Quarkus for Spring Developers

In this session, we will show 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, we will show similarities and differences in how testing is done, highlighting Quarkus Dev Services.

We will also introduce the Spring compatibility in Quarkus and how to quickly migrate a Spring Boot microservice application to Quarkus with little-to-no code changes. Time permitting, we may even convert a Spring Boot microservice into Quarkus, live.
