This project has been configured to let you generate either a lightweight container or a native executable. It is also possible to run your tests in a native image.
If you're already familiar with Spring Boot container images support, this is the easiest way to get started. Docker should be installed and configured on your machine prior to creating the image.
To create the image, run the following goal:
$ ./gradlew bootBuildImage
Then, you can run the app like any other container:
$ docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 moviemag:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
Use this option if you want to explore more options such as running your tests in a native image.
The GraalVM native-image compiler should be installed and configured on your machine.
NOTE: GraalVM 22.3+ is required.
To create the executable, run the following goal:
$ ./gradlew nativeCompile
Then, you can run the app as follows:
$ build/native/nativeCompile/moviemag
You can also run your existing tests suite in a native image. This is an efficient way to validate the compatibility of your application.
To run your existing tests in a native image, run the following goal:
$ ./gradlew nativeTest
There are some limitations regarding Native Build Tools and Gradle toolchains. Native Build Tools disable toolchain support by default. Effectively, native image compilation is done with the JDK used to execute Gradle. You can read more about toolchain support in the Native Build Tools here.
