Kotless version 0.1.7-beta-4 was released. It is a beta version with an experimental support of GraalVM.

You can start using GraalVM in your Ktor projects just by specifying runtime = Runtime.GraalVM. Kotless will do everything for you -- compile application, add custom runtime and so on. See more about it at https://github.com/JetBrains/kotless#beta-release

GraalVM reduces cold-start time by 200-400x, for example initialization of Ktor Site application now takes about 3ms. Basically, in a lot of cases GraalVM fully solves the problem of cold-starts

Note, that GraalVM support was implemented via separate io.kcdk plugin. We are planning to improve it, e.g. we will add support of default reflection profiles making possible usage of Spring and popular libraries
