Jakarta EE still carries a lot of baggage from its Java EE days — that it’s outdated, not responsive, and no longer relevant because "everyone has moved to Spring." But are these opinions actually based on facts and a real understanding of the project?

In this talk, we’ll explore what Jakarta EE really is — and probably more importantly, what it’s not.
Is it a competitor to Spring? Is it still relevant today? What’s its relationship with MicroProfile? How many of us are actually using Jakarta EE in our projects?
And finally, is there anything new happening in Jakarta EE?

Join me for an interactive session where we’ll tackle these questions together. Be warned though: strong opinions may be expressed.
