What is it?

This repository hosts a set of small, self-contained example applications for Quarkus, a Java framework for building cloud-native services. Each quickstart focuses on one topic, such as REST endpoints, dependency injection, reactive programming, testing, or a specific integration, and is paired with a getting-started guide on the Quarkus website.

The examples cover a wide range of areas: data access with Hibernate ORM, Hibernate Reactive and Panache; messaging with Kafka, AMQP, RabbitMQ, MQTT and Pulsar; security with JWT, OpenID Connect, LDAP and WebAuthn; cloud services such as Amazon S3, DynamoDB and SQS; and serverless targets including AWS Lambda, Azure Functions and Google Cloud Functions. Projects are built with Maven and require JDK 17 or newer, with Mandrel or GraalVM needed for native executables.

By default the quickstarts use the Quarkus core BOM, and the platform BOM can be overridden through Maven properties to build against an alternative platform.

Key features

  • 04Provides security examples using JWT, OpenID Connect, LDAP and WebAuthn.
  • 05Shows integrations with Amazon services and serverless platforms.
  • 06Builds with Maven and supports native executables via Mandrel or GraalVM.

Use cases

  • Learning how to build a REST service or CRUD API with Quarkus.
  • Looking up a working example of a specific integration, such as Kafka or Hibernate Search with Elasticsearch.
  • Evaluating how Quarkus handles reactive programming, security or serverless deployment.
  • Using as a starting template when adding a Quarkus feature to a new project.

Quick start

  1. 1

    Install JDK 17+ and Mandrel or GraalVM

  2. 2

    Choose a quickstart from the list and build it with Maven (see CONTRIBUTING.md)

Things to know
