gRPC Meets Jakarta EE

Explore the integration of gRPC with Jakarta EE in this informative conference talk by Ron Sigal from Red Hat. Learn about recent extensions to open source projects WildFly and RESTEasy that support gRPC functionality. Discover how WildFly's gRPC subsystem extends the advantages of running inside an application server to gRPC services, including transaction management for database accesses. Understand the simplicity of engaging the gRPC subsystem by adding a jar with an implementation of io.grpc.BindableService. Delve into the resteasy-grpc project, which exposes existing Jakarta REST services to gRPC clients, automating the generation of appropriate .proto files and mediating classes. Gain insights into using a maven archetype to streamline the process of generating necessary files and classes for gRPC integration. This 24-minute talk aims to bridge the gap between Jakarta EE and gRPC ecosystems, offering valuable knowledge for developers working with these technologies.
