quarkusio/quarkus-quickstarts

Quarkus Quickstarts is a collection of example projects demonstrating how to build applications with the Quarkus framework.

The repository addresses the need for hands-on learning material when starting with Quarkus. Each quickstart pairs working code with a corresponding getting started guide, covering specific aspects of the framework. The examples demonstrate core patterns including REST endpoints, dependency injection, testing, reactive programming, asynchronous handling, application configuration, and lifecycle management. Developers can run these projects locally or deploy them to Kubernetes and OpenShift environments.

Developers adopting these quickstarts should have JDK 17 or later installed, with either Mandrel or GraalVM available for building native executables. The quickstarts are organized by topic, allowing developers to focus on the specific functionality they need to learn. The collection includes examples ranging from basic application creation to more advanced patterns like reactive CRUD operations and Knative deployment. The quickstarts use the Quarkus core BOM by default but support alternative platform BOMs through property overrides, giving teams flexibility in their dependency management approach.

The project maintains a structured set of examples with each quickstart paired to documentation, indicating ongoing curation of the learning materials. Contributions are guided through a documented process, suggesting the project accepts community input for expanding or improving the examples.
