Explore the journey of modernizing a Java-based rule engine for serverless environments in this 43-minute Devoxx conference talk. Discover how project lead Mario Fusco transformed Drools, Red Hat's rule engine, to be cloud-ready using technologies like GraalVM and Quarkus. Learn about the challenges faced when adapting code that heavily relies on reflection, dynamic class loading, and other advanced Java techniques. Gain practical insights from real-world use cases on migrating legacy projects to modern, serverless architectures. Understand the importance of separating domain-specific constraints from main application flows and how rule engines can be leveraged beyond traditional enterprise software products.
