Coming from Spring Boot to Quarkus

I interviewed at a job yesterday for a Java back REST API developer. Even though I did excellent in the first technical screen, and was told I was being moved on to the next round, I never heard back. I only recently found out that I was rejected because I didn't know Quarkus, but the recruiter and the tech interview knew this up front. They knew I was a SpringBoot user and I had never used Quarkus.

Anyway, I had to look into it. I understand that Quarkus should be really to understand if you already have experience with Spring Boot, and I have years of experience with Spring and Spring Boot!

So, I have IntelliJI IDEA, and I have an existing SpringBoot REST CRUD app. I created the basic Quarkus app and I pulled in a few things like the JDBC Driver for MySQL and the REST Jackson, and a few more dependencies in Maven.

The idea is to port my SpringBoot REST CRUD app to Quarkus. The database is running in Docker which is fine. So, this is where I am starting. Anyone want to give any tips on moving things over? Database access, any tips on the business logic?

Anyway, I hope some of you Quarkus users can help me ramp up, and maybe some of you are SpringBoot users also. Thanks!
