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."

Graal Development Kit (GDK) for Micronaut 4.9.1 is a curated Oracle distribution of Micronaut framework modules 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, supports Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, and includes VS Code and IntelliJ extensions, a CLI, and a web-based Launcher. Select GDK releases are designated Long-Term Support (LTS) with free critical backports for at least 12 months; 4.9.1 is a non-LTS release and will be superseded by the 4.10 LTS. Native Image compilation enables instant startup, peak performance, and reduced memory usage, lowering compute costs.
