Many companies use old and expensive Java EE servers like WebSphere or WebLogic. If you're considering moving away from them, this session is for you. We'll explore three main options: widely used SpringBoot framework, modern open-source Jakarta EE servers like GlassFish, and emerging choices like Quarkus and Piranha Cloud.

Through live demos and discussions, we'll compare these options in terms of how easy it is to get started, how straightforward it is to migrate from Java EE, how developer-friendly they are, and what features they offer for production. We'll also look at the evolution of the Jakarta EE ecosystem and how it currently compares to SpringBoot.

Whether you're a developer, a DevOps engineer, or an architect, this session will give you practical insights and help you make informed choices about your Java stack. Join me to find out the answer to the question: Should you migrate from Java EE - to SpringBoot or something else?
