For context, I am talking about Red Hat's Quarkus framework - the one that Red Hat famously markets as the future of cloud-native Java microservices. My experience suggests that Quarkus is just as capable for building good old monolithic web apps, the way Spring Boot famously does. Perhaps, even better, thanks to the thousands of tiny performance optimizations.<p>Last year, I took Quarkus for a spin, and built https://feedle.world/ pretty much in one go. The experience was great, and I didn't feel like I was missing much from Spring Boot. Qute is a fantastic templating language tailor-made for Quarkus, and combined with some HTMX and Alpine.js, it's a combo made in heaven.<p>I was wondering if anyone is using Quarkus to build (predominantly, non-microservice) web apps. Feel free to showcase them here and share your experience.
This Quarkus is like a virus. It's still keeping the port 8081 open even if i don't use it anymore (i didn't remember when i closed it though). And i have no clue how to close that port, even if i killed the PID, it autorestarted again.<p>Hopeless.<p>My regret. Java is not worth my time anymore.
