With the rise of cloud infrastructure and cloud native architectures, developers need to be able to build faster, leaner applications.In the Java community, GraalVM is generating a lot of excitement, partly due to it’s AOT/native image capability which enables developers to compile JVM bytecode to native executables (machine code).In this hands on lab, we’ll walk through creating a native image, comparing performance with the same code running on the JVM, building with Maven plugin and packaging it in a lightweight (“distroless”) container.

About speaker
Aleksandar Prokopec, author
I am a principal researcher at Oracle Labs, working on the Graal language infrastructure project. My research is focused on composable, scalable and modular programming language abstractions for large-scale distributed computing, as well as implementation of frameworks, languages and runtimes for distributed programming.
Previously, I worked at Google on cloud computing infrastructure and big data analytics for Google Maps. Before that, I was working as a research assistant in the School of Computer and Communication Sciences at the EPFL in Switzerland, in the LAMP laboratory on Scala development under the supervision of dr. Martin Odersky, where I received a doctoral degree in 2014.
