The latest GraalVM release brings major improvements for easy migration, even higher performance, and better developer experience. In this session, we’ll look at what’s new in GraalVM 25, how it helps build faster and more secure native executables, and what’s coming next.

Some of the new features we will cover:
– Easy migration with ` -H:Preserve`
– ML for high performance out of the box
– Performance profiling
– Security by default
– New tools

We’ll also take a sneak peek at Project Crema, which will lift native compilation’s default closed-world assumption by allowing dynamic loading and execution of classes at run time.
