ActiveMQ Confusion and What comes with your JBoss EAP / WildFly
Oftentimes people talk to each other about using ActiveMQ, but they’re actually referring to different brokers.

Measuring the Lightweightness of Go by Looking at a Simple Web Service
by
Inspired by my article The lightweightness of microservices – Comparing Spring Boot, WildFly Swarm, and Haskell Snap, a colleague of mine implemented the same Web service using the Go programming language. You can find his code here: Bitbucket-repo. To compare his implementations with the other ones, I integrated it into the main project (GitHub-repo) and measured it. Here…

Monitoring the JBoss EAP / Wildfly Application Server with the Command Line Interface (CLI)
by
The JBoss EAP / Wildfly provides a powerful concept for management, configuration and monitoring of the JBoss Application Server itself and its Java EE Applications. The concept is based on the detyped management API. All management clients of the application server use this detyped management API to interact with the server. In this post we…
