Hazelcast, the leading open source in-memory data grid (IMDG)
with tens of thousands of installed clusters and over 40 million
server starts per month, today announced that it is opening a new
office in Tokyo, Japan (Tokyo Big Sight - Ariake Frontier Building,
Level 9, Ariake Frontier Building B, 3-7-26 Ariake Koto-ku, Tokyo
135-0063, Phone +81 345864844), with Payara, the best open source
platform for JavaEE and MicroProfile applications. To mark the
opening of the new venture, Hazelcast and Payara will be hosting a
launch event on January 30, 6:00PM – 10:30PM, at the Nakano
SUNPLAZA.
The two organizations have a longstanding relationship and
collaborated to create Payara Scales, a Hazelcast Enterprise add-on
which provides Payara Support users with an enterprise level, open
source Java caching solution which results in improved performance,
resilience and scalability for large-scale e-commerce and Java EE
application deployments.
With registration at 6PM, the agenda for the event is as
follows:
6:15 – 6:45PM – Moving to MicroProfile and EE4J – Steve
Millidge (Payara)There are two major changes happening in the
JavaEE world. MicroProfile an industry collaboration to define
Microservices APIs on top of a subset of JavaEE and EE4J the
migration of JavaEE from the JCP to the Eclipse Foundation. In this
presentation Steve will give an update on the roadmap of both
initiatives outlining their aims and objectives.
6:50 – 7:20PM – Payara Server on the Cloud – Kenji Hasunuma
(Payara)Payara Server 5 is coming with Microprofile 1.2 support
and synched up with GlassFish 5 the JavaEE 8 reference
implementation. Payara 5 includes a new domain data grid based on
Hazelcast that provides out of the box cluster support for Cloud
environments with zero configuration. In this talk, Kenji Hasunuma
will demonstrate the creation of a fully scalable, high
availability Payara 5 infrastructure on Microsoft Azure.
7:25 – 8:25PM – Introduction to Hazelcast Jet, the new Fast
Big Data Platform – Greg Luck (Hazelcast)Jet is a new, Apache 2
licensed, DAG-based platform for stream and batch processing. In
this talk, Greg Luck, Hazelcast CEO/CTO will introduce you to the
architecture and provide coding examples. Jet can replace Spark and
provide greater speed and much simpler deployment – it’s a 10MB Jar
with no dependencies other than those you need for connectors,
which you can easily embed into your application.
8:30 – 9:00PM – Microservice meets Payara on k8s with Istio
on Azure – Yoshio Terada (Microsoft)Recently Kubernetes has
been attracting interest in terms of performing orchestration of
Docker containers. In this session, we introduce a method for
implementing microservice on Kubernetes using Payara/Hazelcast. The
demonstration will introduce a new way of realizing a circuit
breaker and deployment such as Blue Green/Canary, using service
mesh technology called Istio. The presentation will also introduce
the distributed tracing tool Zipkin, which shows the latency
between service calls, and will also demonstrate real-time system
monitoring using Grafana.
9:05 – 9:30PM – The Start of a New Future for Java –
Simon Ritter (Azul)JDK 9 has been released and at the same time
a number of announcements have been made about how Java will be
released and how updates will be made available through the
OpenJDK. In this session, we'll take a look at what those
announcements are and how these changes will impact decisions about
which versions of Java to use for deploying microservice-based
applications in the cloud.
9:30 – 10:30PM - Networking, Food & Drinks“Payara
