This project is exercising Spring Features from the application point of view (the other samples typically exercise them via picking up dependencies containing them).

To build and run the native application packaged in a lightweight container:

mvn spring-boot:build-image
docker-compose up

As an alternative, you can use build.sh (with a local GraalVM installation or combined with run-dev-container.sh at the root of spring-native project). See also the related issue Take advantage of Paketo dev-oriented images.
