Thorntail is the new name for WildFly Swarm, and bundles everything you need to develop and run Thorntail and MicroProfile applications by packaging server runtime libraries with your application code and running it with java -jar.

This post shows how easy it is to link Java MicroProfile apps to Microsoft Azure services through the Open Service Broker for Azure. To do that, it describes the steps for reproducing a demo application, based on the popular game Minesweeper, that was presented at the recently concluded Microsoft Ignite 2018 conference in Orlando.

In this post, we will deploy the existing Coolstore microservices demo as a service mesh and start to demonstrate the tangible value you can get out of the system without any major rewrite or rearchitecture of the existing app. We'll also improve our project along the way to adhere to Istio best practices.

distributed architectures introduce more complexity, services meshes can help soften the landing and shift some of that complexity out of our applications and place it where it belongs, in the application operational layer: Bringing Coolstore Microservices to the Service Mesh: Part 1 - Exploring auto-injection
