Friends of Foojay: DevOps Tools for Java Developers

Foojay.io is the new Java community platform with everything you need to do your daily Java development work — with reference materials on the latest OpenJDK versions, vendors, and distributions, together with insights into the latest quarterly updates, articles, blogs, tips and tricks, and much more. And all for free, accompanied by a Slack channel for discussion on all things Java and OpenJDK.

To celebrate and introduce Foojay.io, members of the Foojay community are doing a JUG tour and one of the stops is right here. Come join in, learn about Foojay, and hear Stephen Chin speak on DevOps Tools for Java Developers.

Abstract:
With the rise of DevOps, low cost Cloud Computing, and emerging Container technologies, the landscape for how you approach development has dramatically changed. This talk is focused on helping Java developers to adapt to this new landscape and take advantage of microservices, serverless, and cloud-native technologies with the latest DevOps techniques to simplify their build and create hyperproductive teams. Some of the technologies you will learn about in this talk include source control, build declaration, CI/CD, package management, containerization, and security.

Learn from the combined experience of the presenters who are experts in the Java and DevOps domains on the best tools, technologies, and methodologies to build your next cloud-native application or refactor your monolith. We cover the entire DevOps toolchain from source control through CI/CD through containerized deployments with an emphasis on maintaining efficiency and control from the source code and dependencies.
