Book Library Microservice — Quarkus Native Image Using Panache ORM with Postgres Backend

Chapter 6: In this blog, we will build a Quarkus native image application to store and fetch selected books, by the user. We will be using Panache ORM to access PostgreSQL to store and retrieve the user preferences and will be using PV & PVCs.

Book Library Microservice, is called by the application, to store and retrieve the user's book preferences. We will be storing the user preferences in the PostgreSQL database. Let’s get started.

Step 1: Generate and configure the Quarkus application

Quarkus boilerplate code can be generated at https://code.quarkus.io/ and or use the command line to generate the boilerplate. Please refer to Quarkus documentation for generating the boilerplate code.

We will need the following dependencies — JSONB, RESTEasy, arc, JUnit, assured, container-image-docker, smallrye, graphQL, jackson, quarkus-hibernate-orm-panache, quarkus-redis-client, quarkus-jdbc-postgresql, kubernetes-config. The pom file should look something like the following screenshot.
