GraalVM continues to expand what developers can expect from their applications: high performance, fast startup, lower resource consumption, stronger security, and compact deployments.

In this session, we will look at the most interesting changes introduced in recent GraalVM releases. These include improvements that make existing applications easier to move to Native Image, reduce the amount of manual configuration, improve performance and memory usage across platforms, and extend tooling for profiling and troubleshooting.

We will also look at forward-looking projects, including dynamic class loading and runtime compilation in Native Image, Native Image Layers, and new approaches to polyglot execution and isolation.

The goal of the session is to provide a practical overview of what is available now, what has changed since GraalVM 25, and what you can expect from upcoming releases.
