Bio
In his work for Novatec Consulting GmbH Christian supports customers in the digital transformation towards distributed, cloud-based (microservice) architectures. In doing so he primarily works with Spring Boot, but increasingly also other frameworks such as Micronaut and Quarkus.
He is convinced that the practical discussion of this topic is worthwhile for every architect and developer — even if microservices and the frameworks to build them are certainly not the silver bullet for all software engineering problems.

Supersonic Subatomic Mocking: How to test your Quarkus app with Kotlin, JUnit and MockK
"The relatively young Quarkus framework is an increasingly serious competitor to established microservice frameworks such as Spring Boot. This is largely due to the fact that the powerful but yet lightweight application framework offers small memory footprint and reduced boot time. Hence, it’s not only interesting for developing microservices in containerized cloud platforms such as Kubernetes, but also for serverless computing.
And of course it supports – like almost all relevant JVM frameworks – your all-time favorite language: Kotlin!
When developing an application with Quarkus and Kotlin you will sooner or later (hopefully sooner 😉) write tests to determine whether your code behaves as expected. And as a Kotlin developer you probably want to use the technologies you are already familiar with, e.g. JUnit and MockK. But there are certain aspects you should be aware of when testing and mocking CDI beans in Quarkus.
Interested? Then let me share our experiences how to test a Quarkus app with Kotlin, JUnit and MockK. Practical insights guaranteed!"
