Session
Jakarta EE is looking to “build an open source ecosystem for cloud native enterprise Java” while MicroProfile is “optimizing enterprise Java for a microservices architecture”. They are both open, collaborative, and community-driven initiatives looking to define and develop the next-generation of open cloud-native Java APIs for all … from developers, user groups, enthusiasts to vendors. In this session, we will take a look at how Jakarta EE and MicroProfile came about, what they offer to developers and users today, what they mean to you, what’s next for open cloud-native Java APIs, and how you can get involved.
