Introduction to Micronaut - Lightweight Microservices with Ahead of Time Compilation

Explore the newly released Micronaut framework in this conference talk by its creator, Graeme Rocher. Discover how Micronaut's unique compile-time approach enables the development of ultra-lightweight microservices for Java. Learn about the framework's compelling features, including subsecond startup time, small processes running in as little as 10 MB of JVM heap, no runtime reflection, dependency injection, AOP, and cloud-native capabilities. Witness demonstrations of how to take microservices to the next level using Micronaut's Ahead of Time Compilation (AOT) support and Oracle's GraalVM to achieve instant startup and ultra-low memory footprint. Gain insights from Rocher's extensive experience in software development, particularly in Grails, Groovy, Web Development, Dynamic Languages, and the JVM.
