Get the Quarkus Cookbook
Optimized for Kubernetes, Quarkus is designed to help you create Java applications that are cloud-first, container-native, and serverless capable. With this cookbook, authors Alex Soto Bueno and Jason Porter from Red Hat provide detailed solutions for installing, interacting with, and using Quarkus in the development and production of microservices
The recipes in this book show mid-level to senior developers familiar with Java enterprise application development how to get started with Quarkus quickly. You'll become familiar with how Quarkus works with the wider Java ecosystem and discover ways to adapt this framework to your particular needs,
In this book, you will learn how to
- Shorten the development cycle by enabling live reloading in dev mode
- Connect to and communicate with Kafka
- Develop with reactive programming model and easily add fault tolerance to your services
- Build your application as a Kubernetes-ready cluster
- Ease development with OpenAPI and test a native Quarkus application.

5 steps to manage your first API using Red Hat OpenShift API Management
February 23, 2021Companies are increasingly using hosted and managed services to deliver on application modernization efforts and reduce the burden of managing cloud infrastructure. The recent release of Red Hat OpenShift API Management makes it easier than ever to get your own dedicated instance of Red Hat 3scale API Management running on Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated. This […]

Enhancing the development loop with Quarkus remote development
February 11, 2021Kubernetes is an established foundation layer for cloud-native microservices and serverless architectures. By automating application deployment, scaling, and management, Kubernetes changes the developer’s daily workflow in terms of inner loop development (local coding, building, running, and testing the application) and outer loop development (integration testing, continuous deployment, and security). Developers using Kubernetes also must plan […]

Spring Boot on Quarkus: Magic or madness?
February 9, 2021Quarkus is a Java stack tailored for OpenJDK HotSpot (or OpenJ9 on zSeries) and GraalVM, crafted from optimized Java libraries and standards. It is a good choice for building highly-scalable applications while using lower amounts of CPU and memory resources than other Java frameworks. These applications can be traditional web applications, serverless applications, or even […]

Write a Quarkus function in two steps on Red Hat OpenShift Serverless
January 29, 2021Serverless functions are driving the fast adoption of DevApps development and deployment practices today. To successfully adopt serverless functions, developers must understand how serverless capabilities are specified using a combination of cloud computing, data infrastructure, and function-oriented programming. We also need to consider resource optimization (memory and CPU) and high-performance boot and first-response times in […]

January 6, 2021When it comes to the container world, it is common to have an application deployed to a cluster that needs to be secured. In this article, I will show you how to enable HTTPS and SSL termination for a Quarkus application that is running in Red Hat OpenShift. Create the secret First, we will need […]

Get the Understanding Quarkus eBook
Quarkus has its genesis in the JBoss community. JBoss has extensive experience of running applications on application servers (JBoss EAP, WildFly) and building reactive applications on the JVM (with Eclipse Vert.x for example). Due to its extension mechanism, Quarkus supports several Java frameworks (e.g. Hibernate, Camel, etc.) as well as specifications (e.g. a subset of Jakarta EE, or MicroProfile which is a set of specifications to develop microservices in Java). So, this fascicle is for the Java community as a whole and for those of you interested in microservice architectures.
The only requirements to follow and understand this fascicle are having a knowledge of Java and having some knowledge of relational databases and Docker. This fascicle concentrates on Quarkus 1.8.2.Final. Its structure will help you to discover this technology as well as helping you to further dive into it if you already have some experience of it.
