A quick video to show how to create simple REST APIs with popular Java frameworks: Micronaut, Quarkus, and Spring Boot.

Developing services in Java, including REST APIs, wasn’t always easy or productive until Spring came along and changed the landscape. Many years have passed since then, and new frameworks have emerged in the community.

One of these frameworks was Micronaut. It’s developed by OCI, the same company behind Grails, and their goal is to help developers create microservices and serverless applications.

There is also Quarkus, another framework that gained popularity over the last year. Developed by RedHat, Quarkus promises to deliver fast startup and less memory usage, two common problems when developing REST services in Java.

With all these choices, there is a very important question to ask: how easy it is to create a service with each of these three frameworks?

In this tutorial, you’ll create a secure REST application using Spring, Micronaut, and Quarkus to see how they differ from one another, and which one best suits your needs.
