Explicit architecture
Dependencies, contracts, and lifecycle remain visible instead of disappearing behind runtime magic.
Enterprise Java without the invisible machinery.
Vertique is an opinionated framework for building reliable, enterprise-ready microservices on Vert.x. It combines explicit architecture, compile-time validation, and production-grade infrastructure in a coherent modular stack.
01 / Why it exists
Fast systems still need strong foundations.
Vert.x provides an excellent asynchronous runtime, but deliberately leaves application architecture to its users. Vertique supplies an opinionated structure for teams that need more than a toolkit without giving up Vert.x's performance and flexibility.
REST APIs, typed services, Kafka integration, security, persistence, observability, jobs, and durable workflows are designed to work together while remaining individually replaceable.
02 / Design principles
Compile-time guardrails
Code generation and validation move structural mistakes into the build, before they become runtime failures.
Operational reliability
Resilience, observability, transactional messaging, and durable workflows are treated as foundational capabilities.
Modular adoption
Applications select the capabilities they need without pulling an entire platform into every service.
