RandomStrings – Using Jakarta EE + MicroProfile

A demo project built with Jakarta EE and MicroProfile – a service that returns random combination of an adjective and a noun as a JSON list.

Local Build and Run

Building and Running the Application Locally

The code can be deployed to several runtimes. This is done to illustrate the switching runtimes with minor changes to the code and to observe the performance.

Runtime Build Run Address
Open Liberty mvn -f pom-liberty.xml clean package java -jar target/randomstrings.jar http://localhost:8080/api/rnd
Quarkus mvn -f pom-quarkus.xml clean package java -jar target/quarkus-app/quarkus-run.jar http://localhost:8080/api/rnd
Helidon mvn -f pom-helidon.xml clean package java -jar target/randomstrings.jar http://localhost:8080/api/rnd

Note: You can run your Quarkus application in dev mode that enables live code reloading:

./mvnw -f pom-quarkus.xml quarkus:dev

Building and Running the Application Locally in a Container

All containers are multistage build containers and can be found in a folder structure for each runtime and are marked with jvm and native, depending on flavour you want to build. The same containers are used to create images for the Cloud deployments as well.

Building Container Images and Cloud Deployment: Cloud Build and Cloud Run

Build, Add, Deploy

Build images using Cloud Build, add to the registry and deploy to Cloud Run

Runtime Build & Deploy to Cloud Run
Quarkus – JVM gcloud builds submit --substitutions=_APP_RUNTIME="quarkus",_APP_RUNTIME_FLAVOUR="jvm"
Quarkus – Native gcloud builds submit --substitutions=_APP_RUNTIME="quarkus",_APP_RUNTIME_FLAVOUR="native"
OpenLiberty – JVM gcloud builds submit --substitutions=_APP_RUNTIME="liberty",_APP_RUNTIME_FLAVOUR="jvm"
Helidon – JVM gcloud builds submit --substitutions=_APP_RUNTIME="helidon",_APP_RUNTIME_FLAVOUR="jvm"
Helidon – Native gcloud builds submit --substitutions=_APP_RUNTIME="helidon",_APP_RUNTIME_FLAVOUR="native"

Application Setup and Links

Port Configuration

Cloud Run uses port 8080 by default. All runtimes are configured to expose that port. These configurations are done in:

Runtime Port Config
Quarkus defaults to 8080
OpenLiberty setup in server.xml
Helidon setup in microprofile-config.properties

Config

Lets you provide configuration parameters for your application (specification).

The example class RandomStringsSupplier shows you how to configure and define default values for variables.

Health

Available at: <URL>/health.

The health status can be used to determine if the 'computing node' needs to be discarded/restarted or not (specification). These probes (liveness, readiness, startup) are available at separate URLs and can easily be integrated with the Cloud's health checks as they return HTTP codes (and human-readable) responses.

The class ServiceHealthCheck contains an example of a custom check which can be integrated to health status checks of the instance.

The index page contains a link to the status data.

Metrics

Available at: <URL>/metrics.

The Metrics exports Telemetric data in a uniform way of system and custom resources (specification).

The class RandomStringsController contains an example how you can measure the execution time of a request. The index page also contains a link to the metric page.

Open API

Available at: <URL>/openapi.

Exposes the information about your endpoints in the format of the OpenAPI v3 specification (docs).

The index page contains a link to the OpenAPI information of the available endpoints for this project.

CRaC

This is an example of how application using CRaC can be set-up. See shell scripts in crac folder for more details.

# 1. build the image
cd src/scripts/crac; ./checkpoint.sh

# 2. tag the image
export PROJECT_ID=$(gcloud config list --format 'value(core.project)')
echo   $PROJECT_ID

docker tag randomstrings-crac:checkpoint europe-north1-docker.pkg.dev/${PROJECT_ID}/rndstrs/randomstrings-crac

# 3. push the image to GCR
docker push europe-north1-docker.pkg.dev/${PROJECT_ID}/rndstrs/randomstrings-crac

# 4. deploy the image to Cloud Run
gcloud run deploy randomstrings-quarkus-crac  \
--image=europe-north1-docker.pkg.dev/${PROJECT_ID}/rndstrs/randomstrings-crac \
--execution-environment=gen2  \
--allow-unauthenticated \
--region=europe-north1 \
--args="--cap-add CHECKPOINT_RESTORE --cap-add SETPCAP -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+IgnoreCPUFeatures"
