Micronaut 1.1 RC1 Released

The Micronaut Team at Object Computing, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of Micronaut 1.1 RC1.

Micronaut 1.1 includes a number of significant refinements since Micronaut’s groundbreaking 1.0 release including:

• Support for GRPC
• Support for GraphQL
• Support for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Stackdriver Trace for distributed tracing.
• Message-Driven Microservices with RabbitMQ
• A new BeanIntrospection API for reflection-free Bean introspection
• Support for AWS API Gateway and GraalVM Custom Runtime
• AWS Alexa Lambda support
• Native File Watch and Fast Server Restart
• New test templates for Micronaut Test
• Even faster cold start time and performance optimizations
• … and many more features and refinements

In addition, Micronaut 1.1 RC1 includes massive improvements to support creating GraalVM native images including:

• Framework Improvements. Framework-level dynamic classloading and reflection has been completely removed, making it easier to get applications running on GraalVM native-image and reducing the number of customizations necessary.
• Build Time Reflection Data. Thanks to the aforementioned feature, the remaining reflective cases needed for third-party libraries have been replaced by build-time generation of reflection-config.json for classes that do require it.
• Simplified Image Generation. You can now generate a native image with just native-image --class-path myjar.jar without any additional flags; Micronaut now computes the appropriate GraalVM configuration at compilation time.

I will be talking about Micronaut and these new features at Greach 2019 in Madrid, followed by Oracle Code Rome. See you there!
