Full Stack Quarkus and React

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.

Introducing GitHub Actions

Before we dig deeper into GitHub and its Actions infrastructure, we need to have a better understanding of the CI, continuous delivery, and continuous deployment (CD) concepts (usually abbreviated as CI/CD), and how these agile practices can help in the software delivery process.

What is continuous integration?

The term continuous integration was originally coined by Grady Booch in his book Object-Oriented Analysis and Design with Applications, published in 1991. CI is a software development practice by which several developers commit their work on a single development project to a central repository where automated builds and tests are run to guarantee that these changes won’t break the project. Further refinements of the CI term, especially those proposed by the Extreme Programming (XP) software development methodology, include repeating this operation multiple times a day.

CI tries to solve the problem where other development processes...
