SESSION ABSTRACTS

19:00: Quarkus for Spring Developers

Are you familiar with Spring and like learning new things?

In this session, Eric showed 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, he showed similarities and differences in how testing is done. Along the way in this deep 90 minute dive, Eric discussed common questions asked by Spring users about Quarkus, and he demonstrated performance differences between Spring and Quarkus versions of an application.

Attendees also learned hands-on how to quickly migrate a Spring Boot microservice application to Quarkus with little-to-no code changes.
