== Andres Almiray - Releasing At The Speed of Light

Your project has reached that stage when it’s a good idea to post binaries, but new questions appear such as where should they be posted? How do make it easier for users to install and discover your binaries? Where should releases be announced? Most importantly, can answers to these question be automated? Enter JReleaser, a tool that provides answers to these questions and more. JReleaser may be used to create GiHub/GitLab/Gitea releases and publish binaries that can be consumed from different distribution channels such as Homebrew, Snap, Scoop, and more. Once published, the release cab be automatically announced on Twitter, Slack, Gitter, Discord, and other communication channels.
Come to this session to learn how JReleaser can help you release, publish, and announce binaries with ease, and fast!

== Dmitry Chuyko - Chasing the Grail

As you probably already know, AOT and Graal JIT are not included by default in JDK 16. Is it all gone? Is it still possible to write your own JVMCI compiler or execute JavaScript inside the JDK? It would be nice to understand what is generally going on in the GraalVM development camp, as well as what the framework creators think. It will be useful for business to learn how the GraalVM licensing model is changing, and what alternatives have appeared now.
Important changes are taking place in the area of creating small container images. JDK 16 now has full musl support. But the task of minimizing the OS layer is relevant for both GraalVM and the native image, and is also successfully solved.
At runtime, it is critical to understand how to measure, target, and improve the performance of microservices using the wide range of JVM and native image technologies available today. We'll cover techniques, metrics, options, and tools to help you optimize without changing your code.
Overall, you will see a broader picture of the possibilities for creating the most efficient microservice containers of which Graal and its associated tools are a part.
