quarkus [create] [dev] [build] [extension] [options] [args]

quarkus is the CLI for Quarkus, a Kubernetes-native Java framework. It creates, builds, and runs Quarkus applications.Development mode provides live reload. Code changes trigger automatic restart. Dev services spin up databases and other dependencies automatically.Native compilation uses GraalVM to produce standalone executables. These start in milliseconds and use less memory than traditional Java.Extensions add functionality: REST APIs, database access, messaging, security, and more. The extension catalog covers most enterprise needs.Container image building integrates with Docker, Podman, and Kubernetes. Images can use JVM or native mode.The framework targets microservices and serverless deployments where fast startup and low memory are critical.

Native compilation takes time and memory. Some Java libraries don't work in native mode. GraalVM required for native builds.

Quarkus was released by Red Hat in 2019 as a "supersonic, subatomic Java" framework. It was designed from the ground up for container and Kubernetes deployments, addressing Java's traditional weaknesses in startup time and memory.
