ArC, the CDI container, is bootstrapped at build time.
The downside of this approach is that CDI Portable Extensions cannot be supported.
Nevertheless, the functionality can be achieved using the Quarkus-specific extensions API.
ArC, the CDI container in Quarkus, is bootstrapped at build time.
To integrate with the container, CDI Build Compatible Extensions can be used, as well as a Quarkus-specific extension API.
CDI Portable Extensions are not and cannot be supported.
This guide focuses on the Quarkus-specific extensions API.

The container is bootstrapped in multiple phases.

Sometimes it is practical to be able to register a _synthetic bean_.
Bean attributes of a synthetic bean are not derived from a Java class, method or field.
Instead, all the attributes are defined by an extension.

This behavior is defined by CDI.
But producer methods and fields and observer methods are discovered even if the declaring class is not annotated with a bean defining annotation (this behavior is different to what is defined in CDI).
In fact, the declaring bean classes are considered annotated with `@Dependent`.

== Conclusion
In this guide, we've covered some basic topics of the Quarkus programming model that is based on the https://jakarta.ee/specifications/cdi/2.0/cdi-spec-2.0.html[Contexts and Dependency Injection for Java 2.0, window="_blank"] specification.
However, a full CDI implementation is not used under the hood.
Quarkus only implements a subset of the CDI features - see also <<cdi-reference.adoc#supported_features,the list of supported features>> and <<cdi-reference.adoc#limitations,the list of limitations>>.
On the other hand, there are quite a few <<cdi-reference#nonstandard_features,non-standard features>> and <<cdi-reference.adoc#build_time_apis,Quarkus-specific APIs>>.
We believe that our efforts will drive the innovation of the CDI specification towards the build-time oriented developer stacks in the future.
