#quarkusworldtour

I had an interesting chat with @kevindubois and Olimpiu Pop on the latest episode of the @infoq Podcast. We talked about developer experience, cloud native, serverless, generative AI, and the role of #Java as a modern ecosystem to tackle all these areas, continuously evolving to adapt to new industry and developers’ needs.
