 A microservices adventure
• Exemplar microservices application
– Ployglot
• Core services built using Liberty and Java EE7
• Deployed using Cloud Foundry, Container, and Event-driven runtimes

– Parity between development and test

• Lightweight runtimes and Docker containers support production-like local development

– Ease of integration and extension

• Use Java EE7 and Liberty to create extensions for the game
• JAX-RS for Swagger defined REST APIs
• WebSockets and Rx-Java for asynchronous messaging.

– Open source and extensible

• An “adventure game” where each room is a microservice.
• Anyone can add a new microservice room to the game instance on Bluemix
• Rooms scored on availability and adherence to the Room API
• Rooms with the highest score move towards the middle of the map.

Deployment flexibility on additional cloud environments

“I want to run Liberty in a non-IBM PaaS on-premise, in Amazon and Azure. I want all
the components from IBM to be fully supported and I want to use subcapacity pricing.”
Elaine
Systems
Administrator

Solution Highlights:
1. A user can deploy Liberty apps in a Docker container to AWS or Azure.
2. A user can deploy Liberty apps to OpenShift and Pivotal Cloud Foundry
running locally and can apply sub-capacity charging through suitable
configuration.
3. A user can deploy Liberty apps to OpenShift and Pivotal Cloud Foundry
running in Softlayer, AWS or Azure, and can apply sub-capacity charging
through suitable configuration.

API Discovery with Swagger Doc
• New apiDiscovery-1.0 feature makes API from all applications
discoverable via a single RESTful endpoint: /ibm/api/docs
• APIs described using Swagger 2.0 / Open API
• Query parameter allows filtering based on context root
• Supports both JSON and YAML (input and output)
• Specialized extension, /ibm/api/docs/apiconnect, for native integration with API

35
API Discovery Scenarios
• Liberty supports any path toward API discovery:

Top-Down (Documentation before Code)

– Embed an existing Swagger doc inside an application
– Swagger can be created manually or through an editor (e.g. API Connect, or
Swagger’s online editor)
Bottom-Up (Code before Documentation)
– Swagger doc is generated by the runtime based on annotations in the
application (JAX-RS, Swagger, or both)
Mixed
– Existing Swagger doc merged with generated Swagger from annotations
– E.g. Apps that have some JAX-RS and some non-JAX-RS services
36
API Discovery User Interface
• Based on the Open Source Swagger UI
• Available at /ibm/api/explorer

 What’s With the 16.0.0.2?
Liberty Continuous Delivery

WAS V9 introduces a new 9.0.0.0 service stream for traditional WAS fixpacks.
WAS Liberty follows a continuous delivery model with a single service stream – it makes no sense to
persist with a major version for Liberty fixpacks in a ‘versionless’ single delivery stream.
To properly reflect this we are changing Liberty fixpack numbering to:
Y.R.M.F: year.release.modlevel.fixpack
eg 16.0.0.4 would be the fourth fix pack in 2016

The next fixpack after 8.5.5.9 is the second fixpack of 2016 and is numbered 16.0.0.2.
Its just a number - there is no migration required at all to the first V9 release of Liberty: 16.0.0.2.
