Fly like a rocket with Helidon

" summary

Helidon 2.x claims much lower RAM and subsecond startup times by using Java 11+, jlink and GraalVM native image support for Helidon MP producing ~20–28 MB native executables, while JVM builds start in fractions of a second. It adds MicroProfile Reactive Streams and reactive operators, a nonblocking Helidon DB Client that runs blocking JDBC on a separate executor, an HTTP client in SE, and a prebuilt CLI with live-reloading that scaffolds, builds and redeploys projects for rapid development.
