The Path Towards Spring Boot Native Applications on GraalVM
summary
Progress report on compiling Spring apps to native executables using Spring Boot native images and GraalVM native-image: spring-graal-native 0.8 (requires GraalVM 20.2 and Spring Boot 2.4 M2) can build container images with buildpacks, producing ~67 MB images; Petclinic native build takes ~3.5 minutes, starts in ~150 ms and drops RSS from ~417 MB to ~100 MB. The toolchain supports automatic reflection/proxy/resource hints, a native-image Maven/Buildpack workflow, and works with Knative scale-to-zero deployment.
