MicroProfile OpenTracing with Jaeger
The MicroProfile OpenTracing specification defines behaviours and an API for accessing an OpenTracing compliant Tracer object within your JAX-RS application. The behaviours specify how incoming and outgoing requests will have OpenTracing Spans automatically created. The API defines how to explicitly disable or enable tracing for given endpoints.
Jaeger, inspired by Dapper and OpenZipkin, is a distributed tracing system released as open source by Uber Technologies. It is used for monitoring and troubleshooting microservices-based distributed systems.

How To Bring Your Java Microservices To The Cloud
All companies are software companies, and businesses will always experience the challenge of keeping integrations between users and applications scalable, productive, fast, and of high quality.
To combat this, cloud, microservices, and other modern solutions come up more and more in architectural decisions.
Here is the question: Is Java prepared to deal with these diverse concepts in a corporate environment?

Java Predictions for 2021: Jakarta EE
To celebrate the world of Java and predict our highlights for 2021, several key Foojay participants will share their thoughts and hopes during the coming days on Foojay, starting with Frank Delporte, Foojay Community Manager for the Raspberry Pi, and now continuing with Jadon Ortlepp, Foojay Community Manager for Microservices, who here provides the predictions of his Payara colleagues on Jakarta EE in 2021.
“Jakarta EE will start driving improvements in APIs and Project Loom will drive new releases of many frameworks.”

Cloud Myth: Ahead of Time Compilation Will Save You Money
The two main advantages of Java AOT natively compiled microservice frameworks are rapid boot times and reduced JVM memory usage. While technically impressive, the reality is that neither of these advantages delivers a significant economic or technical advantage when deploying to public clouds.
Many Jakarta EE runtimes (like Payara Micro) are small and fast. They can run Jakarta EE applications as either monoliths or microservices in the cloud now, with no need to adapt or rewrite your applications to proprietary frameworks.

MicroProfile Metrics with Prometheus and Grafana
In a distributed microservices architecture, it is important to have an overview of your systems in terms of CPU, memory management and other important metrics.
This is called Observability, measuring the internal state of a system, in this case, the micro-services instances.
The goal of MicroProfile Metrics is to expose monitoring data from the implementation in a unified way. It also defines a Java API so that the developer can define and supply his own values.

Securing Microservices with Auth0 and MicroProfile in Kubernetes
In this day and age, securing enterprise platforms is a challenge that developers and consultants tackle in an uninformed manner, producing subpar solutions in most cases.
This presentation by Ondrej Mihalyi at DevOpsCon showcases the strength of combining MicroProfile and an OAuth service by doing a live demonstration of securing enterprise Java microservices in Kubernetes.

Evolution of Microservices
For some time now, there has been an undeniable growth in interest for Microservices. The core concept itself, however, is not that new.
Microservices are an architectural type that builds on (mostly) RESTful web services. Where RESTful web services, in general, can be used for just about anything, for instance, to expose an API to external users, Microservices are specifically dedicated to be independent business services that together form a suite of such services that make up an application.
