Look inside

In this liveProject, you’ll go hands-on to initiate a Quarkus project for a video streaming service. You’ll step into the shoes of a software engineer for Chill+, a streaming service looking to reduce resource consumption and take control of the infrastructure cost budget of its scaling Java-based microservices. You’ll implement and test a first version of the Chill+ Catalog API by using the Quarkus live reload feature, and package the application as a Java archive. You’ll then measure how Quarkus impacts the memory and start-up performance of your application.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
