Episode 41. on Java EE Guardians, Jakarta EE vs Microprofile, JDK 13, and JavaFX.

So first, a big Welcome for the “Enterprise Java Newscast” to joining the “Pub House Network”, a series of podcast and content created by developers for developers. Everyone is happy about the partnership and we can expect Enterprise Java Newscast great content as always.

Joining on this episode is a new pundit, but known in the Java OffHeap podcast world and proud Java EE Guardian, Josh Juneau! Both Kito and Josh waste no time discussing Jakarta EE, Guardians, Microprofile and what it all means for Enterprise Java. We also dive into new platform releases (JDK 13 is out, and JDK 14 is EA).

Discussion

Questions for Steven:

  • How long have been in your new role
  • What is your Java/middleware experience
  • Tell us your perspective on microprofile.io
  • How about EE4J
  • What is the advantage of Wildfly/JBoss domain mode now that containerization exists (e.g. multiple standalone hosts on Docker for example with same configuration in mod_cluster environment)?
  • Docker swarm vs. Kubernetes – what are the differences/benefits?
  • What are the most popular open source projects at Red Hat these days?
  • What some of your favorite projects at Red Hat right now
  • Coming from Kubernetes land can you tell us some more about containers
  • What are you most excited about right now – it’s an awesome time to be a Java developer. Actually may be the best time EVER.
  • What areas does OpenShift actually cover? (i.e. how does it compare to AWS, Google Cloud Services, Azure, etc.)
