Weekly Editorial

August 2019 Previous month Next month

Welcome everyone! We hope everyone is excited (or enjoyed if it has already passed) for the Labor Day weekend if you’re in the U.S. There are some great blog posts over the past couple of weeks we want to highlight and a couple of releases as well.

 

Releases

There are two releases we want to highlight in this editorial. The first is the Keycloak 7.0.0 release! You can of course find all the information you need in the release notes.

Next is the update and release of the new Apache Camel website. The website has had a pretty major overhaul with a new design, graphics, layout and look toward the mobile experience. The website source is hosted on GitHub should you wish to contribute.

Blogs

Oddly enough, the blogsphere has been a little quiet the past couple of weeks, must have something to do with summer.

Eric Schabell

As is normal, Eric Schabell has been very busy over at his blog. We’d like to mention of few of the things he’s been writing about:

Red Hat Developer Blog

The Red Hat Developer blog has some great information if you haven’t been there. We’re showcasing just few from the past few weeks:

 

That will do it for this edition of the editorial, thanks for being with us!

Read on to find out the latest from the JBoss community...

 

DevNation Live: Quarkus – Hibernate with Panache

In this tech talk you will learn from Emmanuel Bernard about Hibernate Panache. Hibernate ORM with Panache focuses on the typical use cases, making your entities trivial and fun to write in Quarkus.

 

DevNation Live: Revisiting Effective Java in 2019

Joshua Bloch has given us the third edition of Effective Java, but almost 10 years have passed since the last edition. And, now we have a whole generation of Java developers who could benefit from this knowledge. In this tech talk, we hear from Edson Yanaga who explains what’s new in the updated Effective Java and adds some more tips not included in the book.

 

5 Questions Everyone's Asking About Microservices (Question 1)

Eric Schabell has observed that there are 5 common questions he's asked when meeting with existing and potential customers. In this series he tackles each one in turn. In part one he'll be answering:

 

“How to approach the performance impact in communications when a monolith gets split up into distributed services (microservices), such as from internal calls to distributed REST APIs?”

 

Stay tuned for part 2 where he'll be discussing how to deal with state after splitting up monolithic applications.

 

Recent Drools DMN open source engine performance improvements

The Drools community are always looking for ways to improve the performance of the Drools DMN open source engine. They have recently reviewed a DMN use-case where the actual input population of Input Data nodes varied to some degree; this highlighted a suboptimal behavior of the engine, which we improved in recent releases. In this post Matteo Mortari shares their findings.

 

Beginners Guide - Building an Online Retail Web Shop Workshop (Technical Rules)

With the release of Red Hat Decision Manager 7.3 Eric Schabell has started updating his free online workshop, a beginners guide to building an online retail web shop. In this post Eric explains how to create Technical Rules with Red Hat Decision Manager.

One of the latest and most innovative releases of our community has certainly been Quarkus. The project was published just a few months ago and it’s not surprising that it is now the topic of many materials being released in the few weeks. But especially this week, we are lucky not to have just another article or blog post, but several video presentations all discussing using Quarkus in very different context. Enjoy!

 

Quarkus - Live from DevNation

In the previous weeks, a few online presentations—part of the Live From DevNation series, were released and are bound to be of interest for many of you, readers, as they all focus on the latest, shiny and bright little gem of our community, Quarkus:

 

Kogito Ergo Cloud

 

The Kogito initiative is an ongoing effort to bring Drools to the cloud. To demonstrate how the rule engine fits into such an environment, the project contributors have launched a series of articles in the last weeks. The first installment was called Drools & jBPM: Kogito, ergo Rules — Part 1: Bringing Drools Further and its followup Drools & jBPM: Kogito, ergo Rules — Part 2: An All-Encompassing Execution Model for Rules  is now available too! Obviously, those two articles will be a perfect warm-up to the previously mentioned video presentation DevNation Live: Introducing Kogito .

 

3Scale your way into CI/CD

In the last weeks, a very nice series of articles on 3Scale have been released. Nicely organized, their use cases or example are around the topics of CI/CD using Jenkins and thus they form a nice, practical and very concrete example on how to use 3Scale:

 

Evangelist's Corner

As always, our very own Eric D.Schabell has not forgotten the JBoss Community and he released a new Beginners Guide - Building an Online Retail Web Shop Workshop (Guided Rules).

 

Decaf'

Enough about Quarkus, Drools and other Java technologies? Feel like trying something else or look at some other cool stuff, that could help you in your daily work. Well, you're in luck, last week, a very cool article on Controlling Red Hat OpenShift from an OpenShift pod was released. This is bound to be nifty, isn't it?
