Quarkus: Java dev made fun again!
17:00
In this session, we will dive into Cloud Native Java development with Quarkus. The goal of this framework is to make Java development rapid and flexible, and also fun! Designed with developer velocity in mind, Quarkus allows you to quickly build and test Java apps. Based on standards, there are another reasons to consider Quarkus: * Super fast startup times (great for Cloud Native envs) * Lightweight, low overheard runtime (again great for Cloud envs) We’ll do live coding and cover these topics and more: ● Building REST apps with Quarkus ● Database access with Panache ● CDI, JPA, JAX
