light 4j online with Winfy

We have hosted the application light 4j in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about light 4j:

Light means lightweight, lightning-fast and shedding light on how to program with modern Java SE for cloud-native deployment. I had been working on the Java EE platforms since early 2000 and suffered performance and productivity issues. In 2014, I realized that the IT industry was moving from Monolithic to Microservices and from on-premise data centers to the public clouds. To reduce the production cost for my applications, I need to find a lightweight platform that has a small memory footprint, high throughput, and low latency in Java. Java EE and Spring/Spring Boot are too heavy to be considered. Other lightweight Java platforms all have different issues on the separation between the business logic and technical cross-cutting concerns. Moreover, they are not cloud-native or designed for container/cloud.

Features:

• Plugin architecture for startup/shutdown hooks and middleware components
• Distributed OAuth2 JWT security verification as part of the framework
• Request and response validation against OpenAPI specification at runtime
• Metrics collected in Influxdb/Prometheus and viewed from Grafana Dashboard for both services and clients
• Global exception handling for runtime exception, API exception, and other checked exceptions
• Mask sensitive data like the credit card, sin number, etc. before logging

Programming Language: Java.
