It's interesting that (yet again) the graalvm configuration turns out to be a big problem WRT to reflection etc, and I think it kind of vindicates our approach of having zero reflection in the http4k core which means you do no config at all.

The first image that Adam uses in that demo was 200mb - presumably because he was building an entire JDK runtime in a docker image - normally you'd be using just a ZIP file with some Java in it. The equivalent http4k version with our non-Jackson runtime would be about 30mb standalone - and just 4mb if you just used a standard ZIP file, The final GraalVM image was about the same size as the http4k one would be with our custom http4k Lambda runtime. (which still isn't documented btw, which is why we haven't made more noise about it)
