Modern Java EE Microservices with WildFly Swarm

Most of you have heard by now about Spring Boot, the hottest thing in Java since sliced bread. It's an integrated way to create microservices in Java by using APIs from Spring ecosystem. But you may not have heard yet about Wildfly Swarm, which is an alternative way to create microservices by using JavaEE APIs. In fact, Wildfly Swarm is a simple to use framework that automatically detects the dependencies your application needs of the JavaEE APIs, and then automatically wraps around your code only as much of the application server as your application needs. In addition, it provides implementations of various services that properly designed microservice needs for automatic discovery, and availability.

We'll dive into the ins and outs of Wildfly Swarm as well as look how you can use it to deploy your app to public cloud, in our last meetup before summer break with our otherwise master of ceremony Tomaž Cerar.
