Graal Development Kit (GDK) is a curated set of open source Micronaut® framework modules designed from the ground up to be compiled ahead-of-time with GraalVM Native Image resulting in native executables ideal for microservices. With GDK, you can build portable cloud-native Java microservices that start instantly and use fewer resources to reduce compute costs.
You can use GDK by generating an application using either the Launcher on the GDK website or install the CLI using the package managers below:
