Quarkus has great performance – and we have new evidence

tl;dr Performance is important to Quarkus, but our published performance graphics were outdated and missing important information (such the fact that we have fantastic throughput). To fix that, we built a new benchmark that is transparent, reproducible, and measures the full performance picture. In our experiments, Quarkus can handle 2.7 times more transactions per second than Spring Boot, as well as starting 2.3 times faster, all in half the memory.
