+
+Quarkus native executables offer many benefits such as even faster start-up time and low footprint.
+However, one major drawback is that such native binaries can be less observable.
+The good news is that you can still use JDK Flight Recorder (JFR) when running your Quarkus applications as native executables.
+
+Native executable JFR is still limited compared to regular JFR in the JVM.
+However, major improvements have been made over the past couple of years that make it a very powerful tool to profile and monitor your native executables.
+
+Check out these recent articles to find out more about how you can start using JFR with native executables:
