The goal of this project is to compare some Java Microservices Frameworks like: Quarkus, Micronaut and Spring Boot. For it, we will implement applications using those frameworks, build their JVM and Native Docker images and measure start-up times, memory footprint, etc.
On ivangfr.github.io, I have compiled my Proof-of-Concepts (PoCs) and articles. You can easily search for the technology you are interested in by using the filter. Who knows, perhaps I have already implemented a PoC or written an article about what you are looking for.

The application’s JVM and Native Docker images can be found in this Docker Hub link.
We've implemented three bash scripts that collect data used in the frameworks comparison.
-
collect-jvm-jar-docker-size-times.sh
It packages JAR files and builds Docker images for JVM applications, collecting data such as JAR packaging time, JAR size, Docker image build time, and Docker image size.
-
collect-native-jar-docker-size-times.sh
It packages JAR files and builds Docker images for native applications, collecting data such as JAR packaging time, JAR size, Docker image build time, and Docker image size.
-
collect-ab-times-memory-usage.sh
It starts the container for JVM and native applications, collecting data such as startup time, initial memory usage, time taken to run A/B tests for the first time and (after a warm-up period) for the second time, final memory usage, and shutdown time.
-
remove-jvm-docker-images.sh
It removes the Docker image of JVM applications.
-
remove-native-docker-images.sh
It removes the Docker image of Native applications.
