The innovations in cloud computing bring many new options for Java architects. Architecture styles range from traditional monoliths to container-based microservices or even "serverless" functions. But the possibilities of services and stacks are so many that choosing the most adequate one can be overwhelming. This presentation is a guide through common implementation patterns for Java applications in the cloud.

The AWS Well Architected Framework will be used as a reference assessment of security, reliability, performance efficiency, cost optimization, and operational excellence. Although each organization will have its own peculiar needs, all share at least some concern for these key requirements. This talk presents reference implementations, tools, and samples, focused on the peculiarities of the Java platform and frameworks.

Join this practical "state of the union" presentation and let's share practices and examples for well-architected Java backends.
