As the ecosystem shifts toward cloud-native and serverless architectures, the pressure on Java applications to be fast, efficient, and lightweight has never been greater. Quarkus — often called Supersonic Subatomic Java — is at the forefront of this shift. In this session, Benedict Kudzordzi will take us through a deep dive into the framework, unpacking how Quarkus is redefining what it means to build production-grade Java in the cloud-native era. What to Expect: The Quarkus Philosophy: The container-first approach, build-time optimization, and why it matters for modern infrastructure. Developer Joy: Live tutorial, unified configuration, and how Quarkus cuts the friction out of the development lifecycle. Performance Benchmarks: How Quarkus stacks up against traditional runtimes in real cloud-native scenarios. Practical Implementation: Where to start — whether you are migrating an existing service or exploring a new one.
