Quarkus

Quarkus is an exciting framework for building modern Java applications, and Quinoa takes it up a notch by streamlining Single Page Application (SPA) development. Together, they enable a seamless workflow for both frontend and backend developers. This guide walks through setting up a Quarkus-based SPA using React as an example, although the process works just as well for other frameworks. Why Quinoa Matters Quinoa elegantly integrates frontend development into Quarkus projects. Here’s why you should care: ...

My first website was an adventure straight out of 2014, built with Dreamweaver and some basic HTML and CSS. Picture a static site, lovingly crafted to display the research and papers from our lab. The end product was, well, let’s just say not exactly internet-breaking. But hey, it was my first foray into the wild world of web development! Fast forward 10 years, after diving deep into data science, machine learning, and platform engineering, I realized something horrifying: I was still a web development noob. Cue the dramatic music. This simply would not do! So, armed with determination and copious amounts of coffee, I embarked on a quest to master web app development and fill in the gaping holes in my skill set. ...

What is Quarkus Quarkus is a full-stack, Kubernetes-native Java framework that was developed by Red Hat. It first appeared in early 2019, aimed at optimizing Java specifically for containers and enabling it to become an effective platform in serverless environments. The motivation behind Quarkus was to breathe new life into the Java ecosystem for modern cloud-native applications. It seeks to overcome the traditional shortcomings of Java, like slow startup time and high memory consumption, which are particularly notable in containerized environments. Quarkus achieves this through ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation which drastically reduces the runtime memory overhead and speeds up the startup time, making Java a more competitive choice in the modern landscape of microservices and serverless architectures. ...
