  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • kubernetes-client

    Java client for Kubernetes & OpenShift

  • In terms of spinning up and managing everything, like, the stuff that's not Java apps. But some of the old fabric8 work - the predecessor to jKube - provides Java APIs and utilities to doing things like writing kubernetes operators in Java. Check out the kubernetes-client project. A lot of people never even learn about kubernetes operators, and just think "I have a service, la la la" plug their ears and then assume there will be some magic operational team that will deploy some service mesh app to solve all their problems.

  • quarkus-quickstarts

    Quarkus quickstart code (by Serkan80)

  • You can see the code here: https://github.com/Serkan80/quarkus-quickstarts/tree/development/redis-streams-quickstart

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • jkube

    Build and Deploy java applications on Kubernetes

  • I've experimented with jkube, and had pretty decent experiences with it. But it is very much it's own thing, and is kind of a very Maven-oriented workflow that replaces things like, well, Helm. (Which, IMO, isn't a bad thing. Helm is still wonky in many ways.) I bring helm up, because the place where I was experimenting with this went full steam on helm templating in a way that was wildly stupid. There was this bizarre approach of using helm calling terraform instead of using the kubernetes terraform operator (don't get me started). jKube didn't work that well with that, but only because of the utter stupidity.
