Spring Native provides beta support for compiling Spring applications to native executables using GraalVM native-image compiler, in order to provide a native deployment option typically designed to be packaged in lightweight containers. In practice, the target is to support your Spring Boot application , almost unmodified, on this new platform.
Quick start
The easiest way to start with Spring Native is probably to go to start.spring.io, add the Spring Native dependency, and read the reference documentation. Make sure to configure properly the Spring AOT Maven and Gradle plugins that are mandatory to get proper native support for your Spring application.
