Supersonic, Subatomic Java with Quarkus
18:00
Introducing … Quarkus! The rise in popularity of the linux container as the primary way to package your application seemed like a simple change on the surface. Yet, as we saw with the Java Docker Fail problem, it was not a transition completely without challenges for the Java community. Furthermore, we have now seen a number developers at many organizations considering a move to Node.js or Golang to get the performance and tiny memory footprint they need to run in a Kubernetes and cloud environment. In this session, we’ll demonstrate how you can optimize your enterprise Java apps, your APIs, your microservices, and your “serverless functions” for a Kubernetes/OpenShift and cloud architecture —vastly smaller, vastly faster, and fundamentally more scalable.
