The Java Cloud-Native Stack for Microservices and Serverless Architecture by Markus Kett

Java has been leading for more than 20 years. However, Java is known as complicated, heavy-weight, slow, and for its slow startup time and high RAM consumption. Now, the cloud age has begun and the cloud changes everything. Is Java still suited for the cloud? Are traditional databases still suited for the cloud or is NoSQL the way to go? Can in-memory computing speed up my system and how does Java support it? Is serverless really interesting for Java developers and how do Java and serverless fit together? No worries, the holy grail was already found. A completely new Java stack was created to build real cloud-native apps with Java. Native images with Java, millisecond startup-time, in-memory data processing, up to 1000x faster database queries, highly cost-efficient serverless infrastructure, everything built with pure Java. That's not a vision, it's reality. In this session, you will learn how to build ultra-fast cloud-native apps and microservices with core Java and modern Java micro-frameworks only.
