Exploring Stateful Microservices in a Cloud Native World

Dive into the world of stateful microservices in cloud-native environments with this 39-minute Devoxx conference talk by Grace Jansen. Explore the challenges and considerations when architecting systems with microservices and REST API endpoints, focusing on the crucial decision of where to store state. Examine the misconception that cloud-native systems should always be stateless, as suggested by the 12-factor guidelines, and learn why this approach may not always be optimal. Discover the importance of making informed technology stack choices to ensure system scalability and performance as demands evolve. Gain insights into handling state in a stateful world while maintaining data integrity and security. Through demonstrations, understand the fundamentals of building a cloud-native system with stateful microservices using Open Liberty and MicroProfile, providing you with practical knowledge to make informed architectural decisions in your projects.
