Cloud Native Java with Open Liberty and OpenShift

By Reza Rahman

Elevator Pitch

In this demo-heavy and mostly slide-free session we will show first-hand how to run Open Liberty on Azure managed OpenShift. We will demo in real time how to stand up a cluster quickly and deploy a realistic Java EE/Jakarta EE/MicroProfile application that integrates with some services on the cloud.

Description

Jakarta EE and MicroProfile have come a long way to become effective APIs for cloud native applications. Open Liberty is one of the best examples of this with its focus on being lightweight, modular, container-friendly and high-performance. Similarly OpenShift is one of the most productive and feature rich ways of running Kubernetes. Jakarta EE, MicroProfile, Liberty and OpenShift is a killer combination.

In this fast-faced, demo-heavy and mostly slide-free session we will show first-hand how to run Liberty on OpenShift. We will demo in real time how to stand up a cluster quickly and deploy a realistic Jakarta EE/MicroProfile application that integrates with some services on the cloud such as database, directory server, cache or log aggregator. The demos will use Azure as an example. At the end of the session, you will have all the demos available on GitHub so you can explore them on your own!
