Developing with Quarkus: The way SpringBoot was meant to be

The rumours of Java's demise are false and nothing proves this more definitively than Quarkus!

Quarkus is an open source framework for Java that keeps both developers AND operators happy. Developers will love the productivity gains they see as they use Quarkus' live reload functionality, extensive modern library support, and ""superposition"" of reactive and imperative code. Operators will love Quarkus' sevenfold reduction in memory requirements (over standard java) and 200x faster startup.

In this complimentary hands-on lab we will investigate all aspects of this exciting new framework that makes Java suitable for modern cloud native development.

Topics covered include:

• Quarkus live reload
• Native compilation support
• ORM simplification with Panache
• Quarkus API Documentation and Testing support.
• Introduction to a number of Quarkus' modern extension libraries.

Participants should use their own personal laptop, and be familiar with general application development concepts and have basic skills with the following:

• Java^TM programming
• Apache Maven build tool
• Linux command line and OpenShift command line
• Linux containers and Docker
• Open source monitoring/tracing tools (e.g., Jaeger, Prometheus, Grafana)
• Entry- level Kubernetes concepts
• Entry- level Service Mesh (e.g., Istio) concepts

Come see for yourself why companies like Vodafone have kicked SpringBoot to the curb. Quarkus is supersonic, subatomic Java that makes enterprise development fun again.
