Craft Fully Open Imperative and Reactive Cloud-Native Microservices

In this engaging hands-on lab, you will delve into the world of both imperative (REST-based) and reactive (event-driven) cloud-native Java microservices. We will guide you through the process of writing, building, testing, and running these microservices in cloud environments utilizing MicroProfile and Jakarta EE powered by Open Liberty. Moreover, we will examine how the new innovative feature of Liberty remarkably enhances the startup performance using CRIU and scalability of your microservices.
