Hi Christoph Dreis - interesting, it seems to have grown quite a bit. Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be anything standing out that would be both pratical for typical use and having anything more than a small dent of impact.

I’m afraid we’ll have to close this as it’s not really actionable - if you have good ideas please feel free to reopen.

If size and bandwith are very important to your team, did you consider compiling your application into a GraalVM native-image? We worked closely with the GraalVM and Quarkus teams to make this relatively easy; one nice effect of the Quarkus design is that each component that your application isn’t going to use is automatically stripped out (for example, if you’re using the PostgreSQL Dialect, all other dialects are deleted - and the same for all other configurable components, and this has a chain-reaction effect to the dependencies of each removed class).
