Like Spring but faster: The new Java Jedi
Conference (BEGINNER level)

Spring dominates the Java landscape, but are you aware of other similar yet different frameworks out there?

Let me show you Quarkus, the new Java Jedi. I'll expose the cape, digging into the inner workings of both Spring Boot and Quarkus, showing how the concepts and conventions familiar to Spring developers actually work. I'll show what Quarkus does with those same concepts and conventions to make it so resource efficient.

If someone asked you if you wanted to save 50% in your Java application operational costs, wouldn't you be interested? Come to this session to learn how!
