Jakarta Security and Rest in the Cloud: Part 2 Getting to Know the Basics

Security is generally a topic that we always leave out when we talk about software architecture, but that does not mean that it is not essential. To talk more about the subject, we created this series on Java API security with Jakarta EE. In this second part, we will speak of the BASIC authentication process, how to implement it with a non-relational database, in this case, MongoDB, and how to quickly take it to the cloud.

BASIC is an authentication process where the user needs to enter their respective credentials, such as username and password, through each request in the header when they want to make a request to the server. In this case, the request header will have an Authorization: Basic <credential> where the credential is the username and password separated by “:” encoded using Base 64.

Deploy Quarkus Faster in The Cloud with Platform.sh. Part 2: PostgreSQL with JPA

Quarkus is, in its own words, a cloud-native, (Linux) container-first framework for writing Java applications. It has become popular lately because of the amazingly fast boot time, incredibly low RSS memory. In this series of articles about Quarkus, we'll discuss how to deploy a Quarkus application even faster to the cloud with Platform.sh.

The first step is to create the application itself, and Quarkus has proper documentation. You have either a Maven Archetype or the start code link where you can define the dependencies that you need to write your application.

Deploy Quarkus Faster in the Cloud with Platform.sh. Part 4: Hibernate Search With Elasticsearch

Quarkus is, in its own words, a Cloud Native, (Linux) Container First framework for writing Java applications. It has become popular because of the amazingly fast boot time, incredibly low RSS memory. In this series of articles about Quarkus, we'll teach you how to deploy Quarkus with Hibernate search with Elasticsearch.

Full-text searching provides the capability to identify natural-language documents that satisfy a query, and optionally to sort them by relevance to the query.  Hibernate Search automatically extracts data from Hibernate ORM entities to push it to local Apache Lucene indexes or remote Elasticsearch indexes.

Deploy Quarkus Faster in the Cloud With Platform.sh Part 3: PostgreSQL With Panache

Quarkus is, in its own words, a Cloud Native, (Linux) Container First framework for writing Java applications. It has become popular because of the amazingly fast boot time and incredibly low RSS memory. In this series of articles about Quarkus, we'll teach how to deploy Quarkus with Panache.

Hibernate ORM is the de facto JPA implementation and offers you the full breadth of an Object Relational Mapper. It makes complex mappings possible, but it does not make simple and common mappings trivial. Hibernate ORM with Panache focuses on making your entities trivial and fun to write in Quarkus.

Spring MVC and MongoDB: A Match Made in Platform.sh Heaven

How difficult is it for a Java developer to create an application that needs to handle front-end technology? It’s a difficult question — and one that I hear every single day from back-end developers. So, how can we solve it in the Spring world? Well, with Spring MVC.

Spring MVC makes it easy to create stand-alone, production-grade, Spring-based applications that you can just run. In this post, we’ll show the perfect union between Spring MVC, the MongoDB database, and the NoSQL database most popular around the globe, running in the cloud on Platform.sh.
