Quarkus in a Nutshell

What is Quarkus?

GraalVM

https://openjdk.org/projects/leyden/

Pros

  • Incredibly fast
  • Easy dependency management
    • Opinionated
  • Reactive (and Imperative)!
  • Kubernetes
    • Native compilation
  • Live Coding
    • Developing and seeing changes in real time
  • Great Design Patterns
    • They are not enforced, but use them, for your own sanity
  • Debug in native mode

Cons

  • Fancy State of the Art
    • Which means you can do the next big thing
  • No Reflection
    • Arc allows you to inject at build time

Just released Quarkus 3.0!

  • Pact contract-based testing capability
  • Dev Services for Kubernetes
    • Service Discovery
  • Jakarta EE APIs
  • Eclipse MicroProfile 6
Quarkus in Action

Dev console dashboard by default

Maven MultiProject

  • Compilation in native mode didn't work... at first
  • Why? They work independently!
  • I followed the quickstart in quarkus.io, you must work!
Error: Substitution target for io.quarkus.runtime.generated.Target_org_jboss_logmanager_Logger is not loaded.
Use field `onlyWith` in the `TargetClass` annotation to make substitution only active when needed.

Maven MultiProject

Don't do native compilation on all of the projects.

Don't be me.

  • Remove the native profile in all the pom.xml
  • Except from the last one

Context and Dependency Injections and Bean discovery

Autowired injected beans

                
@ApplicationScoped
public class ClusterService {

   @Inject
    MyOtherBean beanybeany; 

    @Counted  
    String translate(String sentence) {
      System.out.println("Interceptor binding annotation from MicroProfile");
    }
    
    @PostConstruct
    void init() {
      System.out.println("Hello there!");
    }
    
    @PreDestroy
    void init() {
      System.out.println("My revenge will be terrible.");
    }

}
                
              

Context and Dependency Injections and Bean discovery

Injection of lists of beans

  • Note the @Startup
  • Exactly one bean must be assignable to an injection point, otherwise the build fails.
  • This is resolved on build time, you should know better.
  • But you can always inject a list of beans of the same type
  • javax.enterprise.inject.Instance extends Iterable
                
@Startup
@ApplicationScoped
public class StepCatalog extends AbstractCatalog {

    private Instance<StepCatalogParser> stepCatalogParsers;
    
    
    @Inject
    public void setStepCatalogParsers(
            final Instance<StepCatalogParser> stepCatalogParsers) {
        this.stepCatalogParsers = stepCatalogParsers;
    }
    
     @Inject 
    void multipleBeans(OneBean one, AnotherBean another) { 
         this.one = one;
         this.another = another;
    }
}
                
              

Marshall and Unmarshall

Because I like magic

  • Note the @RegisterForReflection
  • Polymorphic unmarshalling
                             
@RegisterForReflection
public class MyObjectDeserializer implements JsonbDeserializer {

    private static final Jsonb JSONB = JsonbBuilder.create();

    @Override
    public MyObject deserialize(final JsonParser parser,
                                 final DeserializationContext context,
                                 final Type rtType) {

        String type = parser.getObject().toString().getString("type");

        switch (type) {
            case "patata":
            ...
            }
}
                
              
                             
@JsonSubTypes({
        @JsonSubTypes.Type(value = Patata.class, name = "patata"),
        @JsonSubTypes.Type(value = Poteito.class, name = "potato")})
//This is a workaround utility class until Quarkus supports fully polymorphism
@JsonbTypeDeserializer(MyObjectDeserializer.class)
public abstract class MyObject implements Cloneable {
...
}
                
              

Reactive

  • Do nothing on the main thread
  • Always promise the future in return
                

    public CompletableFuture<List<T>> doIt() {
        CompletableFuture<List<T>> res = new CompletableFuture<>();
        res.completeAsync(() -> doItSlowly());
        return res;
    }
    
    public void doItAndwait() {
        doIt().join();
    }

                
              

Reactive

What if my endpoint returns a slow response?

  • Or a stream?!!

        return clusterService.streamlogs(namespace, name, lines);

    }
                
              

Tests

Always run them in native mode too

  • Don't forget the @QuarkusTest annotation
  • @TestHTTPEndpoint is your friend
                
@QuarkusTest
@TestHTTPEndpoint(IntegrationResource.class)
class IntegrationResourceTest {

    @Test
    void thereAndBackAgain() throws URISyntaxException, IOException {


        var res = given()
                .when()
                .contentType("application/json")
                .body(Collections.emptyList())
                .post("/dsls")
                .then()
                .statusCode(Response.Status.OK.getStatusCode());
        List<String> dsls =
                mapper.readValue(res.extract().body().asString(), List.class);
        assertFalse(dsls.isEmpty());
    }

}
                
              

Tests

Smart TestContainers

  • Automatic provisioning of unconfigured services
  • Databases, Kubernetes, Messaging,...
  • Configuration (port, host, version?) in properties

Tests

Kubernetes too

  • Via fabric8
                             
@WithKubernetesTestServer
@QuarkusTest
class ClusterServiceTest {
            
    @Inject
    public void setKubernetesClient(final KubernetesClient kubernetesClient) {
        this.kubernetesClient = kubernetesClient;
    }
    
    private KubernetesClient kubernetesClient;
    
}
