Architecting and delivering Java applications in the cloud era

Day 1 /  / Track 3  /  EN

Nowadays, the best company is the one that delivers value quicker to its customers. They seek to spend less, and in consequence, they end up searching for cloud solutions. On the technical side, we have Java, which is the most mature and popular language of the past 25 years. Nevertheless, the most asked questions of the past years are: how do Java and cloud fit together? Does Java still fit the new technology trends or Is it time to deprecate Java to use newer languages such as NodeJS and GO?

Join this session to understand how the Java language, standards, culture, and ecosystem around it evolved to keep the pace of cloud deployment. Learn how you can maintain your developers' productivity by architecting your Java application aligned with the most recent best practices and recommendations, besides, defining a good integration and delivery scenario for your application lifecycle.
