In this session, Eric will show concepts and conventions familiar to Spring developers and demonstrate how those same concepts and conventions can be implemented in Quarkus, all while highlighting similarities and differences between them. Additionally, Eric will cover testing with Quarkus Dev Services. This session will be mostly code while minimizing the number of slides; Eric will introduce an existing Spring application with a full test suite and build a Quarkus equivalent version of it, live.
