Description

Java application booting and ready-to-serve requests in <10 milliseconds and occupying <40 MB on disk? With Hibernate ORM connected to PostgreSQL, Undertow web server, RESTEasy, CDI, and Transaction Manager? Come to this session to see how Quarkus makes all the above possible on top of Graal/SubstrateVM. Quarkus also offers a first-class developer experience: It shields you perfectly from the complexity of GraalVM, there is a dev mode with instant reload, and it is easy for the 80% most common use cases and flexible for the remaining 20%. You do not need to learn new technologies, because Quarkus supports existing best-of-breed libs and standards, such as Hibernate/JPA, JTA, CDI, JAX-RS, Eclipse MicroProfile, and many more. The session includes a demo.
