Workshop: GraalVM (part 1)

on YouTube ↗01h 06m

" summary

Workshop shows GraalVM 20.3 running on Java 11 and builds a Micronaut web app that computes primes, producing a native-image in about one to two minutes and a ~74 MB binary. Demonstrates using the native-image agent to generate reflection config, explains class initialization choices (buildtime vs runtime) and flags to adjust them, mentions G1 GC and profile‑guided optimizations for AOT, warns to build on Linux for Docker targets, and shrinks the binary with UPX compression.
