This week's topics cover various aspects of modern enterprise Java development. The articles discuss practical steps for building and deploying cloud-native Java applications, particularly using Quarkus. Key areas include leveraging frameworks like Quarkus for efficient development, mastering dependency injection with CDI, and configuring applications for performance and minimal resource usage.

We also looked into crucial operational and security considerations. This includes understanding and implementing TLS/SSL for secure communication, generating Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) for dependency tracking and vulnerability management, and effectively deploying applications to platforms like OpenShift. Runtime management is explored through Galleon layers in JBoss EAP 8.1 Beta for creating trimmed, efficient server distributions and Bootable JARs.

Furthermore, we discussed the evolving landscape for Java developers, outlining essential skills for 2025 and beyond, covering areas like cloud-native development, AI/ML integration, data fluency, platform engineering, and soft skills. A critical discussion point is the impact of Oracle's Java LTS licensing changes and presenting Red Hat OpenJDK as a supported alternative for enterprises seeking stability and predictable costs.
