# Spring Boot 3 Native GraalVM AOT Compilation

Configures Spring Boot 3: Ahead-Of-Time (AOT) engine, configuring native hints (RuntimeHintsRegistrar), building native images with GraalVM Native Build Tools, reducing startup time to 30ms, and dropping RAM footprint to 40MB.

## When to Invoke
Invoke this skill whenever you need to:
- compile spring boot native image
- graalvm native build tools spring
- runtimehints spring boot 3

## Execution SOP & Rules
1. Add org.graalvm.buildtools.native plugin to pom.xml or build.gradle.
2. Register reflection hints for third-party libraries: class CustomHints implements RuntimeHintsRegistrar { ... }.
3. Build native executable: ./mvnw native:compile -Pnative or ./gradlew nativeCompile.
4. Run native executable directly: ./target/my-service with near-zero memory overhead.

## Verification Checklist
- Run local linting, syntax validation, and type-checks before reporting completion.
- Ensure all created or modified files adhere to workspace boundaries and avoid uncommitted secrets.
- Verify tests or build commands exit cleanly with return code 0.
