We will take a practical guide to working with GraalVM Native Image and will try to provide examples of how to get up and running with it quickly.

In the talk we will look at a number of important topics relating to GraalVM Native Image:

• What is Native Image

• Building Simple Native Images

• Assisted Configuration

• Class Initialisation Statergy

• (Tiny) Deployment Sizes

• Deploying Native Images

• Memory Usage & GC

• Profile Guided Optimisation

There is a lot to fit into the talk, but we will try our best to get through the material. The talk will be based on a GitHub repository, which will be very useful for going over the material again.
