The path towards Spring Boot native applications
summary
Spring GraalVM Native incubator produces native executables from Spring Boot apps using GraalVM native-image and Spring Boot build-image (Cloud Native Buildpacks); current release is 0.8.3 and builds produce tiny container layers (≈20 MB base plus ~50 MB app) with instant startup and roughly 4x memory reduction for small/medium services at the cost of much longer build times (CI recommended). Supported starters and Spring Data integrations are incubating, Hibernate JPA is harder, and a 0.9 (beta, early 2021) roadmap targets Spring Boot 3 / Spring Framework 6 and build-time transformations.
