iO Associates are delighted to announce our next Java Virtual Meetup will be on Tuesday 10th May at 7pm! We will be joined by Kris Foster, GraaIVM Product Management at Oracle Labs, who will be delivering a session on ‘GraalVM, Spring & Containers - The benefits of native executables in Containers’.

This talk will take a look at how you can use GraalVM Native Image to package your Java Spring Applications as a native executable within Docker containers. We will start out with a Simple Spring application, look at how we can "dockers" it and then take a look at various performance characteristics.

We will then move onto to how to create a native executable of this application, using GraalVM Native Image. We will package it in a couple of containers (including Distroless) and see how we can shrink the container size, reduce the start-up time and reduce memory consumption.

About Kris:

Kris works with the Java sales team to raise the profile of GraalVM, Oracle's new Java Runtime, as well as helping to identify applications, sectors and businesses that would benefit from GraalVM's unique feature set.

Kris is also responsible for working with customers on Proof-of-Concepts that help them to establish the value of GraalVM, within their organisations.
