Clojure native-image on GraalVM containerized

This is a small experiment of running a clojure project on GraalVM container using native-image. Compare to the similar app using Golang https://github.com/sher/graal-clojure/blob/master/convey_api/alter.go

Goods

• Container startup time improved significantly, compared to JVM container

Not so goods

• There are limitations using native-image like class reflections etc.
  • upd: situation seems to have improved since I tried it https://www.graalvm.org/22.0/reference-manual/native-image/Reflection/

Things to try next

• PGO https://www.graalvm.org/22.0/reference-manual/native-image/PGO/
