Serverless has long been the domain of “lightweight” scripting languages like JavaScript and Python, primarily because Serverless Cloud Functions should boot up fast, and utilize a small amount of memory.

In this low-slides, high-code, session, we’ll dive into how Java, with the Cloud Native optimized framework Quarkus, is an excellent platform for building Cloud Functions. We don’t need the weight of a web app - or even REST, as this adds to the complexity and overhead of Cloud Functions.

We will cover:

  • Quick primer on Cloud Function and Serverless Architecture
  • Building a Quarkus app using command mode (i.e. no Web, REST
  • Deploy to the Cloud
  • Test, and troubleshoot, LOCALLY for maximum developer efficiency
  • Customize the deployment container to include any libraries you need

Finally, we’ll leave you with a hands-on coding exercise - that you can run directly in your browser!
