Thank you for joining us for another edition of the JBoss Weekly Editorial! We have some great news, blogs, and releases this week! Read further down for more information.
Quarkus
Quarkus: Supersonic Subatomic Java. As the website describes it: A Kubernetes Native Java stack tailored for GraalVM & OpenJDK HotSpot, crafted from the best of breed Java libraries and standards.
Quarkus was released earlier this week with great fanfare! It’s been a nine month journey to get here, but we’re all very excited about what this will enable developers to do. Gone now are the days of tests taking long enough for you to check your Facebook page, hot re-deploys, expensive memory usage, long deploy times.
Would you be interested in a REST & JPA application fully starting up in under a second and using less than 40MB of memory? Would you like to save and refresh your web browser to see changes like the dynamic language devs do?
You want integration? Quarkus integrates with Apache Camel, Hibernate, Apache Kafka, Jaeger, Vertx, and others! Be sure to buckle in because we’re just getting started.
Read about Quarkus from Emmanuel Bernard, Mark Little, or simply head over to the Quarkus website to learn more! Your productivity will thank you.
