Use GitHub Actions to Build GraalVM Native Images
Getting something to work is one of the greatest feelings you can have as a developer. Especially when you’ve spent hours, days, or months trying to make it happen. The last mile can be one of the most painful and rewarding experiences, all wrapped into the same day or two. I experienced this recently with Spring Native for JHipster. If I look back, it took a year’s worth of desire, research, and perseverance to make...
Introducing Spring Native for JHipster: Serverless Full-Stack Made Easy
Over the years, I’ve developed a lot of Java applications. I started writing Java code in the late 90s and spent several years doing Java before I tried another server-side language. I was impressed when I first tried building apps in Ruby on Rails, Python, and Node.js - they all started super-fast! Starting fast is cool, but we in the Java community have often asked, does it perform over time? The Java Virtual Machine is...
JHipster Community Survey Results
This post is syndicated from the JHipster community blog on dev.to. The Okta DevRel team thought you’d find it insightful. Okta is the platinum sponsor of the JHipster project. Several weeks ago, we launched the JHipster Community Survey. The goal was to get feedback from the community about the most useful features and components, things that are missing, and where we should focus our attention to make the project even better for everyone. We got...
Build REST APIs and Native Java Apps with Helidon
Project Helidon is a set of Java libraries for writing microservices. It’s an open source, Apache 2.0-licensed, Oracle-sponsored project and contains support for MicroProfile as well as a reactive, functional API. Helidon’s two different styles are known as Helidon MP and SE, respectively. The helidon.io website says: Since Helidon is simply a collection of Java libraries running on a fast Netty core, there is no extra overhead or bloat. Today, I’m going to put this...
Build Native Java Apps with Micronaut, Quarkus, and Spring Boot
Java has been able to invoke native programs on an operating system for decades. Invoking native programs is often done using JNI (Java Native Interface) and JNA (Java Native Access). In the last few years, Java has also gained the ability to run JVM apps as native apps. That is, they’re binary executables that have no dependency on the Java runtime. This is huge! Mostly because it gives Java apps the ability to start up...
Watch GraalVM Turn Your Java Into Binaries
There has been much buzz about GraalVM and what it means for the Java world. GraalVM is a Java distribution from Oracle that adds a bunch of features, most notably a new JIT compiler, polyglot capabilities, an LLVM runtime… and the ability to turn your Java application into a native binary. This last one offers the potential to distribute Java applications as a single binary, and a few frameworks like Quarkus, Helidon, and Micronaut already...
