Maximizing Java Application Performance with GraalVM

on YouTube ↗20m

" summary

GraalVM replaces the top-tier JIT with the Graal JIT or compiles ahead-of-time with native-image (closed-world assumption) to produce platform binaries. Renaissance benchmarks show about ~30% average speedup over OpenJDK JIT in tested suites. Demo compares Objects.hash abstract code performing as fast as hand-optimized code, and a Micronaut app that runs on the full JDK in ~0.5s using ~400 MB becomes a 60 MB native binary with 22 ms startup, 47 MB RAM.
