Gerrit appeared previously at "#268 How Han Solo wrote SteelSeries", Java desktop applications are still widely used in large companies and industries for internal tools, as they are easy to build and deploy. Swing and JavaFX are faster and more native than their reputation suggests. On the server side, Java is very efficient for cloud workloads compared to other languages. The Zulu OpenJDK production-ready build of OpenJDK offers added features like security scanning. Azul Zing, Azul Vulnerability Detection, "#126 JavaFX Everywhere ...also in App Stores" with Johan Vos, now called Azul Platform Prime, includes an enhanced Falcon JIT compiler that can speed up performance significantly on some workloads. Prime also supports fast startups via checkpoints with CraC, and faster warmup with ReadyNow pre-compiled optimizations, IBM InstantOn is similar to CraC, Azul Platform Prime was primarily called Zing, Azul Code Inventory helps with code migrations

Jakarta EE, MicroProfile, package name changes, OpenLiberty implements MicroProfile API, uses SmallRye for reactive messaging, migration to smallrye is not trivial, reactive messaging comes with netty and vert.x assumptions, Jakarta EE and MicroProfile - merging or separating, a single dependency would be nice, three camps: Jakarta EE, MicroProfile vendors and the developers, Jakarta EE is more stable, MicroProfile is more innovative, MicroProfile is not an incubator, passionated discussions about SOAP, JAX-RPC is more popular, than JAX-WS, deprecation is not about removal, ConfigSource implementation does not support CDI, MicroProfile brings added value to Jakarta EE, MicroProfile and Jakarta EE can co-exist together, monoliths on kubernetes are valid use cases, poor vs. rich and thin vs. fat, xdoclet - the annotation predecessor, EJB 2 were not that bad,

Working on HotSpot, Sun started collaboration with Johannes Kepler University (JKU) in Linz, Java HotSpot is written in C++, "Array Bounds Check Elimination" for Java HotSpot Compiler, increased the performance by approx. 10%, the possibly most impactful student work ever, IdealGraphVisualizer (IGV): the graphical visualisation tool for HotSpot uses NetBeans visual library, IGV is also used for GraalVM, the Maxine Research VM at Sun Microsystems, Project Maxwell was renamed to Maxine, working at Sun's Menlo Park at Maxine, the circular optimization of Java leads to higher performance, the relation between Maxine and GraalVM, replacing the Maxine Compiler with Client HotSpot Compiler "transpiled" from C++ to Java, the C1X compiler, maxine was too ambitious, GraalVM just focusses on the compiler and makes it available for HotSpot, the Java compiler (javac) is written in Java, the quality of the JIT output is the first factor for good performance, HotSpot asks JIT to optimize "hot" methods, Maxine project is stil active, JVMCI, working on crankshaft compiler at Google with a team of 8 people, using Graal as polyglot environment, converting JavaScript to GraalIR was too complex, JavaScript is dynamic and GraalIR is typed, partial evaluation was inspired by PyPy, JavaScript interpreter was written in Java and is optimized by GraalVM, the frozen interpreters, the meta-circularity comes with the native image, a small JavaScript interpreter team implements recent JavaScript features, improving serverside ReactJS rendering performance with GraalVM, R, Ruby and Python are exectly the same integrated as JavaScript, Java is going to be interpreted in the same way as well, method inlining across language boundaries, Truffle is the intepreter API and comes with language-independent tooling, GraalVM is able to output bitcode instead of native code with LLVM, native image was used to compile the Graal compiler itself, the native image contains garbage collector, native image is considered "early adopters" technology, HotSpot mode is still 20% to 50% faster, G1 is going to be available on the native image as well, in future the performance of the AOT could vary +/-10% compared to JIT, polymorphic invocations could become faster on the native image / AOT, profile guided optimizations can be performed also ahead of time, new native images could learn from the past, the stability of AOT and JIT are similar, twitter already uses AOT for years, with Java you have the choice between AOT and JIT, unikernels could be supported by GraalVM in future, the GraalVM is hiring,

