Faster, Leaner, Predictable: Quarkus vs Spring Under Real Load

DevOps Stage — 30 minutes DevOps Kubernetes Microservices

Modern organizations increasingly adopt FinOps principles to balance engineering autonomy with responsible cloud spending. In this presentation, I explore a practical comparison between Quarkus and Spring Boot through the lens of cost-efficient microservice design.  Using identical REST microservices deployed in containerized environments, I analyze how startup time, memory footprint, container size and runtime behavior directly influence infrastructure elasticity, compute utilization and long-term operational predictability.Rather than focusing solely on framework capabilities, the session highlights how technical decisions made during development cascade into real financial impact in production environments. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of when each framework is more cost-effective, how resource profiles affect Kubernetes scaling strategies, and how engineering teams can align architecture choices with measurable FinOps outcomes. This talk is designed for architects, developers and engineering leaders seeking a balanced, data-driven perspective on building faster, leaner and more predictable microservices. Read More...
