Announcing Graal Dev Kit for Micronaut 4.9.1

"Graal Development Kit for Micronaut (GDK) is Oracle's distribution of a curated set of open source Micronaut® framework modules and their dependencies, built from source with build provenance attestation and a software bill of materials (SBOM) to improve security. The GDK is optimized for ahead-of-time compilation with GraalVM Native Image, and is fully supported on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. It also provides VS Code and IntelliJ extensions, a CLI and a web-based Launcher to accelerate application development and deployment."

"Select GDK releases (identified by a major.minor.patch version, such as 4.7.3) are designated as Long-Term Support (LTS) releases. These LTS releases receive free backports for critical fixes from Oracle for a minimum of 12 months from their initial release date, ensuring stability and continuity. The GDK 4.7.3.5 critical patch update further enhances the stability of the 4.7.3 LTS release. In contrast, the upstream Micronaut project continues to deliver new features and fixes in each major and minor release."

"Note that GDK 4.9.1 is a non-LTS release and will be superseded by GDK 4.10, the next scheduled LTS release. Fast and Efficient Micronaut with GraalVM Applications compiled with GraalVM Native Image start instantly, deliver peak performance without warmup, and have a low memory footprint. The charts below illustrate these advantages using the Micronaut MuShop Catalogue Service-a component of the MuShop demo, a cloud-native e-commerce application for cat products-as an example."
