1 What is Quarkus?

This chapter covers

Introducing Quarkus
Understanding the Quarkus principles
Analyzing Quarkus architecture
Evaluating Quarkus alternatives

With a vast ecosystem of libraries, frameworks, standards, runtimes, and experienced developers, Java is a great choice for building modern, robust, and scalable software. In today’s data-oriented, cloud-first, cost-sensitive world, Java is also sometimes viewed as mature, slow, and resource-intensive. Quarkus changes this perception, offering a fast, lightweight, and flexible Java framework perfect for modern enterprise applications.

Quarkus combines popular libraries, Java standards, and best practices with an innovative approach to building and running applications, delivering ...
