It is designed to avoid reflection, thus reducing memory consumption and improving start times.[3][4] Features which would typically be implemented at run-time are instead pre-computed at compile time.[5][6]

It was created by Graeme Rocher, who also created the Grails framework. In June 2020, Rocher co-founded the Micronaut Foundation, which aims to "advance innovation and adoption of Micronaut".[7] Micronaut is continually developed and maintained by Object Computing Inc.[5]
