Developer's introduction to GraalVM by Oleg Šelajev

GraalVM is an integrated, polyglot, high-performance execution environment for dynamic, static, and native languages. It supports Java, Scala, Kotlin, Groovy, other JVM languages, and can run the dynamic scripting languages JavaScript including Node.js, Ruby, Python, and so on.

In this practical session, we’ll learn how to begin using Graal on a typical Java and JavaScript project. What’s the best way to obtain GraalVM and plug it in? What to look for regarding the performance improvements? How to organize project files for polyglot interoperability? Should you compile your code ahead-of-time or run it on the JVM? How to use the common tooling across all languages GraalVM supports: a profiler, debugger, and heap analyzer.

As a result, you’ll be ready to try GraalVM on your project, know about which parts of this large project are relevant for your Java code, how to begin your experiments with it, and what to expect from them.

From annotations to declarative, the path to more explicit Spring configuration by Nicolas Frankel

In the latest years, there has been some push-back against frameworks, and more specifically annotations: some call them magic. Obviously, they make understanding the flow of the application harder.

Spring and Spring Boot latest versions go along this trend, by offering an additional way to configure beans with explicit code instead of annotations. It's called functional, because it moves configuration from objects to behavior.

This talk aims to demo a step-by-step process to achieve that. In the end, the demo application will run without any annotations at all using only declarative configuration, thanks to a new initiative called Spring Fu. This will allow to use GraalVM to create a native image of the final JAR.
