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.

Creating a Continuous Integration Pipeline

In this chapter, we’ll learn how to create a continuous integration (CI) pipeline with GitHub Actions for our task manager application. We’ll start by learning about CI and why it’s important in the context of GitHub Actions. Then, we’ll learn how to create a GitHub repository to host our project and how to push our local files to the new repository. Finally, we’ll learn how to create a GitHub Actions pipeline to build and test our project and understand how this fits in a CI and deployment software development practice.

By the end of this chapter, you should have a basic overview of GitHub Actions, and know how to implement CI workflows and pipelines for your projects. Being able to create CI pipelines for your project will allow you and your team to adopt agile software development practices while guaranteeing that your application doesn’t break with each small change.

We will be covering the...
