Quarkus is a modern Java framework that simplifies the creation of web applications. With the help of Quarkus, you can create modern applications and deploy them easily on the cloud.

You’ll begin the course with an introduction to Quarkus and the different features that make it a great Java framework. Next, you’ll explore the basics of Quarkus, such as creating and configuring an application, adding plugins, and testing your code. You’ll learn how to build modern web applications using Quarkus by creating and consuming REST endpoints and documenting them. You’ll also learn how to create a WebSocket server and a GraphQL endpoint and ensure fault tolerance for your application. Lastly,  you’ll add different kinds of database connections to your Quarkus application.

After completing this course, you’ll be equipped to create various applications and microservices using Quarkus, a must-have knowledge for any developer.

Developing Microservices with Quarkus

Using the Hibernate ORM can be somewhat tricky and complex to work with, especially on simpler projects. That is why the Quarkus team worked on an extension to simplify the usage of Hibernate with Quarkus.



# Configuration

To work with Panache we need to add the following extension, `quarkus-hibernate-orm-panache`, along with the JDBC driver extension. For the purpose of simplicity, we’ll use the H2 database, which will give us the below new lines in our `pom.xml` or `build.gradle` files.

// Hibernate ORM specific dependencies
implementation("io.quarkus:quarkus-hibernate-orm-panache")

// JDBC driver dependencies
implementation("io.quarkus:quarkus-jdbc-h2")

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>
    <artifactId>quarkus-hibernate-orm-panache</artifactId>
</dependency>


<dependency>
    <groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>
      <artifactId>quarkus-jdbc-h2</artifactId>
</dependency>

# Using Panache

When using the Quarkus Panache extension, we can pick one of the two available patterns: the active record pattern or the repository pattern.

## Active record pattern

The active record pattern relies on the created entities to make different kinds of operations. We’ll need to create our entities and extend the `PanacheEntity`.

The below example creates a `Todo` entity and makes some operations.
