Quarkus for Spring Developers

Track: Unobtanium

Abstract

In this session, I will show concepts and conventions familiar to Spring developers and how those same concepts and conventions can be implemented in Quarkus, all while highlighting similarities and differences between them. Additionally, I will show similarities and differences in how testing is done, highlighting Quarkus Dev Services. This session will be mostly live coding while minimizing the amount of slides. I will introduce an existing Spring application with a full test suite and build a Quarkus equivalent version of it, live.
