⏩ Going native with Spring Boot on Mac M1

👉 Intro

I recently saw a great Spring blog post about Building Native Images with GraalVM and Spring Native on Apple's M1 Architecture.

In the same time we are investigating on porting some of our (innovation dedicated) existing Spring Boot based APIs to Spring Native, see related content :

As one of our developers works on an Mac M1, we wanted to give it a try to see what would happen.

This short blog post is about that short experimentation.

Finally we could enjoy the full and smooth cli based experience :

  1. Setup Java runtime with GraalVM 22.0.0 with sdkman
  2. Build & Install native image (and see resources used : time & memory)
  3. Boot the API (0.4s.)
  4. Perform a first REST query (0.007 s.) with httpie
  5. Perform a second REST query (0.003 s.)

Let the show begin :
