What is Quarkus?
Quarkus is a Kubernetes-native Java stack for microservices and serverless development due to its fast startup times, low memory footprint, and small application size.
Creating applications for the hybrid cloud can be a challenge. Developers need to handle data persistence, integrate disparate services, ensure application security, and much more. An orchestrated development environment accelerates the creation and deployment of applications across both public and private clouds allowing developers to build once and deploy anywhere.
Quarkus is an ideal Java framework for the hybrid cloud because of its ability to support both traditional and cloud-native architectures. Quarkus is designed to optimize Java for container environments, and as a result, can significantly increase developer productivity and reduce operational costs.
Use cases
Here are several use cases that help clarify how the Red Hat build of Quarkus helps developers.
Developer performance
“Quarkus can save up to 64% more of cloud cloud resources when compared to another widely used Java framework.”
Quarkus optimizes Java applications for Kubernetes. Both JVM–based and native applications perform significantly better than traditional Java frameworks in terms of memory, density, and startup time. For more info, read the IDC Quarkus lab validation report.
Come for the performance, stay for the productivity
Developer productivity
Quarkus provides a frictionless development experience through a combination of tools, libraries, extensions, and more. Quarkus makes developers more efficient during the inner loop development cycle while in dev mode.
Dev UI
Visualize and configure extensions as well as access to application logs and testing components.
Dev Services
Automatic provisioning and application wiring of supporting services such as databases, identity servers, and more.
Continuous testing
Get instant feedback on code changes as tests run in the background on impacted code.
Command line interface
Create projects, manage extensions, and execute essential build and dev commands.
Remote development
Run dev mode remotely with changes to local files immediately available in a containerize environment.

Quarkus for Spring Developers
Quarkus for Spring Developers is a Spring developer's ultimate resource to learn about Quarkus and Kubernetes-native Java. It showcases and explains how Quarkus enables modern Java development and the Kubernetes-native experience. Get introductions to familiar Spring concepts, constructs, and conventions through equivalent code examples, then learn how they map to Quarkus. It additionally places emphasis on testing patterns and practices. This talk explains what led to the writing of the book in the first place while also highlighting some of the similarities and differences of Quarkus and Spring.
