Chapter 5: Enhancing Cloud-Native Applications
In the previous chapter, Chapter 4, Developing Cloud-Native Applications, we learned how to build cloud-native applications. However, building cloud-native applications is just the start. The next step is to enhance the applications, by making them configurable, resilient, documentable, and secure. In this chapter, you will learn how to configure your cloud-native applications using MicroProfile Config, make your applications resilient using MicroProfile Fault Tolerance, document their APIs using MicroProfile OpenAPI, and finally, secure your applications using MicroProfile JWT. After this chapter, you should be able to use these technologies to improve the quality of your cloud-native applications. To fully comprehend this chapter, you will need some basic knowledge of Java, Maven, and Gradle.
We will cover the following topics:
- Configuring cloud-native applications using MicroProfile Config
- Making cloud-native applications...
