antworten auf die Frage danach, welche IDE (Java) Entwickler bevorzugen, wirken machmal schon fast religiöser Natur. Keine Frage, IntelliJ IDEA ist mittlerweile sicher der Platzhirsch. Eclipse hat sich vom grundlegenden Aussehen über die Jahre her wenig verändert und wirkt äußerlich zumindest etwas angestaubt. Ein Facelifting würde da sicher mal gut tun. Doch ist ihr teilweise schlechter Ruf gerechtfertigt?

Zugegeben, ich habe in der Vergangenheit quasi ausschließlich mit Eclipse gearbeitet und bin wie alle etwas voreingenommen. Die letzten beiden Jahre arbeite ich dagegen in meinen Projekten fast ausschließlich mit IntelliJ. Und ja, ich mag einiges daran und würde mir das eine oder andere auch in Eclipse wünschen. Und dennoch bietet Eclipse auch so seine Vorzüge. Wie immer kommt es auch immer auf die Natur der Projekte an, welches Tool eine bessere Wahl ist.

Die Eclipse IDE ist nun über 20 Jahre alt. Im Kern finden sich viele Sourcen, die so noch auf diese Zeit zurück gehen und es liegt in der Natur dieses Projekts, dass bestehende APIs nicht radikal verändert werden können. Das steht der Innovation manchmal etwas im Weg, und dennoch findet eine kontinuierliche Evolution in diesem Projekt statt.

Ich werde in dieser Session möchte ich euch nun einen frischen Blick auf die quelloffene Entwicklungsumgebung geben. Dabei zeige ich euch ein paar nützliche Features, die in den vergangenen Releases hinzugekommen sind. Und manche signifikante Änderung ist nicht direkt als UI Feature sichtbar. Darüber hinaus werde ich ein paar Vergleiche anderen IDEs, speziell IDEA und VSCode, ziehen und damit ein paar wünschenswerte Verbesserungen aufzeigen.

In seinen aktuellen Projekten ist er wieder mehr mit den typischen Enterprise Technologien unterwegs, meist auf dem SpringBoot Stack, und fühlt sich dort auch wohl.

Devnexus is the annual conference of the Atlanta JUG. It is one of the biggest Java conferences in the US.

In this webinar collaboration by Payara and AtomicJar, you will learn about the best practices for integration testing for Jakarta EE applications.

One major issue when developing modern enterprise applications is the "works on my machine" problem: when an application works well on your machine but is not functional in production or even on a colleague's machine. An even more prevalent problem is to maintain the quality of ever-changing applications during development and maintenance.

This is especially prevalent when Jakarta EE applications are developed and not properly tested in an isolated and cohesive manner. Proper integration testing helps to avoid both the "works on my machine" problem, and ensures developers can change the application effectively without breaking it. However often teams struggle with it, due to a lack of standardized testing solutions and the unpredictability of real-world conditions.

Payara Service Manager Fabio Turizo and AtomicJar Lead Developer Advocate Oleg Šelajev present an effective method for Jakarta EE integration testing, using Payara Platform and Testcontainers.

We are very happy to welcome Marcus Noerder-Tuitje with the following topic (online via Zoom):

Hitchhikers Guide to the Java Performance

If the developed software does not meet the performance requirements or even runs unstable, then the causes must be analyzed quickly. The many Java profiling and analysis tools can help here. But what is an effective approach to avoid poking around in the fog for days on end? How, for example, are GC logs created and analyzed? How do I find memory leaks in heap dumps before the server runs out of steam? How are thread dumps interpreted and do dead locks or thread content problems exist? Are SQL hotspots or transaction locks slowing down my application? This session will show how to systematically get an overview of the runtime behavior of an application in order to then be able to go into detailed analysis.

Wir freuen uns sehr Marcus Noerder-Tuitje mit folgendem Thema begrüßen zu dürfen (online via Zoom):

Hitchhikers Guide to the Java Performance

Wenn die entwickelte Software nicht den Performance-Ansprüchen genügt oder gar instabil läuft, dann müssen zügig die Ursachen analysiert werden. Hierbei helfen die vielen Java-Profiling- und -Analysewerkzeuge. Aber welches ist eine effektive Vorgehensweise, um nicht tagelang im Nebel zu stochern? Wie werden zum Beispiel GC-Logs erstellt und analysiert? Wie finde ich Memory Leaks in Heap Dumps, bevor dem Server die Puste ausgeht? Wie werden Thread Dumps interpretiert und existieren eventuell Dead Locks oder Thread-Content-Probleme? Bremsen eventuell SQL-Hotspots oder Transaktionssperren meine Anwendung aus? In dieser Session wird gezeigt, wie man sich systematisch einen Überblick über das Laufzeitverhalten einer Anwendung verschafft, um anschließend gezielt in die Detailanalyse gehen zu können.

We are delighted to welcome Falk Sippach with the following topic (online via Zoom, talk in German):

Java 17 - What can we expect in the latest LTS version?

For several years now, new Java major releases have been coming out every six months. This procedure has established itself and works amazingly well. Of course, you can't expect the feature set of the earlier versions (9 and older). But as a developer you get the latest changes much more regularly. In the preview phases, you can even give feedback and thus help shape the active further development of Java. Long-term support versions are also released every three years, which are supplied with updates and patches for longer. In September 2021 with the version 17 such a LTS release came out again, for which in the last 3 years a lot of interesting new functions were developed:
* Switch Expressions
* Text Blocks
* Pattern Matching for instanceof
* Helpful NullPointerExceptions
* Records
* Sealed Classes
* and some more
In this talk, we'll also look at helpful API improvements and changes to the JVM, such as garbage collectors. If you are not yet at Java 11 or higher, this will also give you a compact overview of how Java currently feels.

Join Nicolas Fränkel (Hazelcast developer advocate) and Rudy De Busscher (Payara Project Manager) for an informative and practical webinar on how to query your Hazelcast Data with SQL within Payara Micro.

The Hazelcast In-Memory Data Grid is an efficient way of storing data in a distributed way within the memory of the different processes of the cluster. The distributed design, however, means that searching the data locally in your process is not efficient. All data needs to be ‘moved’ to your instance so that it can be accessed. Hazelcast allows distributed queries so that the search is performed where the data is, and only the results are transferred to your process. With Hazelcast SQL, the Distributed Query capabilities are wrapped in another well-known concept by developers and easier to use. Since the Payara products already use Hazelcast IMDG, using the Hazelcast SQL capabilities is straightforward. You only need to add the additional JAR library and can start using it.

Questions are encouraged and we will be saving time towards the end of the session to answer any queries you might have.
