I've found a combination of Spring Boot executable jar + a small jlink built JRE runtime packaged next to the executable jar works fairly well.

Our zipped distribution is 50mb. Uncompressed the executable is 26mb and the runtime is 75mb.

I'd love for it to be smaller but I can't complain. This also makes solving for Linux, macOS, and Windows pretty trivial. They each get their own zip with packaged runtime.

This seems to be about the sweet spot that I keep finding, although I normally work in clojure.
