Full Stack Quarkus and React

By: Marc Nuri San Felix

Overview of this book

React has established itself as one of the most popular and widely adopted frameworks thanks to its simple yet scalable app development abilities. Quarkus comes across as a fantastic alternative for backend development by boosting developer productivity with features such as pre-built integrations, application services, and more that bring a new, revolutionary developer experience to Java. To make the best use of both, this hands-on guide will help you get started with Quarkus and React to create and deploy an end-to-end web application. This book is divided into three parts. In the first part, you’ll begin with an introduction to Quarkus and its features, learning how to bootstrap a Quarkus project from the ground up to create a tested and secure HTTP server for your backend. The second part focuses on the frontend, showing you how to create a React project from scratch to build the application’s user interface and integrate it with the Quarkus backend. The last part guides you through creating cluster configuration manifests and deploying them to Kubernetes as well as other alternatives, such as Fly.io. By the end of this full stack development book, you’ll be confident in your skills to combine the robustness of both frameworks to create and deploy standalone, fully functional web applications.

Deploying the task manager to minikube

Eclipse JKube’s Kubernetes Maven Plugin includes another goal that allows you to deploy the application into Kubernetes from the generated YAML files without the need for other tools such as kubectl. Let’s do this by executing the following command in the same terminal session we’ve been using so far:

./mvnw k8s:apply

The Maven execution should complete successfully, and we should be able to see Eclipse JKube’s log messages related to the Kubernetes object creations as follows:

The application should be ready and we should be able to navigate to the exposed URL, in our case http://task-manager.192.168.49.2.nip.io, and test our application as follows:
