12 Factor AppBest Practices for JVM Deployment

12 Factor AppBest Practices for JVM Deployment

Java doesn’t suck when you do things this way

XML sucks

10 page wikis to set up your app suck

Incongruent environments suck

DEV ≠ PROD

Apps that take more than 30 seconds to start up suck

Recompiling your entire codebase after fixing a typo sucks

Monolithic apps suck

The Java language sucks

But Java doesn’t suck

What does modern Javadevelopment look like?

Configuration belongs in the environment, not in the application

Configuration should be strictly separated from code
