A Java Developer's Survival Guide for the Cloud
summary
A concise survival kit: concrete runtimes, frameworks, and practices that actually change outcomes. Uses Eclipse Termurin (Adoptium) with >500M combined downloads for secure JVMs; recommends MicroProfile and Vert.x for metrics and reactive IO; shows Quarkus doing build-time optimization so native hello-world is ~12 MB and native startup is sub-second, plus Quarkus dev mode that auto-provisions test containers, supports live coding, continuous testing, remote Dev into Kubernetes, and integrates Kafka, Keycloak, OpenTelemetry, and GitOps checks.
