Nearly 3 years since the inception many of us have seen amazing demos: How fast Quarkus based applications start, how helpful dev mode is, we have even learned continuous testing. And when going to production, it even works natively on GraalVM. This talk is the story that starts after a small meeting back in early 2019 in London that led to making the Neo4j driver compatible with GraalVM native over to providing a Quarkus extensions for just the connectivity and eventually ending with full support of Neo4j-ObjectGraphMapping framework in Quarkus. We will talk about the mechanisms Quarkus applies to create a closed world assumption that fulfills the needs of GraalVM native, how extensions need to deal with and the different modules being in a Quarkus extension. This talk will help you understanding why things in Quarkus work the way they do and how you can benefit from them. All of that will be demonstrated with Neo4j and the official Java connectivity to the worlds leading Graph database.
