Um estudo comparativo entre as tecnologias Spring Boot e Quarkus na implementação do back-end de aplicações web com MongoDB

Abstract

The objective of this article is to compare the performance of two significant technologies for Java application development: Quarkus and Spring Boot. To achieve this, two applications with the same scope were built. One was implemented in Quarkus and the other in Spring Boot. Both applications access a MongoDB database stored in a Docker container and act as an API to interact with the database using the MongoClient client. MongoDB is a widely used document-oriented NoSQL database in web applications due to its high scalability and flexibility. To evaluate the performance of the two applications, load tests were executed using JMeter to simulate the system behavior with different requests and data traffic. In addition to the load tests performed to assess the application's performance, unit tests were also conducted using JUnit 5 and Mockito, two essential testing tools in Java. Unit tests aim to test the functionality in isolation to ensure code quality and reliability. After conducting the load tests and comparing the extracted metrics, it was found that Spring Boot performs better than Quarkus, and the difference is more substantial in specific scenarios. Therefore, within the context proposed for this work, Spring Boot demonstrated better performance than Quarkus.
