Cloud native Java microservices with GraalVM

on YouTube ↗50m

" summary

GraalVM Native Image compiles Java apps ahead of time into a self‑contained executable that the demo shows as a 50 MB binary starting in 50–300 ms and using 50–100 MB RAM while the native-image build takes about 2–3 minutes on a dev machine. Micronaut integrates AOT config and a tracing Java agent can generate reflection/resource hints during tests. Expect smaller Docker images, optional static musl linking for FROM scratch containers, and tradeoffs: faster startup and lower footprint but potentially lower peak throughput than a fully warmed JVM unless using enterprise PGO optimizations.
