Mario Fusco discusses turning old Java rule engine projects into serverless components by refactoring them to run natively on GraalVM and integrate with Quarkus. He describes the limitations of ahead-of-time compilation with GraalVM, such as lack of dynamic classloading. He details refactoring Drools to use an executable model and removing dependencies on dynamic class definition. This allows Drools to natively compile on GraalVM. He also discusses integrating the refactored Drools with Quarkus.
