Baking a Java EE 8 Micro Pi

Session abstract

Microservices are already a popular architecture for new applications, particularly with the modern need for applications to be cloud-native and light enough for the Internet of Things. One of the key challenges of breaking up monoliths into microservices is orchestration. This tutorial looks at some of the brand-new features and APIs in Java EE 8 that can help and presents an interactive Raspberry Pi-based demo that shows how easily messaging can be made cloud-ready with JCA connectors.

My Notes

So my first talk of the day and of JavaOne. I’m curious. It’s a small crowd here. But hidden gems are sometimes found. Something is going wrong. No screen and stuff am about to walk out. Will give it 5 more minutes.
He is started but de demo heavyness has been cancelled I think because of connection problems.

How lightweight is java EE, really?
