# Quarkus - Supersonic Subatomic Java

Quarkus is a Cloud Native, (Linux) Container First framework for writing Java applications.

* **Container First**:
Minimal footprint Java applications optimal for running in containers.
* **Cloud Native**:
Embraces [12 factor architecture](https://12factor.net) in environments like Kubernetes.
* **Versatile**:
From the smallest microservice to the largest monolith.
* **Fast startup**:
We do more at build time, we start fast.
* **JVM and native**
JVM for high throughput, native for constrained environments.
* **Unify imperative and reactive**:
Brings under one programming model non-blocking and imperative styles of development.
* **Standards-based**:
Based on the standards and frameworks you love and use (RESTEasy and JAX-RS, Hibernate ORM and JPA, Netty, Eclipse Vert.x, Eclipse MicroProfile, Apache Camel...).
* **Developer Joy**:
Development centric experience without compromise to bring your amazing apps to life in no time.

_All under ONE framework._
