Article Series: Native Compilations Boosts Java
Java dominates enterprise applications. But in the cloud, Java is more expensive than some competitors. Native compilation makes Java in the cloud cheaper. It raises many questions for all Java users: How does native Java change development? When should we switch to native Java? When should we not? And what framework should we use for native Java? This series provides answers to these questions.

Revolutionizing Java with GraalVM Native Image
GraalVM Native Image is an ahead-of-time compiler that generates native Java executables. These executables start very fast and use less CPU and memory. This makes Java in the cloud cheaper. GraalVM can even achieve peak throughput on par with the JVM. Many Java frameworks already support GraalVM, such as Spring Boot, Micronaut, Quarkus, Gluon, etc.
