GraalVM and Microservices: The Last Crusade & Quarkus in Real-World Deployments

No 26º encontro do Coimbra JUG, vamos ter duas apresentações sobre duas novas tecnologias que tem estado a gerar bastante interesse na comunidade: GraalVM e Quarkus, pelo Roberto Cortez e Bruno Baptista.

GraalVM and Microservices: The Last Crusade (45 m)

Using microservices is a popular way to develop applications in a polyglot manner. This creates additional challenges. You have to manage several runtimes and require a language-agnostic protocol to achieve integration between services. Is there a better alternative? GraalVM is a game-changer technology that provides direct interoperability between programming languages such as Java, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, and R. This session describes the quest to simplify microservices development by leveraging GraalVM as a shared runtime. The presentation uses Eclipse MicroProfile to provide a standard specification for developing, securing, documenting, probing, and tracing microservices.

Quarkus in Real-World Deployments (45 m)

Quarkus created quite a buzz in the enterprise Java ecosystem this year. Like all other developers, this session’s speakers were curious about this new technology and saw a lot of potential in it. They dived right in and started using it in one of their new applications. In this session, they show you how to use it to develop a microservice archiitecture by mixing technologies such as MicroProfile, Camel, InfluxDB, and RabbitMQ and deploy it with GraalVM and Kubernetes. Finally, they present a retrospective about adopting such a new technology, how they code, the main challenges they have faced, how the developer experience compares to other technologies’, what the community is like, and what the weakest points are.
