J4K is an industry leading conference that combines the best of open source and middleware communities for developing Java applications on Kubernetes.

Containers and Kubernetes have been gaining serious traction in the market within the last few years and organizations are now exploring and leveraging the benefits of hybrid and multi-cloud environments. We are at a convergence point where middleware and application services need to be made efficient to run on containers and Kubernetes.

This conference is targeted to developers and industry influencers of middleware and application services on Kubernetes. We ask speakers to include technical demos as part of their session presentations.

CFP Description

We plan to have 5 session tracks. They are (in no particular order):

Track 1 - Applications on cloud, containers and K8s (real life examples)

Some examples are (not an exhaustive list):

  • Optimizing JVM apps to run on containers and K8s
  • Tell us about your journey to make your Java application run effectively on containers and K8s
  • IoT JVM workloads/apps on K8s
  • Lessons learned
  • Best practices
  • Do’s and don’ts
  • Containerized databases
  • Getting-started with Java applications on cloud, containers and K8s
  • How does AI/ML fit in your K8s workloads?

Tack 2 - Frameworks and architectures on cloud, containers and K8s

Some examples are (not an exhaustive list):

  • Microservices with JVM languages, e.g. Java, Kotlin, Scala, Closure, etc.
  • Serverless/FaaS, e.g. Knative + runtimes (Java)
  • Reactive programming in Java
  • Event-driven architectures
  • Live coding, local and remote
  • Programming Java frameworks for containers and K8s, e.g. Jakarta EE, Spring Boot, etc.
  • Java frameworks adept for the cloud, containers and K8s, e.g. MicroProfile, Quarkus, Micronaut, etc.
  • Writing K8s operators in Java
  • Best practices
  • Do’s and don’ts
  • Getting-started with frameworks and architectures for cloud, containers and K8s

Track 3 - Developer tools for cloud, containers and K8s

Some examples are (not an exhaustive list):

  • Debugging tools
  • Profiling tools
  • Performance monitoring and optimization
  • How to develop applications for cloud, containers and K8s
  • Tools that help you develop for cloud, containers and K8s, e.g. skaffold, jib, helm, podman, buildah, kail, stern, etc.
  • IDEs for cloud, containers and K8s, e.g. Eclipse Che
  • Developing build pipelines, how do I take an app and build it through a pipeline, e.g. CI/CD, DevOps, DevSecOps, GitOps
  • Visualizing metrics, monitoring, and tracing of your application
  • Best practices
  • Do’s and don’ts

Track 4 - Practices and other technologies/topics People and Culture

Some examples are (not an exhaustive list):

  • How to get your organization ready for the cloud
  • How to transform your corporate culture to get ready for the cloud
  • Comparative studies/analyses
  • Topics about teaching kids how to program
  • Tell us your story and experience in the IT world
  • Tell us your story and experience being a software developer
  • Tell us how your software work helped improve our society
  • Tell us how you faced the challenges you encountered in the IT world to succeed in it
