Develop cloud-native Java microservices

Open Liberty starts up fast, with a low memory footprint and live reload for quick iteration. Adding and removing features from the latest versions of MicroProfile and Jakarta EE. And with zero migration, you focus on what's important, not the APIs changing under you.
