Scala provider sbt graal native image support #790

Open yzia2000 opened 1 year ago

yzia2000 commented 1 year ago

Feature request

Currently the scala sbt provider produces a jvm image. It would be nice to also have support to produce graal vm images.

Maybe an environment variable like USE_NATIVE_IMAGE can be used here.

Motivation

Graal has a much smaller binary foot print and does not require jvm in the running image. This can result in significantly smaller image sizes.

Graal is also faster and less memory consuming for some workloads.

Contribution

Will post a PR for this.

We should probably wait for this to resolve https://github.com/railwayapp/nixpacks/issues/788
