Thorntail is a MicroProfile certified framework for building cloud-native applications using Enterprise Java components.

Thorntail is based on the popular WildFly Java application server and enables the creation of small, stand-alone microservice-based applications. Thorntail is capable of producing so-called just enough app-server to support each component of your system. Thorntail can be deployed as a bootable JAR on Red Hat Enterprise Linux or as a container on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.

Thorntail applications are built using maven artifacts that can be downloaded from the Red Hat Customer Portal or accessed online using the JBoss Enterprise Maven Repository.
