Bring the Action: Using GraalVM in Production
GraalVM has been around for a while, and more and more developers and teams are using it to run Java applications faster, more efficiently, and more securely. According to the latest “State of Spring” survey, 37% of Spring users either already run applications natively compiled GraalVM in production, or are currently evaluating it, and 31% more have such plans.
For those who haven’t moved to GraalVM yet though, the questions and concerns are usually similar: how hard is it to migrate? Can I use my libraries and tools? Can I monitor such native applications? What about using the latest Java features?
In this hands-on session, we’ll talk about all the practical aspects of building and running applications with GraalVM, tooling, monitoring, and using popular libraries, and cover common questions that we get from users.Speaker

This Ain't Your Parents' Java
Java was once a language that dragged along at snail's pace. Thankfully, that's no longer the case. In the recent years the pace of development has accelerated, both in language features and in the JDK improvements. Come along to dive into some of the recent changes of Java that are both fun and powerful to use, to learn how you can benefit from these, and we'll also discuss where the language is heading in the near future....
