? About the Event:
In the Java world, Spring Boot has long been the go-to framework for building robust modern applications. But with Micronaut gaining traction, developers are starting to ask: is it time for a new standard?
This talk compares the two frameworks side-by-side — in performance, productivity, and cloud readiness — and helps you choose the best fit for your next project.

We’ll cover:

• What is Micronaut and how it differs from Spring Boot;

• A simple “Hello World” demo;

• Performance comparison: startup time, memory footprint, and latency;

• Cloud integrations and serverless compatibility;

• Ecosystem overview: docs, libraries, plugins, and community;

• Quirks, features, and practical lessons;

• Real-world case study – a sample service implemented in both;

• Final insights and Q&A.

? Who should attend:
Java developers, software architects, and tech leads interested in optimizing their backend stack and exploring next-generation frameworks.
