Spring Native - The Path Towards Native Spring Applications

Martin Lippert (Pivotal Software, Inc now under VMWare-April 2020)

In this talk, Martin will share the latest status of the ongoing work performed by the Spring team to allow running Spring Boot applications as GraalVM native images for instant startup and low memory consumption. He will talk about how to run various types of Spring Boot applications as native executables, what that means for real-world applications, and the impact that this powerful combination of Spring Boot and GraalVM technology could have from several different perspectives (including running Spring Boot apps in the cloud, in scale-to-zero environments, and the environment).

A Hitchhiker's Tour to Containerizing a Java application

Nicolas Fränkel (Hazelcast)

As “the Cloud” becomes more and more widespread, now is a good time to assess how you can containerize your Java application. I assume you’re able to write a a Dockerfile around the generated JAR. However, each time the application’s code will change, the whole image will need to be rebuilt. If you’re deploying to a local Kubernetes cluster environment, this increases that much the length of the feedback loop.

What GraalVM means for the Eclipse IDE

Martin Lippert (Pivotal Software, Inc now under VMWare-April 2020)

GraalVM is a new high-performance polyglot VM from Oracle that will probably replace the HotSpot JVM sometime in the future. Reason enough to take a look at the first releases of the GraalVM and explore what that means for Eclipse. This talks gives an intro to GraalVM, explains the different pieces, and explores possible ways to use GraalVM together with the Eclipse IDE. Among the topics we will talk about:
