"In this talk, Andy and Sébastien are going to share the latest status of their work on Spring GraalVM Native, the incubating project that allows Spring Boot applications to run as native images.

They’ll talk about:
-The collaboration between GraalVM and Spring teams
-Project Leyden
-Cheaper and greener cloud hosting via reduced memory consumption and scale to 0 applications
-Lightweight containers deployment
-The challenge of compatibility and maintainability
-Spring Boot applications without GraalVM reflection configuration via functional bean registration
-Related architectural changes in Spring

They’ll finish this presentation by sharing a glimpse of the 2021 roadmap."

"The first angle of this talk is a comparison between Kotlin and Java 15 when used to build and use DSLs like KoFu and JaFu to configure Spring Boot from https://github.com/spring-projects-experimental/spring-fu.

The second aspect covered is the key advantage offered by Spring infrastructure configured in a functional way, and how it could shape the future of the Spring portfolio: lower memory consumption, faster startup and smaller GraalVM-native image.

We’ll also share our thoughts about the advantages of configuring Spring Boot explicitly with this approach: you are fully in control of what features you enable or not."
