Current Development Activities

Discussion around Micronaut / Grails Beans in a project and how they integrate with each other

• Sergio: Two beans appear to be created for Micronaut Beans in Grails applications
  • This was realized while working on this guide: https://github.com/grails-guides/grails-micronaut-kafka
• Team discussed lack of documentation around how Micronaut and Grails integrate now
  • Team decided that we should create documentation around how the integration between Grails and Micronaut
  • Team decided that better integration with Micronaut should be a major focus of Grails 6