Mark loves microservices, "if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail", by Abraham Maslow, Hype Driven Development, the right size of a Microservice, splitting an application with Apache Maven, interfaces and DTOs, structuring a monolith, the killer argument against modules, interfaces with a single implementation, what if all the modules have the same version, testing against interfaces, pure unit tests are problematic in microservice world, avoid testing mocks, most problems and errors are in the database, System Tests in production-near environment over CDI Unit, Arquillian and Delta Spike, the overhead of Kubernetes, there are projects which require scaling others do not have such requirements, KVM over Kubernetes, testing locally vs. in production-like environment, Kubernetes is not only about load and scaling, Kubernetes is about management and sysadmins productivity, the main problem in business projects is overengineering, "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong": Murphy's Law, 200 errors per second, coursing about EJB and Java Enterprise, back to synchronous programming, transaction optimizations could be problematic, generating superfluous code with lombok, the "open session in view" pattern, transactions on JSF actions, in many use cases transactions are started on a too deep level, SOA and transaction boundaries, the fallacies of distributed computing, even larger projects have 10 microservices at most, there is no big company with a single, big monolith, staying local comes with the comfort of transactions, large amount of microservices is problematic, in 5 years we are going to reeingineer microservices into something different, everyone hates SOA now, everyone loved SOA back then, the saga pattern and compensating transactions, Jeff Bezos note on microservices from 2002, the benefits of microservices, the big bang Jakarta EE migration, the automatic package transformation with classloader, runnning old JARs on new namespaces, MicroProfile moves and iterates faster, Jakarta EE's release cadence is less frequent, the definition of "done" and micro frontends:

The first line of code was in Basic on Atari 800 XE in 1989, computer club for kids in Prague, the programming accident in Java, studying and working for 16h a day, early interests in application servers, joining BEA Systems in 2003 and starting with version 6, the weblogic.jar and the weblogic "thin client" jar, the only BEA consultant in eastern Europe, Oracle's acquisition was a big change, leaving Oracle and moving to AVG for building custom application servers, starting at HomeCredit to develop with WebLogic, service buses and Co., joining a JavaONE conference session with Josh Long about SpringBoot, what is the purpose of FatJARs, one application per server, WebLogic became bigger over time, hollow JARs are explainable, about the costs of running application servers in the cloud, the deconstruction of the application server, how clustering became obsolete, application servers and docker layers, separation of business logic and infrastructure, the superfluous deployment machinery, the idea of a single application, the complicated application server's classloading, helidon only relies on the system ClassLoader, cloud features without clouds, starting at Oracle again, Airport, Prime, J4C and Helidon, helidon was fully opensourced in February, 2019, the origin Helidon idea was to be a cloud platform, Helidon's security is similar to WebLogic 8-9 security model, helidon separates between the user and service accounts, helidon's outbound security is automated, helidon was designed with docker in mind, helidon supports hollow jars and so directly the Docker layering, FatJARs are not worth the trouble, bare metal is the killer use case for FatJARs, hardcore classloaders are problematic with GraalVM, Helidon supports MicroProfile 3.0 all parts of it, merging all infrastructural modules in a single JAR is dangerous - beans.xml and class clashes are possible, helidon comes with JWT support fo outbound communication, in helidon you can provide you own main method, helidon comes with two modes: MicroProfile and Java SE, helidon is just a set of libraries, one library happens to be the server -- but is optional, helidon started as a Java SE platform only - microprofile came later, helidon was inspired by expressjs, trying to replicate the express experience, helidon ported the Java 9 flow API to Java 8 (by renaming the package) to backport the user experience, helidon uses the event loop of netty - never block the thread, most of Jakarta EE and Java SE libraries are not reactive, Java SE and MicroProfile modes can be used at the same time, helidon Java SE application is directly compilable with GraalVM to native image, Helidon 2.0 will come with native compilation support of MicroProfile, commercial support for Helidon will be probably possible, Helidon team answers questions on slack channel, no-one is interested in providing support of outdated software, MicroProfile is volatile - backward compatibility can be a challenge,

