Java, the widely-used programming language, as it continues to evolve with each new release I still see companies and projects hesitating to transition from Java 8 to Java 17, the latest long-term support (LTS) release.

The transition from Java 8 to Java 17 has brought about numerous enhancements and features that developers can leverage to create more efficient and robust applications. In this article, we will delve into the new features introduced in Java 17, compare them with Java 8, and provide best practices for migrating from Java 8 to Java 17.

It automates your container deployments and it just rocks! Continue reading “Deploying a Quarkus or any java based microservice behind an Nginx reverse proxy with ssl using docker” →
