Spring Native

This project has been configured to let you generate either a lightweight container or a native executable.

Lightweight Container with Cloud Native Buildpacks

If you're already familiar with Spring Boot container images support, this is the easiest way to get started with Spring Native. Docker should be installed and configured on your machine prior to creating the image, see the Getting Started section of the reference guide.

To create the image, run the following goal:

$ ./gradlew bootBuildImage

Then, you can run the app like any other container:

$ docker run --rm getfit:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT

Executable with Native Build Tools

Use this option if you want to explore more options such as running your tests in a native image. The GraalVM native-image compiler should be installed and configured on your machine, see the Getting Started section of the reference guide.

To create the executable, run the following goal:

$ ./gradlew nativeBuild

Then, you can run the app as follows:

$ build/native-image/getfit
