Is anybody here using Graal Native Images in production? I'm interested in it, but it seems like it's too "alpha" to be used for anything real yet.

  Twitter was already using it in 2019. https://jeeconf.com/program/performance-tuning-twitter-services-with-graalvm-and-machine-learning/ https://jeeconf.com/program/performance-tuning-twitter-servi...

    The parent poster is specifically asking about native images, which Twitter doesn't use.

      In that case, from Red-Hat, https://www.redhat.com/en/topics/cloud-native-apps/what-is-quarkus https://www.redhat.com/en/topics/cloud-native-apps/what-is-q... https://quarkus.io/guides/building-native-image https://quarkus.io/guides/building-native-image

        Or use Spring Native (in beta) https://docs.spring.io/spring-native/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/ https://docs.spring.io/spring-native/docs/current/reference/...

  I've used native-image both directly and indirectly. Directly to implement a Clojure-language authentication server which needed a small memory footprint. Indirectly through @borkdude's https://github.com/babashka/babashka https://github.com/babashka/babashka which provides a native-image binary that can run much of the Clojure language. We open-sourced some babashka code at https://github.com/staticweb-io/staticweb-open-wp/tree/master/static-wp-daemon/src/io/staticweb/static_wp_daemon https://github.com/staticweb-io/staticweb-open-wp/tree/maste... One major caveat: when I wrote that code, babashka didn't have any MySQL support, so I shelled out to the MySQL CLI. Later, I figured out how to compile the MySQL JDBC drivers with native-image and it's now available at https://github.com/babashka/babashka-sql-pods https://github.com/babashka/babashka-sql-pods along with HSQLDB, SQL Server, Oracle, and Postgres drivers.
