GraalVM Native Support
This project has been configured to let you generate either a lightweight container or a native executable. It is also possible to run your tests in a native image.
Lightweight Container with Cloud Native Buildpacks
If you're already familiar with Spring Boot container images support, this is the easiest way to get started. Docker should be installed and configured on your machine prior to creating the image.
To create the image, run the following goal:
$ ./gradlew bootBuildImage
Then, you can run the app like any other container:
$ docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 playground:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
Executable with Native Build Tools
Use this option if you want to explore more options such as running your tests in a native image.
The GraalVM native-image
compiler should be installed and configured on your machine.
NOTE: GraalVM 22.3+ is required.
To create the executable, run the following goal:
$ ./gradlew nativeCompile
Then, you can run the app as follows:
$ build/native/nativeCompile/playground
You can also run your existing tests suite in a native image. This is an efficient way to validate the compatibility of your application.
To run your existing tests in a native image, run the following goal:
$ ./gradlew nativeTest
