Fast and Efficient Microservices with GraalVM

on YouTube ↗45m

" summary

Shows building Java microservices with GraalVM using native-image and Micronaut to get tiny, fast containers: a demo app (prime number service) compiles to a standalone 70 MB binary (~20 MB compressed), can start in milliseconds with 30–60 MB heap, and serves requests immediately. Native-image build takes ~2 minutes locally, supports PGO and G1 GC to approach warmed JIT throughput, and enforces a closed‑world analysis requiring reflection/resource config (use the Java agent to record it).
