Developer Joy with Quarkus

“Java is a great programming language, however ‘traditional’ Java isn’t so great to work with when it comes to modern development paradigms. Quarkus is a (fairly) new Java stack that addresses issues such as the typical slow startup time and rather large memory usage that hinder the adoption of Java in container and/or Serverless workloads. Quarkus is not just useful for optimizing resource usage though. There is also a big focus on improving the developer experience. If you’re new to Quarkus or want a refresher on some of its latest features, you’ll definitely want to join this session. We’ll show you how to experiment with databases, kafka clusters, containers, Kubernetes, and of course, AI, without ever restarting our application. After this session the audience should come away with inspiration to efficiently build modern applications with Java, and have lots of fun while doing so!”
