Maybe you are wondering, why is there an automation recipe in a Jakarta EE 8 book? or even, is there any specification under Jakarta EE 8 that defines pipeline automation?
The answer to the second question is no. At least no at this very moment. The answer to the first one I'll explain here.
Many times at conferences I am asked the question, how do I migrate my monolith to microservices? It comes in some variations, but at the end of the day, the question is the same.
People want to do it for different reasons:
- They want to keep up with the trend.
- They want to scale an application.
- They want to be able to use different stacks under the same solution.
- They want to look cool.
Any of these reasons are OK, and you can justify your migration to microservices with any of them if you want although I would question the real motivation...
