The native Netty transports add features specific to a particular platform, generate less garbage, and generally improve performance when compared to the NIO based transport.

To enable native transports first add a necessarily dependency:

For macOS:

runtime("io.netty:netty-transport-native-kqueue:osx-x86_64")

For Linux:

Then configure the default event loop group to prefer native transports:

micronaut:
    netty:
            default:
