Course description
Develop microservice-based applications in Java EE with MicroProfile and OpenShift
Building on Red Hat Application Development I: Programming in Java EE (JB183), the introductory course for Java EE application development, Red Hat Application Development II: Implementing Microservice Architectures (DO283) emphasizes learning architectural principles and implementing microservices in Java EE, primarily based on MicroProfile with WildFly Swarm and OpenShift.
Course summary
- Deploy and monitor microservice-based applications.
- Implement a microservice with MicroProfile.
- Implement unit and integration tests for microservices.
- Use the config specification to inject data into a microservice.
- Create a health check for a microservice.
- Implement fault tolerance in a microservice.
- Secure a microservice using the JSON Web Token (JWT) specification.

Impact on the organization
Many organizations are struggling with how to make the move from monolithic applications to applications based on microservices, as well as how to reorganize their development paradigm to reap the benefits of microservice development in a DevOps economy. In particular, many organizations are invested in Java programming frameworks and Red Hat® OpenShift Container Platform. This course exposes you to the Wildfly Swarm runtime for streamlined deployment on OpenShift clusters.
Red Hat has created this course in a way intended to benefit our customers, but each company and infrastructure is unique, and actual results or benefits may vary.
Impact on the individual
As a result of attending this course, you will understand how to develop, monitor, test, and deploy microservice-based Java EE applications using Wildfly Swarm and Red Hat OpenShift.
You should be able to demonstrate these skills:
- Design a microservices-based architecture for an enterprise application.
- Implement fault tolerance and health checks for microservices.
- Secure microservices to prevent unauthorized access.
Recommended next exam or course
