Back after the winter break. My first day in the office today and I have to admit, that I had to clean my inbox. Like many of you. But we're getting back to normal eventually and so is the weekly editorial. More or less the same team with a new 2016 schedule and we're ready to guide you through the JBoss universe week after week.

 

WildFly Monitoring

The Hawkular community released a post about Hawkular WildFly Agent API For Your Own Inventory and Metrics which introduces you to a hidden gem provided by the Hawkular WildFly Agent. That might be useful to those developers that want to store metrics in a metric storage facility for later reporting and graphing but don't want to take the time to implement that storage facility. This hidden gem also provides a way for developers to store their own managed resource definitions in an inventory storage facility but, again, don't want to implement all of the backend required for such a thing.

 

Up tp Speed With Microservices

Everybody is talking microservices these days and Red Hat is doing some very cool developer events around the world. The latest one happened at the beginning of November last year. The amazing speaker lineup produced an amazing amount of content and all the sessions have been recorded. So, I thought it might be very helpful to see my personal microservices talks from the road show.

 

Red Hat JBoss Fuse - Switchyard in OSGi

If your have ever played with JBoss Fuse Service Work, then you will probably know this already. So what exactly is switchyard? SwitchYard is a structured framework for developing integration applications using the design principles and best practices of Service Oriented Architecture. Christina Lin walks you through everything you need to know and gives you a head-start.

And the Developer Experience and Tooling group, of which JBoss Tools team is part, have a set of software QE job openings available.

 

New Releases

The release schedule has slowed down a bit in between the years, but a little has happened in the last week:

 

And a little Goodbye

After many many years in the JBoss Middleware Evangelism Team, Eric D. Schabell left the team. He moved to the Integrated Solutions Business Unit, as a Technical Product Marketing Manager. Thank you, Eric! For all your passion and hard work! It's good to still know you in Red Hat!
