Description

React has established itself as one of the most popular and widely adopted frameworks thanks to its simple yet scalable app development abilities. Quarkus comes across as a fantastic alternative for backend development by boosting developer productivity with features such as pre-built integrations, application services, and more that bring a new, revolutionary developer experience to Java. To make the best use of both, this hands-on guide will help you get started with Quarkus and React to create and deploy an end-to-end web application. This book is divided into three parts. In the first part, you’ll begin with an introduction to Quarkus and its features, learning how to bootstrap a Quarkus project from the ground up to create a tested and secure HTTP server for your backend. The second part focuses on the frontend, showing you how to create a React project from scratch to build the application’s user interface and integrate it with the Quarkus backend. The last part guides you through creating cluster configuration manifests and deploying them to Kubernetes as well as other alternatives, such as Fly.io. By the end of this full stack development book, you’ll be confident in your skills to combine the robustness of both frameworks to create and deploy standalone, fully functional web applications.

Who is this book for?

This book is for backend web developers who have at least basic experience with Java and would like to learn React to build full stack apps by integrating it with a Quarkus-based backend. Frontend web developers with basic JavaScript experience will also find this book useful to learn how to implement a backend in Quarkus and integrate it with their frontend to create full stack web applications. Beginner-level knowledge of Java and JavaScript is recommended, but any developer experienced either with Java or JavaScript should be able to follow the backend and frontend parts easily.

This book gives us a complete and understandable overview on how to develop modern Java enterprise applications using Quarkus, React and Kubernetes orchestrated containers.Quarkus is a simple and efficient framework, specifically designed to develop Java applications using the Kubernetes orchestrated container scheme.They have stricter restrictions than the traditional scheme, since in the cloud the applications are required to start more quickly to be able to be used in a server scheme.This framework takes advantage of the huge java ecosystem and even allows java applications to run in native mode to reduce startup time and memory requirements.Its integration with the powerful multilanguage virtual machine GraalVM.React is the most popular library for the development of iterative WEB applications due to its simplicity and dynamism.This book teaches us how to make use of these modern components for the development of Java web applications that run efficiently in the cloud, covering all the needs of such applications.This book gives us a complete overview of how to take advantage of these components to develop the applications that the modern world demands.

Good book with practical tips and examples. The book makes it easy to follow and I liked that there are examples showing not just how to deploy Quarkus to Kubernetes but also dedicated alternatives like Fly.io.Of course as the author is the lead of JKube this book has excellent insights on ways to use JKube efficiently.Combined with the frontend React this book is an excellent getting started book for those wanting to know how to write a full stack application using Quarkus (and React).

First let me say that I am a huge fan of the Quarkus framework. Having experienced the progression of developing monolithic Java EE web and enterprise applications deployed to standalone application servers towards today’s containerized, microservice-based applications deployed to a Kubernetes cluster, I can assure you that Quarkus has really elevated not only the productivity level but also the developer experience for creating modern applications.You typically associate Quarkus (and Java-based services) with backend applications and not for developing front end applications; therefore, using Quarkus to handle creating both backend and front end applications really piqued my curiosity.I really think the book did a great job at introducing the reader at understanding the key concepts of Quarkus applied to creating full stack applications. Never would I have thought it would be possible to introduce the reader at using Quarkus’ JPA persistence/Hibernate as compactly as it was done in this book - but he did!The author gives the basics of using Quarkus for its typical use case: backend micro services and then he covers React at an accelerated, yet comfortable, pace. It’s up to the reader to learn the advanced features of React elsewhere (as would be expected); but again you learn enough to be productive. Personally, I’ve typically used Node.js or Nginx for hosting JavaScript web apps; I was curious what approach the author would take within the Quarkus ecosystem. The author wraps up the book by giving you approaches for deploying your Quarkus full stack applications to popular cloud Kubernetes providers.This book’s sweet spot target audience is a small team or individual developer that needs to quickly build a full stack app. I would point out that the book covers the use of React for client rendered (SPA) applications - this is acceptable for most developers but when deploying to multiple environments (as is common for Corporate environments) this requires a bit more overhead when deploying the React application to a Kubernetes cluster.Overall this is a great book to pick up if you are a fan of Java, Quarkus and looking to extend the framework to include a front end React application. I really enjoyed the book and I would recommend it to anyone new to Quarkus and interested in how to use React with it!Disclaimer: this review is based on a copy received from the publisher. However I’ve shared my honest opinions and comments.

This is a useful and comprehensive book. It covers back end Java development with Quarkus, front end development with React, and also a range of deployment options, such as Kubernetes and fly.io. I help build Quarkus, so it’s a tool I know reasonably well, but I still learned lots from the Quarkus section, and it helped clarify a few things I hadn’t really understood. Similarly, I’ve been developing with React for many years, but I still learned things from the React section. For developers who are new to these technologies, the book starts at the beginning and provides a solid introduction. It makes sure to cover every step in detail, instead of assuming pre-knowledge. I was impressed by the scope of the book; it starts with nothing, and ends with a secure containerised application deployed to the cloud.Disclosures: As I mentioned, I help build Quarkus, so I’m professionally obliged to think Quarkus is great (but I’d think it’s great anyway, because it is). I was given a review copy of this book (but I was glad about that, because the book is useful!)

Great book! It is based on Quarkus v2 and create-react-app. I recommend following along with the same versions of libraries that the book uses and then using the latest versions / tech on your first project after completing the book. Don't make the same mistake I did and wing it with vite instead of using CRA. That will completely slow down your progression through the book.
