Containerizing Continuous Delivery in Java

Rate this book
Using containers to package and deploy applications is causing a seismic shift in the way software is developed, and you may wonder how, or if, Java works with this new paradigm. In fact, combining Java with container technology can bring out the best in both. With this report, you’ll learn valuable techniques, methodologies, and advice for continuously delivering Java applications with containers, from both an architectural and operational perspective.

To help you follow the book’s examples, author Daniel Bryant includes a simple ecommerce application that includes three microservices, a Docker Compose file, and a Jenkins build pipeline. You can clone the GitHub repository locally and learn firsthand how the continuous delivery process with Docker works. Much of the advice and patterns in this guide also apply to several other container technologies.

With this report, you’ll explore:

Continuous delivery basics with Java—and how JAR and WAR files differ from containers
How Docker impacts a typical Java application CD build pipeline
The impact of microservices and cloud-native Twelve-Factor Applications on Java architectural patterns
How containers affect functional testing, and non-functional performance and security testing
Host-level monitoring, container-level metrics, and application-level health checks

An excellent summary or starter for Java developers on using Docker.
On the long-run, using Docker and other containers requires more knowledge and continuous updates of this information because technologies change.

For a free book, I think it delivers the value it supposes to provide. I can encourage every Java developer/architect new to container technology to read this book and follow the references which are of interest to her/him.
