Also the stigma around that Java EE is old and distasteful stuff legacy applications use, would make you turn your head around. This however isn't true. The former Java EE, now called Jakarta EE keeps being updated and improved with the modern concepts, familiar to all web app frameworks out there. Along with the MicroProfile specifications, using Jakarta EE has never been easier. Quarkus is a web application framework, that implements the Jakarta EE specifications and MicroProfile, via SmallRye project. It allows for quick and easy set up, development and creation of scalable applications, that have a quick start-up and very minimal fingerprint, allowing to cut down on development time and cloud computing costs. Alongside the MicroProfile specifications, you get a plethora of tools for making a more resilient and stable applications.

Bio:
My name is Valentin and I am a senior software developer at Vida Software. I've been in the industry for about 6 years, as a part of an outsourcing company, I had the chance to work with large and small client companies, various projects and meet different company cultures. This experience has helped me to gather different expertise and learn something new with every opportunity that comes on the horizon. My main work has been mostly around Java EE. I have been working on various projects such as ERP systems, OCPP platforms, B2B solutions and recently on an interactive games platform. One of the big companies I've worked with are Ikea and the NLS Library of Congress. Together with my colleagues we have left a big impact on the web application infrastructure of these companies, by writing up-to-date, modern and scalable applications using Java EE, now Jakarta and Quarkus. Our clients have been left satisfied with the results and continue to adopt Quarkus for and Jakarta EE for their future projects.
