Building an Event Ticketing App with Quarkus & ButterCMS
This is a demo project that integrates ButterCMS with Quarkus. It mimics a ticketing platform on which clients can book tickets for events added by editor through Butter.
The building process is documented in the related blog post.
This project was created as an example use case of ButterCMS in conjunction with a blog article, Building an Event Ticketing App with Quarkus & ButterCMS, and will not be actively maintained.
If you’re interested in exploring the best, most up-to-date way to integrate Butter into Java frameworks like Quarkus, you can check out the following resources:
The following turn-key starters are fully integrated with dynamic sample content from your ButterCMS account, including main menu, pages, blog posts, categories, and tags, all with a beautiful, custom theme with already-implemented search functionality. All of the included sample content is automatically created in your account dashboard when you sign up for a free trial of ButterCMS.

- Angular Starter
- React Starter
- Vue.js Starter

The system is organised around Butter and the service that allows clients to book tickets:
You can run your application in dev mode that enables live coding using:
./mvnw compile quarkus:dev
NOTE: Quarkus now ships with a Dev UI, which is available in dev mode only at http://localhost:8080/q/dev/.
The application can be packaged using:
./mvnw package
It produces the quarkus-run.jar
file in the target/quarkus-app/
directory.
Be aware that it’s not an über-jar as the dependencies are copied into the target/quarkus-app/lib/
directory.
The application is now runnable using java -jar target/quarkus-app/quarkus-run.jar
.
If you want to build an über-jar, execute the following command:
./mvnw package -Dquarkus.package.type=uber-jar
The application, packaged as an über-jar, is now runnable using java -jar target/*-runner.jar
.
You can create a native executable using:
./mvnw package -Pnative
Or, if you don't have GraalVM installed, you can run the native executable build in a container using:
./mvnw package -Pnative -Dquarkus.native.container-build=true
You can then execute your native executable with: ./target/ticket-service-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-runner
