Building microservices architecture with GraalVM
GraalVM is ideal for microservices architecture as it helps to build high-performance Java applications with a smaller footprint. One of the most important requirements for microservices architecture is a smaller footprint and faster startup. GraalVM is an ideal runtime for running polyglot workloads in the cloud. There are some cloud-native frameworks already available on the market that can build applications to run optimally on GraalVM, including Quarkus, Micronaut, Helidon, and Spring.
Understanding GraalVM containers
Traditionally, applications are deployed on infrastructure that was pre-configured and set up for the applications to run. The infrastructure consisted of both hardware and a software platform that runs the applications. For example, if we have to run a web application, we will have to set up the operating system (such as Linux or Windows, for example) first. The web application server (Tomcat, WebSphere) and...
