Enterprise Java Can Do Games Too!

Channel

Wait, can I make online multiplayer games with Enterprise Java?

YES! Games are not limited to only graphical and creative-focused frameworks and engines like Unity or Unreal Engine! In the Java World, you can use any Enterprise Java framework to implement a robust backend services infrastructure that will service the visual components of your game! The purpose of this talk is to present a common set of strategies that will outline how to handle the general aspects of online multiplayer games like:

- Managing Game and World State
- Communication Strategy
- Handling Player Interactions
- General Configuration Management
- Scaling Servers based on Concurrent Playerbase

This talk showcases practical strategies for managing these challenges, with examples using Jakarta EE and Eclipse MicroProfile—the current standards for cloud-ready enterprise Java applications.

Presented by Fabio Turizo (Payara) during JavaOne 2025.
