Building Applications Using the MicroProfile API

At this point, you should have a good understanding of how to use the most common Java APIs (CDI, REST, JSON, JPA) in a Quarkus application. In this chapter, we will be adding a whole bunch of APIs called the MicroProfile specification. By mastering the topics in this chapter, you will be able to shape up components that have built upon the core features of the Java EE, which allows for a straightforward development experience when implementing microservices, increasing the robustness of your applications, and reducing the risk of over-designing and reinventing the same patterns. Topics you will learn to include how to add fault tolerance and health checks to your services, how to check your service's metrics, how to trace and document them, and how to create lean REST clients for your endpoints. Other features, such as configuration...
