Supercharge your Native Image applications
summary
GraalVM Native Image compiles Java ahead-of-time to reduce startup and memory: demos show unit tests built and executed as native binaries using native Maven/Gradle plugins 0.9.21, a Micronaut app talking to MySQL via Testcontainers passes native tests, and an H2 example required picking up config from a centralized native-config repo to succeed. The tracing agent generates reflection configs, profile-guided optimization raises peak throughput, default serial GC and options like Epsilon are available, and UPX compression shrinks images from 66MB to 17MB or down to ~5MB.
