    Its well fit for the environment where applications are written in programming languages supported by GraalVM. It's [a] very powerful and reliable, high-performer Java Virtual Machine that provides the Java Development kit i.e JDK that has the ability to compile the Java apps ahead of time. Maintenance of this tool is simple and it [increases] the efficiency of the product since it requires few resources.

    Supernova is the best documentation platform on the market, having tested numerous alternatives, including the more popular zeroheight, Knapsack, etc. It's ideal for low-code solutions for brand guidelines and detailed component documentation. Their automated exporter pipelines are the icing on the cake, enabling them to pull what you see in Figma and push it directly into your codebase.

    Cons
    Oracle
    • It should be possible to use GraalVM EE to distribute native images of JavaFX applications for mobile platforms, especially for Apple platforms.
    • Native Images are a game changer. However, compiling complex applications can be a pain. Better support for an improved transition process are a must.

    It is occasionally buggy, but nowhere near as buggy as zeroheight.

    Like all Oracle tools, you can find a lot of documentation and also write down your questions in a forum. Sadly I don't see too many users so far but I hope it'll keep increasing and in a short period we will have more information and ofc issues fixed. So far, everything I needed I could find easily.

    GraalVM is at the top when it comes to executing Java applications in terms of speed. With its amazing fast ahead of its time compiler it helps in reducing the startup time of the applications. Also, the overall performance of the product is increased and reduces the latency as well. It supports multiple languages such as Groovy, Ruby, Javascript, R, Python, Scala, Java, Clojure, and many more.

    Supernova has best-in-class customer service. Our Figma library is a huge file and was unable to automatically sync with most platforms (including Supernova) - of all three platforms we tried, Supernova was the only one that actively assigned engineers to our case and offered a solution within a couple of days. They've been great partners.

    Return on Investment
    Oracle
    • Financial: Increased Java container count on the same hardware.
    • Performance: Decreased cold start time for container startup.
    • Training: Adopting GraalVM has a learning curve. This requires investment in time and resources. The benefits come through re-evaluating our current deployments for optimization.
