Testing Your Way to Production Confidence with Native Images
summary
Shows a concrete test-first path to shipping GraalVM native images with Spring Boot 3 and Spring Framework 6: use Spring Boot buildpacks to produce OCI artifacts, have Testcontainers (Maven Invoker) build the native image in CI, then run the same Rest Assured integration tests against the JVM and the generated container to verify feature parity — demo builds (sometimes minutes) and runs green, with native images start in ~0.051s and container sizes down to ~218MB; trade-offs: long build time and workload-dependent perf.
