Maybe you are wondering, "why is there an automation recipe in a Java EE 8 book?", or even, "is there any specification under Java EE 8 that defines a 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 in 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 work with something that looks like a new fashion
- 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...
