New LiveRebel 2.5 ‘Config Scripts’ intelligently manage Java apps

Update Java Apps and dependencies without hassles

LiveRebel is a Continuous Delivery tool that helps you take Java apps to users faster. It instantly deploys apps across the QA and production environments in cloud, virtual or physical servers, and it does it all with zero downtime and no session loss, making LiveRebel unique in the market.

A Java application rarely consists of just Java code. It includes multiple interdependent components – a database, JMS, other dependent applications, native libraries, resources in a CDN and so on. The point is, regularly deploying these apps manually can be cumbersome for operations teams – why not automate the process, recording each step along the way with an audit trail?

For this reason, the LiveRebel team at ZeroTurnaround wanted to introduce Configuration Scripts (aka “Config Scripts”), an intelligent feature that helps you automate the deployment of your Java app and its dependencies using any of your existing deployment scripts from a single viewpoint.

Jevgeni Kabanov: ZeroTurnaround wants to represent you in the Java standards body

Perhaps you’ve heard of the JCP (Java Community Process) before, but in case you don’t follow what is happening with Java standards, the JCP is the body that defines ALL Java standards. Here’s a few facts about the it:

  • The JCP defined Java standards through Java Specification Requests (JSRs), which deliver a written specification, reference implementation and acceptance tests to validate other implementations
  • JSRs are headed by the Specification Lead and discussed in an Expert Group (EG)
  • Then, the JCP Executive Committee (JCP EC) approves the creation and release of JSRs as well as whether they can be bundled into Java EE, Java SE or Java ME distributions.

Now here’s the kicker – JCP membership is open and FREE to all individuals.

Well-placed Fruit and the Zen of Finding Your Product-Market Match

I’m a bit of a workout enthusiast, and, at the suggestion of one of our salespeople here at ZeroTurnaround, I am trying out this new “upscale” gym in Boston. This morning, I was leaving the gym and feeling healthy, and there was a guy at the exit handing out free plums. He told me that they were locally-grown plums from Lancaster, MA, then told me that he was opening up a new store for this kind of local, fresh produce “just around the corner.”

As an entrepreneur and business enthusiast, I thought, “Hmmm… this guy’s got a pretty good idea of his product-market match.” Why?

1. He’s got fresh, local produce

2. He’s setting up a small store where he sells the produce at premium prices

3. He’s close to health-conscious people who are willing to pay higher prices for things like gyms and better food.
