Although the term "Cloud Native" in the context of Java has been repeated ad nauseam for years, the JVM as a platform has only recently entered a phase where everything truly aligns with how cloud-native architectures are designed. Let's trace the path Java has already taken in recent years and take a look at what lies ahead in the future. During this presentation, you will learn about projects such as Leyden, CRaC, and GraalVM, and how they can realistically influence the way applications are developed.

Target Audience: Cloud Java Architectural Leads
Prerequisites: Basic Knowledge od Java, Cloud Challenges Experience
Level: Advanced

Extended Abstract:
The goal of the presentation is to provide a comprehensive overview of the evolution of Java in relation to cloud-native architectures. The presentation aims to educate the audience about the progress Java has made in recent years and shed light on the future prospects of the language.
By discussing key projects like Leyden, CRaC, Microprofile and GraalVM, the presentation intends to demonstrate their relevance and potential impact on application development. Ultimately, the goal is to inspire the audience to embrace cloud-native principles in their Java projects and adapt their development practices accordingly.
