Introducing a BRAND NEW session by the DataStax Developers!

The seminal book Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs written by Niklaus Wirth about 50 years ago is still applicable in this modern era of microservices where speed triumphs over everything else and warrants designing performant algorithms backed by low latency data access.

Our install-free Cassandra workshops touch upon how Cassandra is an ideal platform for instantaneous data access. Quarkus is a Java framework and runtime built on technologies and standards familiar to most Java developers. It's reactive at its core, boasting extremely fast boot times and low memory utilization, while providing near-instant scale-up. This is critical for JVM apps when running on high-density container platforms such as Kubernetes. It offers a great developer experience, with capabilities such as live coding, continuous testing, and so on. If you’re a Spring or Java developer/architect, this workshop is meant for you!! Even if you’re a novice Java developer you will be able to follow along and level up your skills.

While this workshop won’t transform you into a power cloud-native programmer or architect overnight, you’ll learn by doing and taking some baby steps towards the transition. In this session, you will:

• Start from scratch by installing GraalVM

• Learn how to hook up your Quarkus app to AstraDB and end up packaging it as a native app (goodbye JVM)

• Look at features of the platform such as hot reloading, debugging, etc., which make development a joy again!

After attending the session you will better understand how Quarkus powers Java developers to build reactive applications with responsive data access today!

Why Attend

If you attend live you will get the chance to win some of our special Cassandra Community Swag. We will also offer you the choice of either:
