Red Hat JBoss EAP
Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) is a middleware platform for developing, deploying, and hosting enterprise Java applications. It provides a certified, secure, and scalable runtime environment based on the Jakarta EE (formerly Java EE) specification, with features like clustering, high availability, and management tools. It is widely used in enterprise environments for mission-critical applications requiring reliability and performance.
Developers should learn JBoss EAP when building enterprise-grade Java applications that need robust security, scalability, and compliance with Jakarta EE standards, such as in financial services, healthcare, or government sectors. It is particularly valuable for projects requiring integration with other Red Hat products, like OpenShift or RHEL, and for organizations prioritizing certified, supported middleware solutions over open-source alternatives like WildFly.
