Create a GraalVM Docker Image

Date: 2024-03-07

This article explains how to create a Docker image for a GraalVM native image. GraalVM's Ahead-of-Time (AOT) compiler creates smaller, faster Java executables that don't need a Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler. Docker containerizes this executable, ensuring consistent execution across platforms. The article provides commands to compile a simple Java program into a native image using GraalVM's native-image tool and then build a Docker image from it. This process results in a highly optimized, deployable application. Read more: https://examples.javacodegeeks.com/create-a-java-graalvm-docker-image/
