Introduction to the Micronaut Framework: Building Ultra-Lightweight Microservices
The Micronaut framework is a brand new, open source, JVM-based toolkit for building full-stack, modular, easily testable microservice and serverless applications.
Unlike reflection-based IoC frameworks which load and cache reflection data for every single field, method, and constructor in your code, with the Micronaut framework, your application startup time and memory consumption are not bound to the size of your codebase.
The Micronaut framework’s cloud support is built right in, including support for common discovery services, distributed tracing tools, and cloud runtimes.
In this talk, Graeme introduces the framework and demonstrates how you can take your microservices to the next level with the Micronaut framework’s ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation and Oracle’s GraalVM to achieve instant startup with an astonishingly lean memory footprint.
