Quarkus

Java framework for building cloud-native applications that run on the JVM or as native executables.

Quarkus is a Java framework for cloud-native applications, developed as part of the Commonhaus Foundation. An application is created with the Quarkus CLI or with the Maven plugin. The same code can be packaged as a JVM application that starts with java -jar, or built into a native executable. Database access goes through JDBC extensions, and the project documents a templating engine written for Quarkus, OpenID Connect support and a migration guide for Spring Boot applications.

Worth knowing

The guides name GraalVM or Mandrel as the route to native executables. The project’s news says the move to the Commonhaus Foundation addresses the perception that the project depended too much on one vendor, which the news names as Red Hat.