RPG character generators with Turbo Pascal, Delphi and Visual Basic. D&D, Pentium 100 and Atari 500 ST, the joy of programming, the object oriented paradigm with Java 1.5 at university, warehouse software with JBoss 5 and enterprise Java, the first line of Java code was "public static void main", Java is not the ideal language to start programming with, building Swing apps at the University of Brno, studying computer science was hard, computer theory at the university is actually useful, design pattern overuse is an enterprise Java disease, some best practices move to Java EE platform - there is not need to solve the already solved problems, internship in Brazil with PHP and JQuery in 2009, the main problem of early Java EE was slow deployments, starting at RedHat as quality engineer for JBoss AS 7, quality insurance is a great way of on-boarding, starting to work on transactions, most PHP applications were built with "auto commit" transactions, transactions are convenient, enhancing code coverage for the transaction manager, fixing own bugs filed as quality engineer, starting as narayana developer, narayana, arjuna and JBoss Transaction Manager are the same bits, migrating narayana to MicroProfile Long Running Action (LRA), building transactional file system JCA connectorz, the narayana bootstrap with XML (timeout, implementation, recovery, transaction log), transaction manager and transaction recovery manager are the key parts, the transaction recovery manager is needed to remember what the server did, XID vs. Global ID, transaction context is stored in a ThreadLocal, joining transactions with JPA EntityManager, UnitOfWork in EntityManager, JDBC and XA transactions, a XA JDBC driver has to be exposed to the TransactionManager, a local transaction can be directly managed by the EntityManager, the XA / 2PC (two phase commit) protocol in detail, EntityManager: transactions and flushing, XA optimizations, Quarkus and Narayana, storing transaction logs in a central database, @Stateless, @Transactional and UserTransaction, code simplification with CDI and EJB, premature transaction optimisation is the root of some evil, starting transactions at the boundary layer, slower performance without transactions, in business applications with some state you will always need something like local transaction, thinking differently with NoSQL, Dr. Martin Kleppmann (@martinkl) transactions, challenges with microservices and transactions.

Amstrad CPC 484, but Commodore had better games, learning BASIC driven by lack of games, hacking game loaders, C is the favourite language, with C you have the full control, C is concise, ISO DEE, writing ISO network layers in Ireland, writing reactive code in 1994, beautiful C code, processing bibliographic data with DSLs, maintaining passion and fun at indexdata.dk, enjoying the time at navy, clueless mainframe operators, writing programs in COBOL instead of queries, PDP 11 as simulator for naval training, writing application servers in C++ for telecom, EJB-like components in C++, Java UIs in 1998, Java should be good enough for writing service provisoning platforms, accidental discovery of Java Management Extension (JMX), first Java impression was not as good, JBoss was a heavy JMX user, JBoss was always manageable because of JMX, Rickard Öberg was a genious, dynamic kernel with dynamic extensions, Marc Fleury started JBoss, JBoss 2 was a rewrite, JBoss 2 kernel was the base for project "Junction" renamed to Action Streamer, JBoss became more interesting than the day job, core JBoss developer since 2004, CORBA / CSIv2 skills were needed for J2EE certification, transferring transactions and security context with CORBA extensions, JBoss was the first J2EE certified server, Dimitris was project lead for JBoss 4 and 5, later manager, now responsible for Thorntail, Vertx and Quarkus, in JBoss CORBA objects were dynamically generated, the paper: "The JBoss Extensible Server" from brazilian professor, Thrift, gRPC and Co. are CORBA, just reinvented, CORBA network layer is very efficient, EJBs killed CORBA, JBoss unified the web container and EJB container in a single JVM to prevent remote communication, microservices are distributed, sometimes unnecessarily, EJBs and WebContainers had to split into separate JVMs back then as