<!-- Source: https://github.com/testcontainers/tc-guide-testcontainers-in-quarkus-applications -->

In this guide, you'll learn how to:

- Create a Quarkus application with REST API endpoints
- Use Hibernate ORM with Panache and PostgreSQL for persistence
- Test the REST API using Quarkus Dev Services, which uses Testcontainers behind
  the scenes
- Test with services not supported by Dev Services using
  `QuarkusTestResourceLifecycleManager`

## Prerequisites

- Java 17+
- Maven or Gradle
- A Docker environment supported by Testcontainers
