The Many Ways Jakarta EE Opens the Door to Innovation

As we lead up to the Jakarta EE 10 release and a very busy fall, we thought it would be a good time to take a closer look at how Jakarta EE is enabling new innovations in cloud native application development.

To get started, Ivar Grimstad takes us through the main reasons organizations of all sizes, and with varied interests, are adopting Jakarta EE and contributing to the technology code base.

Tetiana Fydorenchyk follows up with a look at the Cargo Tracker application and explains how the Jelastic team deployed the application to a Kubernetes environment using GitHub Actions workflows.

We also introduce you to Jan Supol, a dedicated committer to 12 Jakarta EE projects under the EE4J umbrella.

And finally, in our Community Updates section, we highlight upcoming opportunities to connect with your fellow community members and learn more about Jakarta EE and the other technologies hosted at the Eclipse Foundation.

Happy reading,
Shabnam Mayel
