This document discusses MicroProfile, which aims to optimize Enterprise Java for microservices architectures. It provides examples of lightweight Java EE implementations like Payara Micro that reduce file size and startup time. MicroProfile seeks to standardize common microservices patterns through a rapid release process. The first release includes configurations, JSON processing and CDI. Future areas of focus include fault tolerance, health checking and metrics. A demo application shows various implementations deploying a microservices application with minimal resource usage. The document advocates for the Java EE community to collaborate on MicroProfile and influence the future direction of the Java EE platform.
