More than 16.5 million Java developers are currently working to realize business requirements and spend a ton of time and effort to optimize the application performance for a variety of workloads (e.g., Web, Mobile, AI/ML, Edge) in the cloud. A big issue for the developers is to adopt a new language programming or runtimes over Java due to the lack of compatibility with Kubernetes. This session will walk you through how developers can scaffold a Java project from scratch and then evolve it as a Kubernetes native application in terms of optimizing resources with the native build, integrating Kubernetes manifest (ConfigMap, Secret, Health Check), building container images, and deploy it to Kubernetes. You can also continue testing and debugging the application while it’s already deployed to the remote Kubernetes, the same as the local developer experiences of inner loop development.
