Spring Kafka - GraalVM native executable demo

This repository demonstrates how to transform a Spring Boot Kafka application to native executable using GraalVM.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Docker

Usage

1. Create native image of demo application

./gradlew bootBuildImage

*** Occasionally You may see the following error: Error: Image building with exit status 137.This error occurs if the system runs out of ram, in order to fix this increase Docker memory e.g 10GB

2. Start Docker containers

cd docker
docker compose up -d

3. Check if all containers are up and running

docker compose ps

# NAME                 SERVICE              STATUS              PORTS
# akhq                 akhq                 running             0.0.0.0:8080->8080/tcp, :::8080->8080/tcp
# kafka                kafka                running             0.0.0.0:9092->9092/tcp, :::9092->9092/tcp, 0.0.0.0:9101->9101/tcp, :::9101->9101/tcp
# schema-registry      schema-registry      running             0.0.0.0:8081->8081/tcp, :::8081->8081/tcp
# spring-native-demo   spring-native-demo   running             0.0.0.0:7777->7777/tcp, :::7777->7777/tcp
# zookeeper            zookeeper            running             0.0.0.0:2181->2181/tcp, :::2181->2181/tcp, 2888/tcp, 3888/tcp

4. Verify that messages are produced/consumed correctly.

docker compose logs -f spring-native-demo

# spring-native-demo  | 2021-07-07 17:46:28.155  INFO 1 --- [   scheduling-1] c.r.app.customers.RandomEventGenerator   : Successfully sent CustomerCreated event {"eid": "5178e6bf-c241-45bc-9e1b-90a789ec328c", "userId": "9958e080-bafc-4f84-b4c0-f1ee180a3db3", "email": "[e-mail]", "name": "Name adb925cc-aa8e-4be1-be21-7f71c0d0aa0a"}
# spring-native-demo  | 2021-07-07 17:46:28.158  INFO 1 --- [-StreamThread-1] c.r.app.customers.CustomerEventsKStream  : Consumed customer event {"eid": "5178e6bf-c241-45bc-9e1b-90a789ec328c", "userId": "9958e080-bafc-4f84-b4c0-f1ee180a3db3", "email": "[e-mail]", "name": "Name adb925cc-aa8e-4be1-be21-7f71c0d0aa0a"}.
# spring-native-demo  | 2021-07-07 17:46:28.158  INFO 1 --- [ntainer#0-0-C-1] c.r.app.customers.CustomerEventListener  : Received CustomerCreated event -> {"eid": "5178e6bf-c241-45bc-9e1b-90a789ec328c", "userId": "9958e080-bafc-4f84-b4c0-f1ee180a3db3", "email": "[e-mail]", "name": "Name adb925cc-aa8e-4be1-be21-7f71c0d0aa0a"}

5. Stop demo application

docker compose stop spring-native-demo

6. Start demo application

docker compose start spring-native-demo

7. Investigate application startup time

docker compose logs spring-native-demo | grep "Started NativeApplication"

# spring-native-demo  | 2021-07-07 18:02:34.108  INFO 1 --- [           main] com.rbiedrawa.app.NativeApplication      : Started NativeApplication in 0.152 seconds (JVM running for 0.156)
# spring-native-demo  | 2021-07-07 18:03:35.373  INFO 1 --- [           main] com.rbiedrawa.app.NativeApplication      : Started NativeApplication in 0.127 seconds (JVM running for 0.13)

8. Destroy demo infrastructure

When you're done, stop Docker containers by running.

docker compose down -v
