The Good, the Bad, and the Native - Cloud Native Development with GraalVM

Explore the advantages and challenges of cloud-native development in this comprehensive conference talk from Conf42 Cloud Native 2024. Delve into the concept of cloud-native architecture, examining its benefits such as scalability, cost-efficiency, and improved availability. Learn about the JVM microservices frameworks ecosystem and witness practical demonstrations. Investigate GraalVM and its components, including the interpreter, C1, C2, and the Graal compiler. Discover the process of creating native executables through ahead-of-time compilation and explore the pros and cons of native building. Gain insights into best practices for implementing GraalVM native image, using the tracing agent, and conducting native tests. Access valuable resources to further enhance your understanding of cloud-native development.
