Micronaut + GraalVM: The Future of Native Microservices

The demand for faster, cheaper, and more efficient cloud-native applications is driving a major shift in Java microservices. Traditional JVM-based frameworks like Spring Boot, while powerful, struggle with cold starts and memory overhead—critical pain points in serverless and Kubernetes environments. Enter Micronaut Framework combined with GraalVM Native Image, a game-changing duo that enables sub-10ms startup times and drastically reduced memory footprints through Ahead-of-Time (AOT) compilation. …
