From Spring Boot to Quarkus


When you’re building (micro)services, you have lots of framework options. Spring Boot is no doubt a popular choice. But there’s more! Take Quarkus, a framework that’s considered the rising star for Kubernetes-native Java. It always depends what’s best for your situation, but how to choose the best solution if you’re comparing 2 frameworks? Both Spring Boot and Quarkus have their positives and negatives. Let’s compare the two by looking at a couple of common use cases in Spring Boot and live coding their Quarkus counterpart. After this talk, you’ll be ready to get started with Quarkus yourself!
