For this episode of the Foojay Podcast, we invited the author of three recent posts published on Foojay. And he brought a colleague to get even more expert knowledge in this podcast! We talk about Quarkus, how it is "cloud-native", how it compares to other frameworks, the advantages for developers and managers, etc. We also discussed nano businesses and how they can serve as a model for paying creators of digital content, thanks to x402 and ERC-8004.
