How Java EE development has kept up with microservices
Java EE is mature technology, but it will continue to evolve in ways that can fit nicely into a microservices architecture.
More Highlights
- Understand business logic to fortify microservices design
Before software teams introduce microservices, they must take a critical look at the business logic that frames their architecture because, as contexts change, so does the logic.
- How to manage distributed apps built on microservices
Distributed applications can clearly benefit from the architectural benefits of microservices, but that has traditionally come with certain drawbacks. Discover how it's become easier to manage distributed applications built on microservices due to advancements in container technology.
- How to move beyond REST for microservices communication
Despite its popularity, REST isn't always the best protocol for microservices communication. There are other options that may be a better fit.

- API economy
API economy (application programming interface economy) is a general term that describes the way application programming interfaces (APIs) can positively affect an organization's profitability.
- software stack
A software stack is a collection of independent components that work together to support the execution of an application. The components, which may include an operating system, architectural layers, protocols, run-time environments, databases and function calls, are stacked one on top of each other in a hierarchy. Typically, the lower level components in the hierarchy interact with hardware, while the higher level components in the hierarchy perform specific tasks for the end user.
- microservices
Microservices, or microservice architecture, is an approach to application development in which a large application is built as a suite of modular components or services.
