In this lab you'll learn about Spring Boot and GraalVM native images. This is what we'll do:

  • Use Spring Initializr to generate a starter Spring Boot web application that is ready to be built as a native image.
  • Add a small amount of code so that we can easily test the application from the command line or a browser.
  • Build and test the application in three different ways:
    • As a standard, non-native JVM application
    • As a native image application
    • As an OCI container containing a native image
