Emily Jiang presents on MicroProfile, a community-driven set of lightweight Java APIs for building microservices. MicroProfile aims to provide APIs for common concerns like configuration, fault tolerance, health checking, and more to help build cloud-native Java microservices. It has wide vendor support and specifications are developed through an open community process. MicroProfile services can be deployed to modern platforms like Kubernetes and service meshes like Istio to enable scalable and resilient microservice architectures in the cloud.
