Developing Microservices with Eclipse Microprofile

Introduction

This tutorial shows, in a hands-on, step-by-step manner, how to develop an application using a significant portion of the MicroProfile core specifications, including MicroProfile Config, Rest Client, Fault Tolerance, Metrics, Health, and JWT RBAC. This tutorial assumes some familiarity with JAX-RS and CDI, although having experience with Spring DI and Spring MVC is likely sufficient.

Note	This hands-on tutorial accompanies an O’Reilly Live training on Developing Microservices with Eclipse MicroProfile, but can also be used as a standalone tutorial. If you have an O’Reilly subscription that supports the training, feel free to sign up!
