Developer Joy with Quarkus

What if your Java app could start 10x faster with an 11x smaller memory footprint? See how Quarkus makes native compilation a reality for developers.

#1about 5 minutes

Defining developer joy and its key components

Developer joy is achieved by improving the core loop of coding, testing, and building through features like live coding, integrated services, and streamlined workflows.

#2about 4 minutes

Scaffolding a new application with live coding

Use the Quarkus project generator and run the application in dev mode to enable live coding, which automatically applies code changes without manual restarts.

#3about 6 minutes

Implementing continuous testing and TDD workflows

Quarkus automatically runs tests on every code change, providing immediate feedback and enabling a more efficient test-driven development cycle.

#4about 6 minutes

Comparing JVM and native image performance

Building a native executable with Quarkus dramatically reduces application startup time and memory consumption compared to running on a traditional JVM.

#5about 7 minutes

Integrating a database with automatic dev services

Quarkus Dev Services automatically provisions and configures backend services like a PostgreSQL database in a container when a corresponding dependency is added.
