Shows five concrete apps built with GraalVM native image: a 40 MB Spring Shell CLI that starts instantly; a bundled full‑stack travel app calling OpenAI’s API; a single‑file Java LLM inference engine running Llama 3.2 1B locally and interactively; benchmarks report JVM ≈1.4k RPS, native image baseline ≈1.1k RPS, optimized native ≈1.5k RPS; covers PGO and ML‑PGO, vector API and FFM for fast inference, polyglot Python integration, and attack‑surface reduction by stripping unused code.