well, Quarkus is the exact opposite of WildFly, Quarkus and WildFly also have different goals, the WildFly.next discussions at RedHat, Jason Greene and Bob McWhirter had WildFly discussions, Emanuel proposed a single runtime for everyone, the one base runtime for everyone prototype, SubstrateVM produced the best native code, Hibernate on Quarkus was a break-through, Quarkus is a collective, interdisciplinary effort at RedHat, Quarkus started in spring 2018, Quarkus pushes the Java EE deployment model further and the optimisations are collateral, Quarkus looks and feels like Java EE or MicroProfile, Quarkus does not require proprietary imports, Quarkus went for native optimization, and optimized HotSpot JVM as well, Quarkus build makes code less memory hungry at HotSpot, Quarkus takes have of the memory with fast startup time, Quarkus comes also with runtime improvements in HotSpot and native mode, the idea for build-time optimizations started at WildFly, with pre-computing the deployment model, Quarkus extension model allows the integration of 3rd-party code for native compilation, Quarkus development mode comes with scripting-like experience, Quarkus FatJars aren't fat, nor self-contained, Quarkus runner-jars are optimized for Docker and so clouds, Quarkus offers imerative and reactive APIs, Netty, Vert.x and Undertow are unified inside Quarkus, Panache ORM is an experiment, but could become a MicroProfile or Jakarta EE standard, working with standards is difficult, Quarkus pushes standards further, developers hack the code first, then standard comes, writing Kubernetes operators with Quarkus

Proposal on Jakarta EE’s innovation & relationship to MicroProfile, using MicroProfile as an incubator, JCrete is not vacations, MicroProfile is production ready, MicroProfile Metrics, MicroProfile Fault Tolerance, MicroProfile OpenApi, MicroProfile OpenTracing the incubation process for Jakarta EE, applying what made Java EE great to Jakarta EE, the difference between EE4J and the incubator proposal, the umbrella Java EE specification is lacking in Jakarta EE, predefined templates with convention over configuration and design principles, Jakarta EE and MicroProfile websites are not consistent enough, how to bring together Jakarta EE and MicroProfile, bundling Jakarta EE and MicroProfile APIs, the Jakarta EE usability project, the developer experience project, proposing a gist-like repository with common "Jakarta EE / MicroProfile look and feel" code snippets, both: MicroProfile and Jakarta EE could use the "jakarta" namespace, MicroProfile will have to refactor the packages anyway, focus on speed in developer workflow, OpenLiberty has a fast-deployment maven plugin, in "enterprise" Java there is almost no "enterprise" left, moving from Java EE to Jakarta EE will solve the marketing issue,

the Java EE Testing survey and possible room for improvements, testing is too hard with severe consequences, reasonable projects are interested in delivering good software, large enterprises are more interested in statistics, testing is about increasing developer's confidence, confidence decreases with the length of time spent outside the project, in 1996 you would test with a bunch of main methods, most projects are ignoring System Tests because the statistics are not gathered, "test first" or last does not matter, you only have to deliver the tests with working software at the same time, running System Tests with code coverage, fast and long running modes, Unit-, Integration-, and System Tests are naturally ordered by their execution time, in business projects unit test coverage can be fairly low, in business projects arquillian comes with a little added value, in Integration Tests it is crucial to use the same version of libraries, tests do not accurately represent the production environment, System Tests are reused as Stress Tests, JMH is a great library for stress tests, at IBM there is a dedicated performance team, in projects torture tests are a good start, toxiproxy by shopify, management driven code metrics is a failure of management, unit tests should be about verifying the behaviour not the implementation details, too many unit tests increase the costs of refactoring, unit tests are running in seconds, integration tests in a few minutes, the performance of system tests really depends on the system, integration tests give more confidence, than unit tests, unit tests are great for productivity, running servers in code coverage modes would be useful, jacoco code coverage metrics could be exposed via JSON,Andy on twitter: @andrew_guibert and github.
