Session abstract

GraalVM Native Image allows you to transform your application into a standalone platform executable, offering significant performance benefits for production environments. However, it also introduces unique challenges, especially when it comes to debugging.

In this session, we’ll focus on the tools and workflows for debugging GraalVM Native Images, with a particular emphasis on how your IDE can simplify and enhance this experience. You’ll learn about:

• The key differences between debugging JVM-based applications and native executables.
• How to generate and use debugging information tailored to native platform debuggers.
• IntelliJ IDEA’s latest tools and plugins designed to streamline the setup and debugging of GraalVM-specific scenarios.

See how modern IDE features can make working with GraalVM Native Images more efficient and developer-friendly. Don’t miss this opportunity to level up your debugging skills!

Asking questions

Dmitry and Anton will try to answer all of your questions during the session. If we run out of time, we’ll publish answers to any remaining questions in a follow-up blog post.
