Performance comparison between Spring Boot and Quarkus

This project contains the following modules:

• springboot3
  • A Spring Boot 3.x version of the application
• quarkus3
  • A Quarkus 3.x version of the application
• quarkus3-spring-compatibility
  • A Quarkus 3.x version of the application using the Spring compatibility layer

./mvnw clean verify -Dquarkus.hibernate-orm.sql-load-script=import.sql

• (macOS) You need to have a timeout compatible command:

  • Via coreutils (installed via Homebrew): brew install coreutils but note that this will install lots of GNU utils that will duplicate native commands and prefix them with g (e.g. gdate)
  • Use this implementation via Homebrew: brew install aisk/homebrew-tap/timeout
  • More options at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3504945/timeout-command-on-mac-os-x

• Base JVM Version: 21

The application expects a PostgreSQL database to be running on localhost:5432. You can use Docker or Podman to start a PostgreSQL container:

cd scripts
./infra.sh -s

This will start the database, create the required tables and populate them with some data.

To stop the database:

cd scripts
./infra.sh -d

There are some scripts available to help you run the application:

• 1strequest.sh
  • Runs an application X times and computes the time to 1st request and RSS for each iteration as well as an average over the X iterations.
• run-requests.sh
  • Runs a set of requests against a running application.
• infra.sh
  • Starts/stops required infrastructure
