Charla introductoria a Micronaut y GrallVM para el PeruJUG

1. Micronaut + GraalVM
A match made in Cloud Native

3. Micronaut
• Desarrollado por Object Computing (OCI)
• Graeme Rocher (@GraemeRocher)
• Diseñado para desarrollar Microservicios

4. Features
• Compile time dependency injection.
• First class support for reactive programming
• Cloud Native
• Service Discovery (Consul, Kubernetes, Eureka)
• Distributed tracing (Zipkin, Jaeger)
• Serverless functions

5. Dependency Injection
• Micronaut builds its dependency injection data at compile
time.
• Fully supports JSR-330 annotations as well.

6. Persistence
• JDBC support
• JPA with Hibernate support
• MongoDB
• Neo4j
• Redis
• Cassandra

7. My thoughts
• Very good alternative to Spring Boot
• Simple, clean, small, lightweight.
• Programming model very familiar (Spring, CDI)
• Cloud Native ready!
• Ideal for microservices
• But… the JVM…

9. GraalVM
• OpenSource project at Oracle Labs
• Based in OpenJDK 8u
• Polyglot
• Native
• Embeddable

10. • GraalVM offers a comprehensive ecosystem supporting a
large set of languages (Java and other JVM-based
languages, JavaScript, Ruby, Python, R, and C/C++ and
other LLVM-based languages) and running them in different
deployment scenarios (OpenJDK, Node.js, MySQL, Oracle
Database, or standalone).

11. Java applications?
• GraalVM runs Java applications faster, on the OpenJDK.
• Ahead-of-time compilation for native images.
• Insane startup times, reduce memory footprint…
• Run scripting languages faster.

12. Performance as first class citizen
• GraalVM compiler can remove costly object allocations in
many scenarios
• http://www.graalvm.org/docs/examples/java-performance-examples/
• Better inlining and more aggressive speculative
optimizations can lead to additional benefits for complex
long-running applications
• https://www.graalvm.org/docs/examples/java-simple-stream-benchmark/

13. Native Image
• Running applications in the JVM implies the status and
footprint costs.
• GraalVM allow us to generate a native image without those
costs.
• The image generation process employs static analysis to
find any code reachable from the main Java method and
then performs full ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation
• The resulting native binary contains the whole program in
machine code form for its immediate execution.

14. GraalVM in the real world
• Twitter is running GraalVM for almost 2 years now.
• Twitter is also contributing.

15. Better together…
• Micronaut supports GraalVM Native Image generation.

16. Demo time…
