Quarkus Cookbook: Kubernetes-Optimized Java Solutions

 We’re excited to have you with us on this journey of learning and using Quarkus! Unlike traditional Java frameworks, which can be big, cumbersome, heavy-weight, and take months to learn, Quarkus builds on knowledge you already have! It uses JPA, JAX-RS, Eclipse Vert.x, Eclipse MicroProfile, and CDI, just to name a few tech‐ nologies you’re already familiar with. Quarkus then takes your knowledge and com‐ bines it into a compact, easy-to-deploy, fully Kubernetes-optimized container target‐ ing either OpenJDK Hotspot or GraalVM. This allows you to pack your Kubernetes cluster as tightly as possible, making use of every resource on the machine as your application scales to meet demand. Regardless of where you are on your migration to Kubernetes, you’ll find something useful with Quarkus, and this book will give you the tools and resources you need to succeed.
