Regrettably, our capacity to consistently revisit items from past Radar editions is limited.

Native Image is a technology to ahead-of-time compile Java code to a standalone executable, called a native image. In the process of building a native image all library dependencies, including those from the JDK will be packed in the native image. The application created as a native image can be run without a JDK. The natively compiled applications require generally less memory and have shorter start up times.
We at AOE have already running microservices written in Scala with Graal Native Image.
