Getting started with Netty

Getting started with Netty by Francesco Marchioni

Francesco’s tutorial introduces you to Netty a client/server framework that provides a simplified layer over non-blocking I/O networking. The introduction briefly describes the notable features that Netty provides. The first part of the tutorial section explains how you can create a simple echo server. The second part shows you how you can expand it by adding a separate Netty Client with its own Handler, and also demonstrates how to send a String between the client and the server over the event loop.

Why you should migrate your Java workloads to OpenShift

Ioannis Kanellos opens his article with a brief history of service binding solutions for Kubernetes developers and follows it up with a demonstration of a developer workflow centered around binding an external database service to an application in a cloud environment. With plenty of code examples and technical detail, Ioannis walks you through provisioning a database service, writing a Quarkus app for simplified data access with Hibernate with Panache, generating the service binding resources using the Service Binding Operator, and deploying your project to a containerized Kubernetes cluster running on your local machine.
