Hands-On Cloud-Native Applications with Java and Quarkus

Turning your application into a native executable

Now, it's time to check what Quarkus can do to turn our bytecode into a native executable. This kind of magic is done under the hood by a Maven profile named native, which is included out of the box when you scaffold your application:
