4.1. Supported Artifacts introduced in this release

No artifacts have been moved from Technology Preview to fully supported in this release.

This section describes the Technology Preview artifacts introduced in this release.

The following artifacts are provided as Technology Preview in the 4.3 release.

vertx-grpc-client
The Eclipse Vert.x gRPC Client is a new Google Remote Procedure Call (gRPC) client that relies on the Eclipse Vert.x HTTP client. The Eclipse Vert.x gRPC Client provides two alternative ways to interact with a server:
- A gRPC request-and-response-oriented API that does not require a generated stub
- A generated stub with a gRPC channel
  Note
  The Eclipse Vert.x gRPC Client supersedes the integrated Netty-based gRPC client.
vertx-grpc-server
The Eclipse Vert.x gRPC Server is a new Google Remote Procedure Call (gRPC) server that relies on the Eclipse Vert.x HTTP server. The Eclipse Vert.x gRPC Server provides two alternative ways to interact with a client:
- A gRPC request-and-response-oriented API that does not require a generated stub
- A generated stub with a service bridge
  Note
  The Eclipse Vert.x gRPC Server supersedes the integrated Netty-based gRPC server.
vertx-grpc-common
The Eclipse Vert.x gRPC Common artifact provides common functionality that the Eclipse Vert.x gRPC Client and the Eclipse Vert.x gRPC Server both use.
vertx-grpc-aggregator
The Eclipse Vert.x gRPC Aggregator consists of a Project Object Model (POM) file. The Eclipse Vert.x gRPC Aggregator does not provide any additional functionality.

The following artifacts that were available as Technology Preview from previous 4.x releases continue to be Technology Preview in this release.

vertx-auth-otp
The Eclipse Vert.x OTP Auth provider is an implementation of the AuthenticationProvider interface that uses one-time passwords to perform authentication. The Eclipse Vert.x OTP Auth provider supports the Google Authenticator. You can use any convenient library to create the quick response (QR) with a key. You can also transfer the key in base32 format.
vertx-oracle-client
The Eclipse Vert.x reactive Oracle client is a client for the Oracle server. It is an API that helps in database scalability and has low overhead. Because the API is reactive and non-blocking, you can handle multiple database connections with a single thread.
Note
The Eclipse Vert.x reactive Oracle client requires that you use the Oracle JDBC driver. Red Hat does not provide support for the Oracle JDBC driver.
The Eclipse Vert.x reactive Oracle client requires that you use JDK 11 or JDK 17.
vertx-http-proxy
The Eclipse Vert.x HTTP proxy is a reverse proxy. Using this module you can easily create proxies. The proxy server can also dynamically resolve the DNS queries from origin server.
vertx-web-proxy
The Eclipse Vert.x web proxy enables you to mount an Eclipse Vert.x HTTP proxy in an Eclipse Vert.x web router.
vertx-opentelemetry
Open Telemetry tracing is supported. You can use Open Telemetry for HTTP and event bus tracing.
