OptaPlanner VS Quarkus

However, if you need to solve constraints etc., see: https://www.optaplanner.org/

Try looking for something built around Optaplanner - basically taking the end game of rostering and working backwards.

OptaPlanner takes some of the items tracked in tool like Odoo and creates plans based on them. I.E. how do you manage shifts while juggling multiple constraints (Jerry can only work weekends, Jeff can only work afternoons, Jim can work weekends but only on double time, etc.)

There is a library out there called Optaplanner that is designed for optimization of NP complete problems. It is hard to tell if that is exactly what this is, but I think you should be able to use this regardless.

Just stumbled upon https://www.optaplanner.org. Looks very interesting but also really overkill.

OptaPlanner - a generic scheduler.

I've never used it but it sounds like OptaPlanner may be a scheduler in the same vein?

Meanwhile, if you're building something smaller than Netflix, I'm writing a book just for that (https://opinionatedlaunch.com/).

It's about mobile apps, but I talk about backend at great length, especially since my background is Java. The book is called "opinionated" because I cover Quarkus (https://quarkus.io/), monolith, Fly.io, and no K8s.

Quarkus is a Java based framework tailored for GraalVM and HotSpot, which results in an amazingly fast boot time while having an incredibly low memory footprint. It offers near instant scale up and high density memory utilization which can be very useful for container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes or Serverless runtimes like AWS Lambda.

Other useful articles related to Quarkus extension development can be found under the Writing Extensions guide category on the Quarkus.io website.

Quarkus is one of Java frameworks for microservices development and cloud-native deployment. It is developed as container-first stack and working with GraalVM and HotSpot virtual machines (VM).

If you GraalVM Native Image or one of the frameworks based on it then bootstrap cost disappears:

We are open to practice using any open-source project, however, we want to set a sharp focus on projects maintained by the Red Hat, and our own projects in the Caravana Cloud organization on github. If there is no reason to do differently, we'll build using technologies such as OpenShift, Quarkus, Ansible and related projects.

The Quarkus you are talking about is this one? https://quarkus.io/
