    Is microservices and serveless computing the same thing?

    A service can be deployed as a function in a serverless manner. Microservices refer to your application design. Serverless usually refers to deploying what you have as functions or in a serverless environment.

    How do you compare MicroProfile with using Spring Boot?

    They are comparable. MicroProfile is an open, community-driven, vendor-neutral set of specifications for microservices.  It offers what Spring has and is simpler.  You can find more information in this blog series.

    With Liberty, you can build and deploy as JARs in a Spring Boot-like manner.  You can also build and deploy as WARs and optimized for containers too.

    is OpenLiberty ready for production or we must use WebSphere Liberty instead?

    Open Liberty is ready for production and you can buy support license.

    Open Liberty is the core of WebSphere Liberty. While some features such as OAUTH are not part of the open source package, it provides the same quality of service for the kernel and the features provided by Open Liberty. Therefore it is ready to be used in production.
    If you want to use Open Liberty in production, you could buy support for those instances from IBM.
    You can find more details about the support offering at:

    Do you suggest using MicroProfile and not Spring Boot for all new microservices implementation?

    Yes, we suggest that you consider using MicroProfile.

    With MicroProfile, you have a programming model that is open, community-driven and vendor-neutral that is optimized for microservices.  Coupled it with Liberty, you can deploy in a lightweight manner (e.g. with WARs) and with a lightweight runtime/framework optimized for your cloud-native environments.

    (As an aside, Liberty supports Spring Boot too.  So, with Liberty as the runtime, you still have flexibility and choice.)
