What's your opinion on vert.x vs quarkus? For more general purpose web stuff, it seemed to me vert.x had more libraries.

Also, as for database, I really got fed up with hibernate (all configuration and stuff), do you know any simpler asynchronous / reactive alternative that handles object mapping? (automatically serializing from / into SQL objects).

Quarkus uses vert.x for web. What it does is provides a standard way with instructions to build a native image (along with some added functionality). I don't know if it's easy to build a native image from just vert.x app.

About database, sorry, I have no idea. Check out JDBI, JOOQ, those are most popular ones, AFAIK.

Also Quarkus adds reactive API to hibernate and some API to simplify some mundane Hibernate API, so maybe you'll like it.

Thanks. I was thinking it's different because it used Mutiny APIs or something.
