Database development for Java developers

Leveraging advanced technologies allows Java developers to create versatile applications across various databases, including MySQL, Postgres, and Oracle. Frameworks like Hibernate and Open JDK S2I (Source-to-Image) amplify the process of containerizing the application development environment, ensuring consistency from development to deployment across diverse databases. For those inclined towards high-performance microservices, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) provides native support for Quarkus. Running on RHEL, Quarkus addresses complexities in Java applications running on either traditional or cloud-native development databases.
