Quarkus vs Spring: Performance, Developer Experience, and Production Trade-offs : Part 1

Since the advent of Spring Boot, it has been the De-Facto Backend Framework for Java Web Developers, thanks to its Developer friendly ecosystem, Autoconfiguration Magic and ready to code setup (Spring starters). But, This is the age of cloud. Several other frameworks have mushroomed up, such as Micronaut and Quarkus. We will talk about Quarkus, how is it different from Spring Boot, how cloud has made companies to rethink their strategy of choosing the framework, and what is Spring's answer to Quarkus. For me, Quarkus was difficult. Despite Quarkus having similar ready to code setup, similar style of writing code, there was far less developer support and exhaustive documentation when compared to that of Spring boot's detailed documentation and other online forums. Spring uses reflection heavily for autoconfiguration. It provides amazing developer experience.
