Kubernetes Native Java and Eclipse MicroProfile | EclipseCon Europe 2019
The document discusses the evolution of Java in the context of Kubernetes and Linux containers, emphasizing the need for Java to adapt to a more immutable architecture. It highlights the significance of Eclipse MicroProfile and frameworks like Quarkus that optimize Java for modern cloud-native environments. The presentation concludes with a call for the Java community to rethink solutions and embrace new standards to ensure Java remains relevant in the face of emerging alternatives.

- 10. The “Java Problem” ●Designed for throughput at the expense of footprint ● Intended to be long running, less focus on startup speed ● Rich dynamic behavior built around mutable bare-metal systems ○ … yet Linux containers are primarily immutable ○ … frameworks and stacks built to leverage key Java capabilities such as dynamism ● Java is trying to pivot (JPMS, AOT, Graal, etc) ○ … but architectural changes to frameworks are required to truly benefit 10

- 12. Why footprint mattersin the cloud ● Memory is more important than throughput on containers ○ It’s more expensive (requires permanence), unlike CPU cycles ● Microservices multiply overhead cost ○ One app becomes N microservices (e.g. 20 microservices ~= 20GB today!) ● If we do nothing Java alternatives will take over (eventually) ○ Go, Python, Node, PHP, Rust etc. do not have this problem 12

Moving to Compile-TimeBoot 27 What does a framework do at startup time? ● Parse config files ● Classpath & classes scanning ○ for annotations, getters or other metadata ● Build framework metamodel objects ● Prepare reflection and build proxies ● Start and open IO, threads etc ● Moved as much as possible to build phase ● Minimized runtime dependencies ● Maximize dead code elimination ● Introduced clear metadata contracts ● Spectrum of optimization levels (all → some → no runtime reflection) Framework Optimizations
- 28. What about MicroProfile? ●Quarkus implements MicroProfile ● We all know the benefits of open standards … ○ No vendor lock-in so applications can be ported across implementations ○ Don’t like something then come in and help evolve it ● MicroProfile in Quarkus enables skills to be immediately brought to the problem ○ And applications from other implementations too! ● Aim to feed more innovations back to MicroProfile and beyond ○ Remember … the JVM needs love too, not just frameworks 28

- 35. Conclusions: rethinking theproblem ● Our problems are not the same as they were 10 years ago ○ We can’t expect the same solutions to make sense! ○ Containers are small and primarily immutable ● To adapt, we must truly understand conditions and make different trade-offs ○ Eclipse MicroProfile offers a standard way to trim down services ○ But there’s still a lot more work to do across the entire stack ● Enable millions of Java developers to become truly cloud native 35
