Overview
Quarkus is a Kubernetes-native Java™ stack for building fast, lightweight microservices and serverless applications.
Red Hat’s build of Quarkus, which is part of Red Hat Runtimes, offers tight integration with Red Hat OpenShift® and access to production-ready capabilities that make it an ideal platform for cloud-native applications.
Developers can choose the Java frameworks they want for their applications, which run in Java virtual machine (JVM) mode.
Quarkus was built with a container-first philosophy, meaning it’s optimized for lower memory usage and faster startup times.
What are the benefits of Red Hat’s build of Quarkus?
Red Hat provides pre-built, Kubernetes-native developer environments and tools that eliminate configuration and preparation time to enable developers to start developing quicker
By using Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat Runtimes including Quarkus, developers can significantly increase their productivity and ability to drive innovation.
Cost savings
Quarkus’ low memory consumption and fast startup time translate into more efficient resource utilization and better user experience. .
Developer joy
Quarkus supports popular Java standards and libraries as well as live coding and unified configurations for fast, iterative development.
Ideal for serverless
With its fast startup time, low memory consumption, and small application size, Quarkus is perfect for serverless applications.
