Hello Adam,

What is your opinion about running Application Servers (Wildfly, JBoss EAP, etc) on Kubernetes/Openshift?

I work in a company that runs almost 300 Jakarta EE Applications with JBoss EAP 7.4/Java 11 using Domain Mode in a "Traditional infrastructure" (physical servers).

Recently my company acquired Openshit to run on premises. However, our Operations Team thinks we should not run JBoss EAP inside Openshift because none of these applications are "Cloud Native Microservices" (their words), therefore they wouldn't take any advantage of Openshift (I strongly disagre).

Many of these applications are very simple (thin wars), just some rest endpoints calling databases. For me, it makes no sense rewrite all these applications in Quarkus or other java cloud native framework.

As a developer, I think we would benefit deploying these applications to Openshift versus Traditional Infrastrucure. Managing physical servers is very tricky.

What do you think? Should we stop using JBoss EAP for new applications?

Should we rewrite all our applications in cloud native frameworks (Quarkus, Spring Boot, etc)?

Greetings from Brazil.

Hi, Adam

Is it possible to use CRaC with a Java application in a Docker container to create a single image that can reload environment-specific settings, or must there be a separate Docker image per environment?

What are the pros and cons of using RecordBuilder vs. Lombok’s @Builder annotation on record classes vs. a manual approach? Any opinion on which is preferred?

What’s your opinion on using a Java stack for cross-platform GUI development, specifically with Gluon + JavaFX + GraalVM? Is it too late for Java desktop applications? Should another language or framework be considered instead?

Greetings
