Hello,
Does any one have any suggestion to find jobs asking for OSGi skills?
I already tried the following “key words”:
- OSGi
- Karaf
- Felix
- Life Ray
- Adobe AEM
It seems to me very scarce, and difficult to find because are too much Java jobs (using Spring), and very bad search engines in jobs web sites (many report results that actually does not contain the key word asked for, like LinkedIn ).
My ideal job would entail just learn modern plain modern Java and JVM and OSGi and avoid Spring and tons of frameworks and utilities. There are some vacancies in OSGi - Working group?
Regards
I think you are on the right track, but OSGi is pretty nice these days.
OSGi has it’s place and is a great tool if you have requirements where OSGi is good at (e.g. need a powerful module system with versioning, and dynamic 0-downtime deployments, the Requirements&Capability concept). Not all software projects have this need and the ones you mentioned above are projects that have that need.
My personal take is: all system which have some kind of a “Plugin System” which need to be “always online” are good candidates and could benefit from OSGi. OSGi is coming from the embedded world like home-automation, cars etc. For example https://www.aicas.com/ are using OSGi in their software which is deployed in cars around the world.
