Overview: How to manage microservices using OpenShift Dev Spaces and JKube

OpenShift Dev Spaces and JKube

Microservice architecture has become the go-to approach for building complex applications due to its ability to create and manage multiple independent components. However, developing, deploying, and updating these components can be challenging tasks. This is where Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces and Eclipse JKube come in to simplify the process.

In this exercise, we will deploy and update a distributed application on the fly using OpenShift Dev Spaces and Eclipse JKube. OpenShift Dev Spaces is a cloud development environment platform that allows developers to code, test, and deploy applications using web-based IDE. Eclipse JKube, on the other hand, is a Kubernetes-based plugin that enables developers to build and deploy Java applications on Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift clusters.

Together, OpenShift Dev Spaces and Eclipse JKube provide a powerful flow for developing and deploying microservice applications. We will explore the step-by-step process of setting up a development environment, building a microservice application, and deploying it to the cluster. We will also look at how to easily update the application for development purposes.

By the end of this exercise, you will have a better understanding of how to develop, deploy, and manage microservices using OpenShift Dev Spaces and Eclipse JKube.
