Quarkus 3.28 just shipped a feature I’ve wanted for years: Dashboards-as-Code.

You can now bundle Grafana dashboards directly in META-INF/grafana/ and Dev Services auto-provisions them on startup.
Metrics, dashboards, and even AI token tracking (LangChain4j + Ollama) — all versioned with your source code.

A clean win for real #ObservabilityAsCode.

You’ve containerized your Spring app — but is it really cloud-native?
Quarkus was made for Kubernetes: smaller images, fast boot, Dev Services for DBs, Kafka, and more.
Level up from "just containerized" to fully optimized.
