Why Quarkus Should Be Your Next Tech Stack: Faster, Greener & Happier
summary
Quarkus claims dramatic runtime and cost wins: JVM startup as low as ~20 ms, GraalVM native builds (about a minute) give very high deployment density and native processes using ~10% of traditional memory; measured throughput shows Quarkus JVM ~9,000 rps vs Spring Boot ~7,000 rps and Quarkus Native ~3,000 rps at 48 concurrent connections. Tooling demonstrated includes GraalVM native compilation, Panache/Hibernate, Testcontainers for auto-spawned dev databases, and continuous testing; experiments report roughly half the carbon footprint versus a legacy stack.
