Hands-on Labs for Modern Application Development

This workshop aims to showcase how to modernize applications for solving the challenges faced by existing applications in the current landscape as below:

• Integration: Challenging to leverage new cloud based services
• Scalability: Not able to meet web scale due to data-centric architecture
• Reliability: Unable to quickly deploy new capabilities
• Developer productivity and Business Agility: Often low in comparison to cloud native applications

Take a look at the Konveyor Community’s Application Modernization Report for 2022 to understand how users and organizations define application modernization as well as top reasons for modernization.

Key Takeaways

• Modernization has a broad spectrum of definitions, but containerizing and automation rank high.
• The containerizing is a broad enough trend to encompass multiple strategies including refactoring with Microservices.
• Increasing scalability and reliability are key reasons for modernization.

Technology Stack

• Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization
• Red Hat Runtimes (Quarkus, Spring Boot, Node.js, Tomcat)
• Red Hat OpenShift (Pipeline, GitOps, Virtualization)
• Oracle Database and PostgreSQL
