Practical Python AI in Java with GraalPy - Sachin Pikle

This talk explores the integration of Python's capabilities within the Java ecosystem, particularly through tools like GraalPy, a high-performance, embeddable Python 3 runtime for Java. The speaker demonstrates how Java developers can seamlessly embed Python into their applications, install and manage Python packages using Maven or Gradle, and leverage Python libraries within Java interfaces. Attendees will see practical examples involving local inference, data processing, and visualization in Spring Boot and Micronaut applications. The session also covers the packaging of these polyglot applications as deployable JARs and discusses performance optimization using GraalVM Native Image.
