Eric Deandrea is a Java developer advocate and Java Champion who focuses on making cloud-native application development faster and cheaper. Working at Red Hat, he explores how developers can shift from traditional frameworks like Spring to Quarkus without losing familiar conventions.
His talks dive into the practical realities of modern Java tooling. He frequently breaks down how transitioning to Quarkus can cut application operational costs in half. He also focuses on test-driven development, showing developers how to use features like Dev Services, continuous testing, and AI-assisted IDEs to make unit and integration testing functional rather than frustrating.
