Making open source more inclusive
Copy link

Red Hat is committed to replacing problematic language in our code, documentation, and web properties. We are beginning with these four terms: master, slave, blacklist, and whitelist. Because of the enormity of this endeavor, these changes will be implemented gradually over several upcoming releases. For more details, see our CTO Chris Wright’s message.

Chapter 1. Red Hat build of Quarkus
Copy link

Red Hat build of Quarkus is a Kubernetes-native Java stack that is optimized for use with containers and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform. Quarkus is designed to work with popular Java standards, frameworks, and libraries such as Eclipse MicroProfile, Apache Kafka, RESTEasy (JAX-RS), Hibernate ORM (JPA), Spring, Infinispan, and Apache Camel.

The Quarkus dependency injection solution is based on CDI (contexts and dependency injection) and includes an extension framework to expand functionality and to configure, boot, and integrate a framework into your application.

Quarkus provides a container-first approach to building Java applications. This approach makes it much easier to build microservices-based applications written in Java as well as enabling those applications to invoke functions running on serverless computing frameworks. For this reason, Quarkus applications have small memory footprints and fast startup times.

Chapter 2. New and changed features
Copy link

This section provides an overview of new features and changes introduced in Red Hat build of Quarkus 1.7.6.

2.1. gRPC Quarkus extension
Copy link

The quarkus-grpc extension introduces the following capabilities:

  • Ability for Quarkus application to consume and expose gRPC services.
  • Support based on the Quarkus reactive core as well as imperative (blocking) consumption.
  • Support for plain-text and TLS communication, both relying on HTTP/2 transport.
  • Support for TLS encryption and mutual authentication.
  • Implementation of the gRPC health and reflection services. Health is integrated with the quarkus-smallrye-health extension and the reflection service makes it easier to use tools such as grpcurl.

2.2. Quarkus native mode
Copy link

This release provides full support for running a Quarkus application as a native application when compiled using the Red Hat build of Quarkus Native build container. Running a Quarkus application as a native application instead of a Java application can greatly improve startup times and memory utilization. This feature was Tech preview in the previous version of Red Hat build of Quarkus.

Running a Quarkus application in OpenShift Serverless (Serving) is now fully supported in both JVM and native mode. The quarkus-openshift extension additionally supports deploying a JVM applications to OpenShift Container Platforms with Serverless Serving installed using the Apache Maven.

With the quarkus-infinispan-client extension the client can connect to a server running outside of application processes.

The Infinispan client Quarkus extension provides the following features:

  • Creation of native image
  • Automatic injection of important resources such as RemoteCache (named), RemoteCacheManger, CounterManager
  • User based ProtoStream Marshalling
  • Indexed and non-indexed querying
  • Continuous query
  • Near cache
  • Authentication and authorization
  • Encryption
  • Counters

2.5. Spring compatibility layers
Copy link

Expanded support for new Spring compatibility layers including:

  • quarkus-spring-cache
  • quarkus-spring-cloud-config-client
  • quarkus-spring-scheduled

  • The quarkus-smallrye-opentracing extension
  • The use of ReactiveX APIs

Chapter 5. Technology preview
Copy link

This section lists features and extensions that are in Technology Preview in Red Hat build of Quarkus 1.7.

Important

These features are for Technology Preview only. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs), might not be functionally complete, and Red Hat does not recommend to use them for production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process.
