Editoral 29 May 2020

Posted by lightguard May 29, 2020

Welcome back! Things keep rolling along for us within Middleware at Red Hat. We have a couple of new releases and some blogs to talk about this week, so let’s dig in.

Releases

 

  • Infinispan 11.0.0.0.CR1 - This CR release sees non-blocking internal changes, a non-blocking Store SPI, slight modifications to clustering scaling, better/more server security, CLI, kubernetes/OpenShift operator, and an update to documentation!

  • Quarkus 1.5.0.Final - The milestoe is done and the artifacts are in Maven Central. There are a few things left to do to offically announce the release, but all the coding is done. The link here is to the GitHub milestone for a list of issues completed.

  • Teiid Spring Boot 1.5.0

Blogs

 

To go along with the Infinispan release, a couple of new blog posts have come out:

 

Eric Schabell has a couple of entries into his Cloud-native development series:

 

There is also an entry called Reality Bites: 3 misconceptions that can lead to microservice mayhem discussing pitfalls to avoid while working with Microservices

Lastly, we want to cover episodes 2, 3, and 4 of the Quarkus Insights video podcast. Episode 2 covers quarkus:dev and Command mode. Episode 3 discusses Hibernate and Panache. The most recent one, episode 4, talks about JHipster for Quarkus. You can find these video pod casts at YouTube or the audio on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

We’re a little light on the news this time, but those of us who have been reading the editorial for a few years will be familiar with the "after Summit slump." With Red Hat Summit behind us (and what a great Summit, check out the sessions on demand if you missed them), many people have taken PTO. Expect all the news, blogs, releases, etc. to pick back up in the coming weeks.

All that being said, we do have some blogs to go over and one release.

 

Blogs

First up is Eric Schabell’s second entry in his "Demystifying the Event Driven Architecture - Making the case" series. You can read more about it at his blog.

We have another post by Eric: Code Ready Containers - Installing an HR employee rewards project using developer container catalog. For more information about CodeReady Containers, please visit the Red Hat Developer page.

There are a number of DevNation Tech Talks and master courses dropping within the next week, please visit the DevNation page for more information.

Releases

Keycloak released a new version: Keycloak 10.0.1.

 

I'm writing this as we wrap up another successful Red Hat Summit. But this year, with a significant distinction: the event was 100% virtual. Despite the involuntary move to virtual, there were many benefits that came about from the change in format. The event was completely free, and of course required no travel, allowing a much broader and more diverse set of attendees to benefit from the content and experience. It was also ran in three regions to accommodate many more timezones.

 

Being Red Hat we were keen to experiment with the format and find new ways to engage with the community. It was important for us to carry over as much of the personality and intimacy of the physical event as possible. So, this needed to be more than just a bunch of streamed talks. The talks were pre-recorded which allowed the presenter(s) to participate directly in the Q&A in real-time as the talk proceeded. There was also a variety of sessions that went beyond the talk format. For examples see Ask the experts, Networking social hour, and the Virtual Open Neighborhood on the agenda.

 

If you weren't able to attend, or want to catch some of the talks you missed, you can re-live the virtual event here.
