The mission of the book is to make you familiar with the tools that you can use to develop and deploy Java EE applications in the cloud. You will be led through the whole application development process: creating the application, deploying in the cloud, configuring Continuous Integration, and secure and fault-tolerant communication between the created services . As a result, you will gain practical knowledge of Java EE cloud development, which you can use as a reference for your further projects.

, Java EE and Modern Architectural Methodologies, gives users an overview of the current state of Java EE and its relevance to modern architectural methodologies, that is, microservices and cloud computing . We will introduce the tools that will be used throughout the book and the application that we will be developing.

, Getting Familiar with WildFly Swarm, covers WildFly and how it relates to Java EE and its main features. We will introduce WildFly SwarmWildFly's side projectdescribe its purpose, and show how it can be used to develop microservices.

, Right-Sizing Your Services, focuses on what Swarm does to create your services with only those dependencies that are necessary for them. You will learn in greater detail what a fraction is , how Swarm detects which fractions should be used, and how you can modify the fraction discovery behavior.
