The java-micro platform lets developers build and configure environment, command-line, and external services
Implementing microservices in Java has become a top priority at Oracle, which is rebooting Java Enterprise Edition for microservices and cloud deployments. Meanwhile, another microservices effort for Java has emerged separate from Oracle.
Attributed to Sixt, a rental car service operating worldwide, the lightweight java-micro framework enables developers to easily set up microservices in Java. Developers can build services as a Docker container or fat jar package, and they can configure environment, command-line, and external services.
The framework features a pluggable service registry for registering and discovering service instances, while event-handling is done via the kafka distributed streaming platform.
