In the second of our iO Virtual Meetups our guest speaker Emily Jiang, Liberty Microservice Architect, Advocate and Java Champion, tackled the modern and open way to build cloud-native microservices and the programming models available.

You may have heard about Eclipse MicroProfile and are wanting to find out more. In this session you’ll learn:

  • - everything you need to know about MicroProfile (including a demo)

  • - how to package the MicroProfile in to a Docker container and deploy it to a Kubernetes cluster

  • - and finally, how to use Istio to manage your microservice interactions

Listen to this session to develop your in-depth knowledge about MicroProfile and how you can use it to build well-performed microservices. After this session, you will understand how to best develop Cloud Native Microservices by using MicroProfile and how to work well with Cloud infrastructure, such as Kubernetes and Istio.
