The Magic of Native Image

The magic behind native image is that it analyzes and compiles your application ahead of time. It will only pack the things that are actually needed in your application, but for your application to execute. You don't no longer need a JVM to run it, right? So you can just execute it as this. And there's a few use cases for this that I think are really interesting. One is serverless. That's my word where I've been building my serverless applications with auto scaling - they need to be able to start up instantly.
