  Spin is a new open source framework for building and running cloud microservices with WebAssembly which run on the Fermyon Cloud. Fermyon has also released an SDK for . NET. First, WebAssembly was touted as a runtime that would be embedded into every major web browser in order to write code in any language that could be compiled to its bytecode format. Because of that, the popular browsers would be able to execute not just JavaScript but also compiled binaries, hence the second property that was attached to it;the Javascript killer. . full article on i-programmer: https://www.i-programmer.info/news/87-web-development/16023-spin-brings-webassembly-to-the-cloud.html

 Helidon, the open source microservices framework by Oracle, has been updated to version 3. At the same time a new side project, Helidon Nima, introduces virtual thread support. Helidon sprang up back in 2018 from the lack of agility of Java/Jakarta EE in building microservices. Sure you could do that, but not in the most efficient way. Thus at Oracle they thought of a framework designed from the ground up for building microservices would be more efficient. In order to stay close to the Java EE spirit, Helidon was made to implement the Microprofile standard, widely used in Java EE environments. full article on i-programmer: https://www.i-programmer.info/news/80-java/15782-helidon-for-microservices-flies-high.html

 After a lot of iterations and false starts in terms of dates, Jakarta EE 10 is finally here and primarily focused on the Cloud and microservices. Jakarta EE finds itself mostly used in an Enterprise setting. That property is embodied in its name after all - EE for Enterprise Edition. Born in 2017 out of Java EE when Oracle contributed it to the Eclipse Foundation, it was subsequently relaunched as Jakarta EE as well as open-sourced. What it essentially represents, is Java's ability of modernizing, but at the same time keeping ties with the past - a quality highly sought after by those enterprise environments. At its core Jakarta EE is a both a framework and a collection of APIs mainly for developing Web services as well as enabling interoperability between distributed systems. Its versatility lies in that, while you can use it in building microservices, you can also use it in developing monoliths. In fact, Jakarta EE underpins many such infrastructure technologies: full article on...

  What Kalix Platform-as-a-Service promises is massive - a way to write cloud applications based on Kubernetes under a unified API abstracting the lower layers away. We know that Kubernetes is magic, but at the same time hard - hard to setup, hard to configure, hard to operate, hard to write applications on, and this difficulty is a reason of why many are reluctant to let go of their monolith for the microservices world: “Complexity in the cloud ecosystem is slowing down engineering and development teams,” said Jonas Bonér, Lightbend’s founder and CEO. “Kubernetes does an excellent job managing, orchestrating, and ensuring availability and scalability of containers, but that’s only half the story. ”There needs to be an equal investment in the application layer to make it easier for the developer to build complete applications that take full advantage of all the excellent underlying cloud infrastructure we have at our disposal. Kalix is the solution to this critical issue.” Und...

  Liberica Native Image Kit is a utility for making native images for the JVM, letting you compile applications to executables using the GraalVM native-image compiler. As a refresher on what a native image is Native image is the executable binary file that contains your application, all its dependencies, and runtime components, allowing you to run your JVM based program on any supported configuration without the need for installing runtime or any setup. Native image is the easiest way to distribute your program and start it up faster. Native images have several advantages over JVM interpreted applications:  Almost instant startup time Optimized resource consumption and smaller static footprint Does not require JVM for execution  But why go for GraalVM over packaging your app with say Launch4J or javapackager?  full article on i-programmer: https://www.i-programmer.info/news/80-java/15284-making-graalvm-based-executables-easy.html

Quarkus, the Java framework for microservices initially released by RedHat in March 2019, has reached version 2.7.1. But before looking at what's new, let's take a look at what Quarkus does differently and how it contributes to the current popularity of Java. Describing Quakus as a "Java framework for microservices" isn't 100% accurate. Despite the fact that Quarkus was created with microservices in mind, you can also build monoliths with it. Also, while Java is the primary language, you can write Quarkus programs in Kotlin and Scala as well. Quarkus, together with Micronaut and Helidon, is part of a new league of open-source frameworks that have sprung up in the last few years in order to boost the usage of Java in the microservices world. Java supremacy in this arena was under threat due to the bloat that existing frameworks were burdened with - hundreds of class files required, resolving dependencies at runtime, use of reflection, large memory footprint, extend...

 Micronaut 3.2 Released for More Performant Microservices Micronaut, the JVM-based polyglot framework for building microservices applications in Java, Kotlin and Groovy has reached version 3. 2. Before we look at what's new, let's first take a look at what the framework does differently. Yes, there's other options of going Microservices than the combination of Spring Boot and Spring Cloud. Helidon, Dropwizard, Microprofile and Quarkus are some of those options. And there's Micronaut.  full article on i-programmer: https://www.i-programmer.info/news/80-java/15098-micronaut-3-2-released-for-more-performant-microservices.html
