About the Presentation: Serverless computing is gaining traction due to its efficient resource utilization and dynamic scaling capabilities. We now have exciting solutions available in Spring Boot 3 for this problem: compiling your app as a native application using GraalVM, or using the coordinated restore at checkpoint (CrAC) feature of OpenJDK. Both of these options can reduce start-up time to milliseconds.
This session explores innovative approaches to achieve "scale to zero" for Spring Boot applications without compromising on the advantages of serverless architecture. We'll examine the following techniques:
- GraalVM AOT Processing: Learn how converting your Spring Boot application to a native image with GraalVM can significantly reduce startup time, offering a more serverless-like experience.
- Project CRaC: Discover the promising capabilities of OpenJDK's coordinated restore at checkpoint (CrAC) feature, allowing for near-instant restarts within the JVM itself.
- GraalVM Hints: Uncover the secrets of fine-tuning GraalVM with optimized hints to unlock the full potential of your native image and gain further performance benefits.
- Knative & KEDA: Explore the synergy between Knative's serverless framework and KEDA's event-driven autoscaling to achieve true "scale to zero" deployment for your Spring Boot applications.
The session will provide a comparative analysis of these approaches, highlighting their strengths, limitations, and suitable use cases. Through practical demonstrations, we'll delve into the implementation details, covering build processes, deployment strategies, and best practices.
Join us to explore the journey of enabling efficient serverless scaling for your Spring Boot applications and discover the path to a more optimized and cost-effective architecture.
