Faster Development with Java, Python, and Micronaut

The Java platform has always been about performance, reliability, and a rich developer ecosystem. But what if those same capabilities could become the foundation for building modern polyglot applications?

In this session, we'll unveil a new pre-compiled, pre-optimized Micronaut runtime built on GraalVM that delivers fast startup, low memory footprint, and a consistent programming model across Java, Kotlin, Python, and other Micronaut-supported languages.

Unlike approaches that require expensive native image builds before you see the benefits, this runtime is pre-compiled ahead of time, keeping the developer feedback loop fast. Make a source change, restart, and you're back in milliseconds—while still taking advantage of GraalVM's performance and native deployment capabilities when you're ready for production.

You'll see how Micronaut's dependency injection, configuration, testing, observability, and cloud-native features extend naturally across languages, enabling polyglot applications without sacrificing operational consistency. We'll also explore why this architecture is an ideal fit for AI-powered systems, combining Java's production strengths with the flexibility of Python where it makes sense.

If you're interested in the future of Java, GraalVM, cloud-native runtimes, and the next generation of polyglot application development, this session offers an early look at what's coming next.
