Ivar's Topic: Boost Performance and Developer Productivity with Jakarta EE 11
Jakarta EE 11 is the first release of Jakarta EE after the new release cadence was introduced. The goal is to release a version of Jakarta EE around six to nine months after an LTS release of Java SE. With Java 21 released in September 2023, Jakarta EE 11 will be released around in the Summer of 2024.

What are the updates? Are there any new specifications introduced? What about removals? Will there be another namespace change? How will the impact of this release be on other frameworks and technologies, such as Spring, Apache Tomcat, Hibernate, and more?

Come to this session to get all these questions and more answered to be prepared for the increased performance and developer productivity delivered by Jakarta EE 11.
