" summary

Compares JIT versus ahead‑of‑time compilation with GraalVM Native Image and shows practical builds using Maven/Gradle plugins, tracing agent and profile‑guided optimizations; example native build takes ~2m35s and produces an ~82 MB Linux binary (heap snapshot ~30 MB), starts in ~25 ms versus ~621 ms on the JVM (~25× faster), and cuts runtime memory roughly 50% (200 MB → <100 MB); throughput stays ~33–35k RPS; also demonstrates container images shrunk to ~19.4 MB.
