Ever tried developing Java applications in containers?
Of course not. You're a sensible person.
From a small footprint to a super-fast spin-up time, the reality of containers is a far cry from the reality of an OpenJDK binary execution.
So how do we bring these two disparate visions closer together?
Simple! We jlink the required JDK modules to generate a smaller footprint, then leverage alternate JVMs for performant startup!
I promise, the reality is simpler than that sentence. :)
Drop by and see what I mean.