C64 and sports games, Weiden is not in Bavarian Forest, soccer as motivation for programming, writing first programs in basic with 17, writing contacts management, PCs are boring machines, but good for business, Java is the best programming language, Pentium 1 was introduced at CEBIT in 1993, the dream about an own booth at CEBIT came true, webdesign software based on applets (XPage) was very successful at SYSTEMS in Munich, Markus was the business man and had no time for programming - like Steve Jobs, self-financing with selling products, competing with Microsoft and Adobe, writing a 4GL Java-based development environment like Visual Basic called XDev, Java Developers don't like the Drag and Drop programming experience, building an IDE from scratch, discussions with Sun Microsystems about StarOffice integration, migrating from Swing to SWT and Eclipse, using Vaadin as UI technology, connecting beautiful UI to DB was too hard, databases have more types than Java what makes code generation hard, in 4GL the database comes first, RapidEclipse is free but commercial support is available, XDev provides tool and project support, RapidClipse understands rich database types and generates JPA POJOs, Hibernate importer, how to write queries in Java, implementing JPA-SQL is based on xtext by itemis and generates JPA-QL from SQL, storing data is still too complicated, serialization looked promising but was too unsecure and only entire objects can be serialized, Kryo, Fast Serializer, JetStream (renamed to Microstream) serializer, the database engine stores objects in any file storage, there is no impedance mismatch, the native Java storage engine, queries are performed with Java 8+ streams, JCA connector passes transactions and security context to the application server, JCA prototypical implementation, kubernetes persistent volumes, Bavarian Forrest is like Canada, the largest walking robot, Roding race car, being a TV host on Giga, constant 30k downloads and the XDev TV, DVDs were more successful than TV, JCon and the coding keynote, Java EE as secret weapon at JCon, stealing (adapting) the "no slides" ideas, the world first free, physical, Java magazine JAVAPRO with 8500 readers, community prefers Java-only conference,Markus Kett on twitter: @MarkusKett.

the result of pressing the break button on a BBC computer, and ZX Spectrum, Space Invaders with Basic, extending minecraft with Java, accidental tester career, best interviewees got programmer jobs, hackers and testers, developers like the happy path, unit test coverage is useless without good asserts, is 80% code coverage a valuable target?, code coverage was used as a motivation for writing tests, reflection utilities to increase code coverage, getters / setters never brake, Code as a Crime Scene book, methods longer than a screen are problematic, the ratio between trivial and good asserts, a good javadoc and unit tests follow similar principles, system tests are the most important one, unit testing is good for checking error scenarios, the more tests you have, the easier it is to locate errors, the Law of Triviality requires standard names for test categories, integration testing and system testing, reusing system tests as clients and stress tests, UK retailer goes down, take the max load and double it, jbmc is bytecode verification tool, diffblue cover generates unit tests, generating unit tests quickly for legacy backends, playground, What is the AI in “AI for Code”? blogpost, diffblue blog, @diffbluehqJames Wilson on twitter: @jgwilson42.

1982, Dragon 32 and Basic Programming with 12, starting with JDK 1.0, writing a JMS provider for WebSphere v6, no ceremony JMS, Apache Kafka considered simple, why writing a Kafka application is harder than a JMS application, there is a big architectural difference between Kafka and JMS, or message queuing and event stores, Kafka remembers historical data, JMS is about fowarding messages, with Kafka it is harder to write conversational systems, clustering singletons is hard, running Kafka on a single node is easy, "deliver once and only once" is the killer feature of persistent JMS queues, JMS topics are nicer - you can send messages to unknown receivers, the killer use cases for JMS and Kafka, JMS is good for system coordination and transaction integrity, Kafka is well suited for (IoT) event buffering and re-processability, 2PC, XA and the advantages of middleware, in distributed transactions everyone has to remember everything, we only need distributed and rock-solid persistence, kubernetes pods are stateless, challenges of using Kafka, setting up for production can take months for an average Java programmer with JMS background, restarting Kafka brokers can be challenging, in Kafka you are communicating with the cluster, MQ is a collection of individual queue managers, in MQ there is a directory of resources which knows where the queues are hosted.Andrew on github, and LinkedIn.
