Devnexus 2025 - Foundations of Modern #Java Server Apps - Kito Mann

This talk explores the evolution of Java from its early server-side applications like servlets and JSP to modern microservice frameworks such as Dropwizard, Spring Boot, and Eclipse MicroProfile. The speaker examines the foundational technologies that have facilitated this transition, discussing essential components such as REST request handling, JSON processing, WebSocket interactions, database connectivity, and validation. Attendees will gain insights into how these standards have evolved within the Eclipse Jakarta EE ecosystem and what future developments may emerge.
