Setting Up Your Development Environment

Abstract

To develop cloud-native applications, you need a development environment. A development environment includes a set of tools and software you use to write, compile, test, and run your code. Setting up your development environment can seem daunting, but with the right instructions, it can be easy and straightforward. This chapter shows you how to set up your development environment for Java-based cloud-native applications. It includes detailed information about the necessary installation and configuration steps to get started with the required tools for your development environment. It covers the prerequisites and installation instructions for Java Development Kit (JDK), Maven, Git, Docker, and Kubernetes. It also discusses the benefits of using Docker and Kubernetes.
