Containerizing Java Applications for Kubernetes With Jib
summary
Jib is a Maven/Gradle plugin that builds Java container images without a Docker daemon, infers layers (dependencies, resources, classes) and pushes them independently so incremental changes send only the small classes layer. Demos show a fat-jar image shrinking from ~300 MB to ~82 MB by switching base images and rebuild latency dropping from ~35s to ~5–15s for code-only changes. Integrates with Skaffold for continuous deploys (Spring PetClinic demo) and exposes a Java library jib-core for custom image construction.
