Goals

The main goal was to take an out-of-the-box Faces (formerly JSF)
application (PrimeFaces Showcase)
and get it running in Quarkus and deployed as a GraalVM Native executable or an UberJar single
executable JAR.

Application

See QuarkusFaces Showcase running live in GraalVM on a free cloud
hosting using 0.1 VCPU and 512MB RAM. It is an underpowered machine, but it gets the point across.

Optimizations

• Apache MyFaces (Quarkus) instead of Jakarta Mojarra (Wildfly)
• PrimeFaces MOVE_SCRIPTS_TO_BOTTOM
• Quarkus Brotli
  Compression quarkus.http.enable-compression=true
• OmniFaces CombinedResourceHandler
• PrimeFaces
  Extensions CombinedResourceHandler Helper
• jQuery Hide Page Until Complete
• Caffeine High Performance Caching
