Martin Štefanko has worked on Red Hat’s middleware portfolio for the last 7 years. He started with WildFly and JBoss EAP application servers, where he got a lot of hands-on experience with many technologies and libraries that were included in these distributions. These libraries eventually came to be also included in Quarkus (through WildFly Swarm and later Thorntail, to which he was a contributor). He has contributed to Quarkus since version 0.12.0 and is responsible for the SmallRye Health extension. He has also contributed to several other core extensions, mostly around MicroProfile integration. He is a MicroProfile committer leading the MicroProfile Health specification.

Java has a generally bad name when it comes to its usage in the current fast moving world of containers, Kubernetes, microservices and serverless because of its boot times and memory footprints. However, this is no longer true with Quarkus — a framework tailored for GraalVM and OpenJDK HotSpot which allows you to create Java applications that are ready for cloud while you can still utilize your knowledge of well known Java frameworks and standards like JAX-RS, CDI, JPA / Hibernate, MicroProfile and much more.

In this truly slideless live coding session we will explore the development with Quarkus from scratch covering creating and packaging of your Quarkus application, demonstrating the power of live reload mode, and introducing simplified ORM with the Panache framework. Come to see how your Java application can start serving client requests in a number of milliseconds while still utilizing only a few MB of RAM.
