Building Micro-services with OSGi & Apache Karaf

Micro-services follow the same modular principles as OSGi bundles; they are meant to be granular, replaceable, and independently deployable services that communicate with each other using network protocols. This approach to software reduces coupling, reduces software complexity, and enforces a separation of concerns. This session introduces Apache Karaf, a container powered by OSGi, and demonstrates how to rapidly deploy micro-service bundles in order to leverage the benefits of a modular system. OSGi is an open specification that is used in various applications such as Eclipse, JIRA and Confluence.