starting with Visual Basic in high school, with the goal to build games, then quick transition to C++, creating Tetris from scratch in weeks in C++, building first commercial financial planning application with PHP, starting with Java 1.5 and annotations in 2007, Java is popular in Australia, building Seam applications with JBoss 4, contributing to Weld in spare time, improving the performance and startup performance of Weld, working for RedHat as JBoss AS 7 developer, JBoss is more than the application server and the advent of Wildfly, the braning clean up, creating Undertow, WildFly was shipped with deactivated EJB pooling, too small EJB pools can cause performance issues, how to kill EJBs with CDI, EJB vs. CDI, interview with Pavel Samolysov and EJB vs. CDI performance comparison, quarkus is not using reflection for injection, a small team (8 people) started quarkus to leverage GraalVM, the goal of quarkus is to make a subset of Java EE natively compilable to an "unikernel", updating the cloud platform without recompiling the app, serverless with quarkus, serverless without the function disadvantage, 20MB self contained, native images, building Java EE / Jakarta EE unikernels, extremely fast start times for Java EE applications, native images are running with a fraction of RAM, at one point in time, quarkus might be commercially supported by RedHat, CDI portable extensions are not supported now, quarkus wizard is not based on Maven archetype - what is a great idea, Maven is only one of many possible entry points to quarkus, a really good developer experience was always the main goal, hot reload is a must, currently the classloader with the "business" part is just dropped and the app is reloaded, adding dependencies via CLI or pom.xml, quarkus ThinJARs are compatible with the ThinWAR idea, FatJAR's builds have to be slower, packaging all dependencies into a single JAR, using Chrome Dev Tools Protocols for hot reloading the browser, misusing quarkus for building command line tools, community extensions are on the roadmap, quarkus is going to be well integrated with OpenShift, quarkus forum.Stuart on twitter: @stuartwdouglas, and github.
old IBM PCs and old school Legos, starting programming in elementary school to write video games, the market for enterprise software is better, than the market for video games, World of Warcraft is good for practicing team work, ice hockey, snowboarding and baseball, getting job at IBM by pitching Nintendo WII hacking, why Java EE is exciting for young developers, OpenLiberty is a dream team at IBM, providing Java EE support for WebSphere Liberty and WebSphere "traditional" customers, Java EE 8 was good, and MicroProfile is a good platform for innovation, quick MicroProfile iterations, sprinkling MicroProfile goodness into existing applications, MicroProfile helps glue things together, OpenLiberty strictly follows the Java EE standards, how OpenLiberty knows what Java EE 8 is, OpenLiberty is built on an OSGi runtime, features are modules with dependencies, OpenLiberty comprises public and internal features, Java EE 8 is a convenience feature which pulls in other modules / features, OpenLIberty also supports users features, OpenLiberty works with EclipseLink, as well as, Hibernate, OpenLiberty comes with generic JPA support with transaction integration, Erin Schnabel fixes OpenLiberty configuration at JavaONE, IBM booth with vi in a few seconds, Erin Schnabel is a 10x-er, IBM MQ / MQS could be the best possible developer experience as JMS provider, Liberty Bikes - a Java EE 8 / MicroProfile Tron-like game, scaling websockets with session affinity, tiny ThinWARs, there is MicroProfile discussion for JWT token production, controlling OpenLiberty from MineCraft, testing JDBC connections, BulkHeads with porcupine, all concurrency in OpenLiberty runs on single, self-tuning ThreadPoolAndy on twitter: @andrew_guibert and github.
being chief Enterprise Service Bus Officer at IBM (not true), Lead Java Advocate for Java at IBM (now true), Sebastian still likes Java EE, the definition of Serverless, there is no need for functions in serverless computing, a reference to episode with Bruno Borges "Jakarta EE / MicroProfile in the Clouds: Runtimes not Servers", the difference between servers and runtimes, focussing on ThinwWARs is serverless, immutable infrastructures with immutable layers, pushing 50 times a day a ThinWAR to the cloud, Payara Configured as example for intermediary layers, Payara s2i, misusing Docker Registry as "FTP", ThinWAR upload triggers a hook and rebuilds a server, ultra productive Java EE, servers do not matter, using FaaS to trigger server re-configuration, functions are too fine grained for the implementation of stock applications, implement the added value of clouds by injecting cloud services, cloud bootstrap / initialization code looks like from 1945, externalizing cloud libraries to immutable images, added value of istio at openshift, cross cutting concerns with Istio, canary releases, routes and observability, istio adds additional configuration overhead, istio adds technical features on top of openshift, a possible killer features of istio, monitoring database traffic with istio, Istio as "feel good factor", some technical dashboards are as usable as lava lamps, monitoring external services, artificially slowing down connections in tests, MQS, hello worlds with Kafka are great, two lines to send a JMS events and one annotation to receive a message, Kafka is great as managed service, the next killer feature of MQS, killer runtimes with microprofile and Java EE, you can find us at jakartaee.blog, my blog is not usable as source for articles,
