Build resilient and scalable, cloud-native enterprise Java applications using the Quarkus framework.
Quarkus lets you live-reload your Java code, deliver continuous background testing, and automatically provide database instances—plus tons more productivity-boosting features! Quarkus in Action quickly gets you up to speed with Quarkus by building a real-world business application.
In Quarkus in Action, you will:
• Use Quarkus Dev mode to speed up and enhance Java development
• Understand how to use the Dev UI to observe and troubleshoot running applications
• Automatic background testing using the Continuous Testing feature
• New frameworks and libraries such as Quarkus Messaging, gRPC, and GraphQL
• Simplify deployment of applications into Kubernetes and OpenShift
• Automatic management of remote services such as databases and message brokers via Docker containers
• Set up observability for applications by using metrics, health checks and distributed tracing
Quarkus in Action is written by Martin Štefanko and Jan Martiška, Red Hat engineers who are both active contributors to the Quarkus project. In it, you’ll learn how Quarkus works and how you can integrate it into your stack for more productive Java development. Discover what makes Quarkus different from classic enterprise Java frameworks, how Quarkus streamlines creating cloud-native applications, and makes deployment easy.
Foreword by Markus Eisele.
