    Portland Java User Group: Wildfly

    Profocus

    This is an in-person meetup.

    Modern developer experience on WildFly

    Has your view of Enterprise Java evolved with the platform? In this session, James R. Perkins (Jakarta EE & Jakarta REST Co-Lead) dives into the modern developer experience on WildFly.

    We will explore the latest in Jakarta EE and how WildFly has transformed its provisioning model.

    You will learn how to build slim, cloud-ready runtimes using the WildFly Bootable JAR and Galleon, moving away from the traditional "full server" installation. Finally, we will look at a new approach to integration testing using wildfly-testing-tools, demonstrating how to easily spin up environments and test Jakarta REST endpoints with confidence.

    Speaker: James Perkins is a Software Engineer at IBM and a longtime open-source contributor. He currently leads the RESTEasy project and helps drive the future of enterprise Java as a co-lead of Jakarta EE and Jakarta REST. A WildFly committer for over 15 years, he also leads several WildFly integration projects focused on simplifying the testing and development experience for modern Jakarta EE developers.
