Strange Quarks, Mocking Quarks - Modeling API services in Quarkus in high-density environments
Sessionize YouTube Speaker Deck
Developing and mocking APIs with Quarkus Dev Services and WireMock in Gradle projects.
Slides
Abstract
Quarkus offers many local development capabilities, including the recently released Dev Services that usually run with Testcontainers under the hood. We can leverage Dev Services to provide real-time API provider development experiences for Quarkus-based services and client apps.
In this session, I provide an overview of using Quarkus and its Dev Services in Gradle projects. We take WireMock as an example. I will demonstrate how to develop a REST API and a gRPC 3-tier client-service-database application using Quarkus and WireMock. DM for a Testcontainers edition!
