Can someone explain, do they ditch the project, or do they move it elsewhere? It's hard to understand from the announcement. I need to compile java to native binary to not have to install runtime on my servers for the small service I use.

It’s poorly worded. Graal and NI aren’t going anywhere. The wording is this:

“Native Image, is being discontinued for Java SE Product customers"

That means that it will no longer be included as a product for the OracleJdk that you would pay and subscribe to (which no sane person actually does).

Ah, I see. Another thing I would expect normal announcement to include is the command I need to run instead of graaldb
Also, why would they do that? I mean, I understand adding more languages, I understand stopping the project. But killing Java and adding other langs? Why?
