Hey, Sorry for using a issue as question. Trying to find information regarding the difference between non-native and native docker image but couldn't find it, So just wondering what the difference are? :D

Hi @emilpriver In a nutshell, non-native is a JAR file running within JVM process and native is a standalone binary created using GraalVM platform. The main benefit of the native image is the faster start up time, which is vital for testing (for example if you use Testcontainers), when the server must be restarted after each test.
