The road to Native Images – what can trip me up?

Описание: Native Images are the next chapter of Spring’s innovation journey in the K8s world. Can Spring Native with GraalVM make the migration to native images seamless? Is there anything that could potentially trip us up? What do we need to know when migrating apps to native? Can we learn to write better Java code in the process?

Let’s answer these questions by looking into:
How does Just-in-time vs Ahead-of-time compilation compare?
Understanding Runtime vs Build-Time Class Initialization for Spring Native Images
Ahead-of-time compilation limitations - what do I need to know and how is Spring Native helping me to mitigate them?
What's working differently for some of the Java’s features in Native Images?
Can we learn to write better Java code in the process?
