1. Project Overview & Quickstart (quarkusio/quarkus)
File: README.md
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 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.
