This document provides an overview of developing microservices for the cloud using Java. It introduces microservices architecture and the WSO2 Microservices Framework for Java (MSF4J). It demonstrates how to develop a simple stock quote microservice using MSF4J annotations and deploy it in standalone and containerized modes. It also covers integrating microservices with Kubernetes and Docker for production deployments in the cloud. Hands-on code samples are provided to illustrate key concepts.
