In this chapter, we talked about Java EE and the fact that it's a great platform for building modern and lightweight web services. We had a look at the different APIs of Java EE 8 and the latest advances, with a focus on the more microservice-relevant APIs, such as JAX-RS, JSON-B, and JSON-P. We then developed, built, and ran our Java-EE-8-powered microservice and deployed it locally to the Payara Server. In the final section, we containerized and ran our Java EE 8 microservice using Docker.
In the next chapter, we'll do a deep dive into building synchronous web services and clients using the relevant JAX-RS APIs.
