Overview
Head-to-head Java framework comparison built around the same small order API in Spring Boot and Quarkus. The project is structured to support a real source-level comparison instead of a slide-only claim.
Comparison Focus
- Startup time on the JVM
- Native-image cold-start advantage
- Packaging/build-time cost
- Memory footprint
- Developer feedback loop during local iteration

Key Angle
Spring Boot wins on familiarity and broad ecosystem comfort. Quarkus wins on runtime density and native-image deployment profiles, but it charges more build complexity when you push into native mode.
