Kubernetes Native Microservices with Quarkus and MicroProfile
Build fast, efficient Kubernetes-based Java applications using the Quarkus framework, MicroProfile, and Java standards.
In Kubernetes Native Microservices with Quarkus and MicroProfile you’ll learn how
Deploy enterprise Java applications on Kubernetes
Develop applications using the Quarkus runtime
Compile natively using GraalVM for blazing speed
Create efficient microservices applications
Take advantage of MicroProfile specifications
Popular Java frameworks like Spring were designed long before Kubernetes and the microservices revolution. Kubernetes Native Microservices with Quarkus and MicroProfile introduces next generation tools that have been cloud-native and Kubernetes-aware right from the beginning. Written by veteran Java developers John Clingan and Ken Finnigan, this book shares expert insight into Quarkus and MicroProfile directly from contributors at Red Hat. You’ll learn how to utilize these modern tools to create efficient enterprise Java applications that are easy to deploy, maintain, and expand.
Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.
About the technology
Build microservices efficiently with modern Kubernetes-first tools! Quarkus works naturally with containers and Kubernetes, radically simplifying the development and deployment of microservices. This powerful framework minimizes startup time and memory use, accelerating performance and reducing hosting cost. And because it's Java from the ground up, it integrates seamlessly with your existing JVM codebase.
About the book
Kubernetes Native Microservices with Quarkus and MicroProfile teaches you to build microservices using containers, Kubernetes, and the Quarkus framework. You'll immediately start developing a deployable application using Quarkus and the MicroProfile APIs. Then, you'll explore the startup and runtime gains Quarkus delivers out of the box and also learn how to supercharge performance by compiling natively using GraalVM. Along the way, you'll see how to integrate a Quarkus application with Spring and pick up pro tips for monitoring and managing your microservices.
What's inside
Deploy enterprise Java applications on Kubernetes
Develop applications using the Quarkus runtime framework
Compile natively using GraalVM for blazing speed
Take advantage of MicroProfile specifications
About the reader
For intermediate Java developers comfortable with Java EE, Jakarta EE, or Spring. Some experience with Docker and Kubernetes required.
About the author
John Clingan is a senior principal product manager at Red Hat, where he works on enterprise Java standards and Quarkus. Ken Finnigan is a senior principal software engineer at Workday, previously at Red Hat working on Quarkus.

It did the job for me - I needed an effective intro to Quarkus and MicroProfile and that's what I've got.
My biggest complaint about the book is its identity:
* it could have been a book for people who never knew any web framework and want to start with Quarkus (but it isn't)
* it could have been a short guide for folks who have used plenty of frameworks (& know K8s inside out) to map their existing experience into Quarkus - but is isn't
It's something in between, much closer to option 2, but not close enough, IMHO. That's why I've read many intro sections (Quarkus or MicroProfile-specific) with interest and quickly skimmed through some more advanced ones (because they were, in fact, very generic - framework agnostic).
If I could rewind time, I'd still read this book: a lot of honest work was put here, and it's the best primer on Quarkus (for non-newbies) I know. But I can't get rid of the feeling that it could even have been made much shorter OR the space could have been used in a better way (e.g., on some non-trivial practicalities - specific to Quarkus/MP).

It's hard for me to say who I can recommend this book. Actually, this book provides a brief introduction to Quarkus and Kubernetes. I thought that there will be much more information about Quarkus details and how it works under the hood, instead we receive many examples of how different features can be implemented using Quarkus.

Quite nice book, it doubles as a good intro into Quarkus. I like the Manning book style, good balance between depth and pragmatically.

Good introduction but outdated
