What's new with Spring Native on Google Cloud

on YouTube ↗12m

" summary

Spring Native uses GraalVM native-image and ahead‑of‑time compilation to turn Spring apps into native executables, cutting Docker image size and startup time at the cost of longer, memory‑heavy builds (minutes and several GB). Example uses Spring Boot 2.6.4 with Java 11 baseline, builds via Spring Boot Build-Image, pushes artifacts to Artifact Registry and runs on Cloud Run. Runtime works and shows dramatic size and cold‑start improvements, but dynamic class loading requires explicit native hints and extra config.
