Quarkus: Java Framework Up to 5× Faster Than Spring Boot, Uses Half the Memory
Quarkus, Red Hat's cloud‑native Java framework, achieves dramatically faster startup (0.3‑1 s vs 2‑5 s) and roughly half the memory usage (150‑200 MB vs 300‑500 MB) by moving many optimizations to compile time, and offers a Spring‑like developer experience with extensions, reactive support, and hot‑reload tooling.
