The quarkus-grpc extension introduces the following capabilities:

  • 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

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
