Efficient Microservices with Oracle GraalVM Enterprise

on YouTube ↗48m

" summary

GraalVM Enterprise replaces the top-tier JIT to yield roughly a dozen percent speedup over Java 8 in modern benchmarks and shows ~6% year-over-year compiler gains; its native-image AOT builds cut startup to milliseconds and memory to single-digit megabytes (example: a Spring app compiled to ~19 MB), but JIT overtakes AOT at very high total-request counts; tooling includes the native-image agent, UPX compression (large size reductions), and integrations with Quarkus, Micronaut, Spring Native and OCI support.
