Use the agentsJava service

The Java agent deploys Spring Boot and Quarkus applications (Micronaut in the generative path) and is currently the platform’s most heavily verified agent: its topologies are the ones exercised by the published reliability campaigns on proof.hivedeploy.in.

Supported topologies

CloudTopologies
GCPCloud Run (single + multi-service) · GKE (standard, hardened, multi-zone HA) · 3-VM Compute Engine (api + workers) · Managed Instance Group + global HTTPS LB
AWSFargate HA · EKS · Auto Scaling Group + ALB · 3-VM EC2 · Lambda SnapStart

Ask for anything else and the generative path plans it — behind the same gates and health verification. Verified generative successes are promoted into the deterministic template library (how that works).

What the agent handles for you

  • Build: your source (repo or zip) is built inside your cloud — Cloud Build on GCP, CodeBuild on AWS — and images are pinned by digest, so a deploy can never pick up a stale image.
  • JVM sizing: instance/machine types are chosen for JVM memory behavior, and the runtime gets JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS heap bounds plus a restart policy. Undersized asks get bumped rather than deployed as crash-loops.
  • Health contract: probes try /actuator/health and the standard candidate paths automatically. If your app exposes Spring Actuator with DB health indicators, backing-store connectivity shows up in the health verification’s connection measurement for free.
  • Workers: headless workers (queue consumers, SERVICE=worker processes) are routed to platforms that allow non-HTTP containers — never onto Cloud Run, which requires every service to bind $PORT.

Conventions worth following

  • Expose Spring Actuator (spring-boot-starter-actuator) — it gives the platform a health path and store-aware checks with zero custom code.
  • Externalize store config via environment (SPRING_DATASOURCE_URL, SPRING_DATA_MONGODB_URI, Redis host/port vars) — the platform injects credentials for the datasources you declared at Gate 3.
  • Keep the app booting in under ~3 minutes on your chosen tier; load balancers only start routing after first health pass.

When something fails

The per-cloud pages cover every recurring class and whether it self-heals: GCP · AWS.

Two Java-specific ones to know: small-instance JVM OOM (auto-hardened — see the AWS page) and Cloud Run’s external /healthz 404 (Google front-end behavior, auto-handled — see the GCP page).
