Quarkus: Zero to native

Spring Boot works. But for cloud-native applications, slow startups and high memory usage become real problems.Quarkus solves both.

Practical Quarkus: From Zero to Native is a hands-on guide for Java developers who want to build microservices that start instantly, use less memory, and deploy seamlessly to Kubernetes and AWS Lambda.

What you will learn:

• Create your first Quarkus REST API in under 10 minutes

• Add a PostgreSQL database with Panache ORM (CRUD in 20 lines of code)

• Implement validation and proper HTTP error handling (404, 400)

• Configure logging for development and production environments

• Build native executables with GraalVM (coming in future chapters)

Why this book is different:

Every command and code block has been tested on a real machine. No copy-paste errors. No theory overload. Just working Java code you can run today.
