🚀 Parte 1: Fundamentos do Quarkus

The software development universe is evolving, and the search for tools that optimize productivity, improve performance, and simplify modern application creation is ongoing. Java, a robust and widely used language, has found a powerful ally in Quarkus to reinvent itself and meet the demands of the cloud and microservices era. Quarkus is a Java framework optimized for Kubernetes, offering extremely fast startup times and low memory consumption, making it ideal for environments where resources are precious and agility is essential. The name "Quarkus" reflects the framework's philosophy of building small, fast, and efficient applications that fit modern environments. Quarkus offers several benefits, including ultra-fast startup times, low memory consumption, and improved developer productivity. It also provides a unified development experience, extensibility, and optimization for cloud and container environments. Compared to other Java frameworks like Spring Boot and Micronaut, Quarkus has a more robust ecosystem and community. The Quarkus ecosystem is integrated with widely used Java technologies, including APIs, build tools, and cloud and serverless platforms. In the next chapter, you will learn how to create your first Quarkus project and explore its features.
