 Quarkus shifts work from runtime to build time, thus enabling faster cold starts.
-Additionally, it offers the option to generate native executables with GraalVM's native-image, enabling cold starts in milliseconds and a minimal memory footprint, resulting in higher pod density, quicker horizontal scaling, and lower idle costs.

 As such, it enables cost-effective deployment in containers and serverless environments.
 
-Native images often give faster startup and lower RSS; however, they can deliver lower peak throughput and exhibit scaling limits on multi-core machines.
+Native images often provide faster startup and lower RSS. However, they can deliver lower peak throughput and exhibit scaling limits on multi-core machines.
 Current native images typically use a single-threaded garbage collector, which is inefficient for large heaps and does not benefit from multiple cores.
-We generally recommend native execution for services that run on smaller instances up to two vCPUs with roughly two to four gigabytes of RAM, where startup time and memory footprint dominate cost and user experience.

 JVM execution, by contrast, takes longer to start and warm up.
-However, it can achieve higher peak performance through just-in-time compilation, it scales well beyond two cores, and it offers more capable garbage collectors and tuning options.

 Choose the mode that matches your workload profile, cold-start targets, and cost envelope, and let Quarkus maintain a consistent development model across both paths.
 
-* If you optimize for native execution, audit reflection and resource usage, enable dead-code elimination friendly patterns, and consider profile-guided optimizations where appropriate.
-* If you optimize for JVM execution, budget for warmup, enable the right GC for your heap and latency goals, and measure steady-state throughput under realistic load.

 Quarkus also includes structured health checks, metrics, and tracing, which align the runtime with production standards from day one.

 By packaging Quarkus extensions, curated defaults, and service templates into an internal Quarkus stack, teams focus on business logic.
 At the same time, your framework layer standardizes infrastructure, security, and operational integrations across services.
-This has been exemplified by Logicdrop, which refactored its entire Spring Boot stack with Quarkus, reducing container size by ~75%, achieving sub-second startup times, and significantly improving developer productivity.
