This article demonstrates how Quarkus enables developers to simplify JPA implementation using Kotlin programming APIs for reactive Java applications.

For decades, developers have struggled with optimizing persistence layer implementation in terms of storing business data, retrieving relevant data quickly, and — most importantly — simplifying data transaction logic regardless of programming languages. Fortunately, this challenge triggered the invention of Java ecosystems in which developers can implement the Java Persistence API (JPA). For instance, Hibernate Object-Relational Mapper (ORM) with Panache is the standard framework for JPA implementation in the Java ecosystem. Kotlin is a programming language designed to run business applications with multiple programming languages on top of Java Virtual Machine (JVM) for the Java Persistence implementation. But there’s still a hurdle for Java developers to catch up on the new syntax and JPA APIs of Kotlin. This article will explain how Quarkus makes it easier for developers to implement Kotlin applications through the Quarkus Hibernate ORM Panache Kotlin extension.
