+## GraalVM Native Support
+
+This project has been configured to let you generate either a lightweight container or a native executable.
+It is also possible to run your tests in a native image.
+
+### Lightweight Container with Cloud Native Buildpacks
+If you're already familiar with Spring Boot container images support, this is the easiest way to get started.
+Docker should be installed and configured on your machine prior to creating the image.
+
+To create the image, run the following goal:
+
+```
+$ ./gradlew bootBuildImage
+```
+
+Then, you can run the app like any other container:
+
+```
+$ docker run --rm omnibus:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
+```
+
+### Executable with Native Build Tools
+Use this option if you want to explore more options such as running your tests in a native image.
+The GraalVM `native-image` compiler should be installed and configured on your machine.
+
+NOTE: GraalVM 22.3+ is required.
+
+To create the executable, run the following goal:
+
+```
+$ ./gradlew nativeCompile
+```
+
+Then, you can run the app as follows:
+```
+$ build/native/nativeCompile/omnibus
+```
+
+You can also run your existing tests suite in a native image.
+This is an efficient way to validate the compatibility of your application.
+
+To run your existing tests in a native image, run the following goal:
+
+```
+$ ./gradlew nativeTest
+```
