What is GraalVM?
It is a universal virtual machine for running applications written in JavaScript, Python, Ruby, R, JVM-based languages like Java, Scala, Groovy, Kotlin, Clojure, and LLVM-based languages such as C and C++. It removes the isolation between programming languages and enables interoperability in a shared runtime. It can run either standalone or in the context of OpenJDK, Node.js or Oracle Database.
GraalVM Community is available for free for any use.
GraalVM Enterprise provides additional performance, security, and scalability relevant for running applications in production. Users can get a version of GraalVM Enterprise that is free for evaluation and developing new applications via the Oracle Technology Network (OTN), or a commercially licensed version for production use via the Oracle Store.

GraalVM has the potential to shake up Java container deployments
At this point, I am very impressed. There was a learning curve to understand GraalVM, the polyglot features, and native-compiles. Pluralsight has a good fundamentals overview. The home site for GraalVM has a number of good "getting started" guides.
The areas that we are seeing major impacts in are software size, load time, and cold start time. These are critical benefits as we try to minimize the size of our containers and reduce cold-start time. The end result is more container services can be deployed with the same hardware. This could have a significant financial benefit over running code in a JVM.
We are also investigating the Polyglot features, such as running Node.js and Python in GraalVM. The ability to combine Java and Node.js could present some interesting features to combine the best of our libraries.
In my opinion, this product and technology will significantly improve the performance and footprint of Java-based containers to serverless containers, Kubernetes, and OpenShift.
- Reducing software cold start time
- AOT--Native compile, which removes the dependency on the JRE and JVM
- Reduces application size. Combining native-compile and EXE compression significantly reduces the size of our containers
- Native compiles. We have problems figuring out how to package jars with all dependencies for compilation. This might be our problem as we progress through the learning curve.
- More support and testing for Sprint and GraalVM.
- I recommend providing installer packages instead of downloading zip files.
- Reduced application size.
- Faster cold start, which improves HTTP request/response-based software.
- Native compiles dramatically simplifies building and deploying Java-based containers.
- Native compiles often significantly improves application performance.
GraalVM is the future

- Easy to use
- Excellent for micro services
- Some limitations on technology, e.g. reflection, but can be mitigated.
- Application runs faster
- Memory utilization is very low
- Cost-effective
- Not much improvement needed; the product suits our requirements.

GraalVM - Ultimate VM for Java Applications
Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition is being used in our department, and it has already proven to be highly beneficial and effective as it has been built to cater to enterprise-class application development on a global standard. It has shown significant improvements in application performance and efficiency due to its high-performance runtime.
- Multilingual Virtual Machine
- Run Programs Faster Anywhere
- Compiling applications ahead-of-time (AOT) into native Executable
- Can run either standalone or in the context of OpenJDK, Node.js or Oracle Database
- Lower Memory Footprint
- Compilation is not easy for all JVM code
1. Applications running in a regular just-in-time (JIT) compilation mode adding higher performance gains resulting from quality optimized algorithms.
2. Applications compiled ahead-of-time (AOT) into a native executable. It has the capability to run as a standalone application with instant startup having minimal memory footprint and minimal CPU utilization.
GraalVM Review
- Ahead-of-time compiled native images which start up faster
- Javascript application run on top of it without need for V8 engine.
- Java libraries can be accessed from other programming languages.
- JIT compiler makes a long-running server process run even faster as time passes with optimization at runtime. Lack of this feature makes GraalVM not suited for certain applications
- All the libraries are not easily available or compiled down to GraalVM binary. Manual Involvement is needed to make some libraries work. Reflection-based libraries specifically do not work.
- There are runtime surprises in some cases and increases support needs
GraalVM Review
- High performance and it acts as JIT compiler. Optimizations like partial escape help a lot since it is not available in standard JIT compilers.
- It helps in combining JAVASCRIPT, Java, and R
- Helps in running native languages on the JVM
- Helps in extension of JVM-Based application
- It is efficient for a smaller heap only as it impacts latency
- Generated native code is not fully efficient
- No thread dump and heap dump support
It is used to run the applications written in Kotlin, Python, Groovy, C++, and the interoperability is differentiated in the real-time shared runtime. We can also use the Native Image technology offered by GraalVM to compile the scripted applications well ahead of time before going into the binary code. The deployment and licensing costs approximately 25% less, reducing the overall cost.
- Performance is better because of latest compatibility with Java 11
- Standardized Software Development Kit and API design
- Multi language support to offer best services to international clients
- Supports all major programming languages
- Uses low memory
- Customer support can be improved
- Needs to support more integrations with micro services
With Oracle changing the JVM distribution license recently, GraalVM serves the purpose of managing the VM platform pretty efficiently. It is well suited for consistent process requirements. Since most of the companies depend heavily on Java for programming, GraalVM provides the best support for building Java applications and can be used for all products.
We can also mix programming languages in the same project, thus it removes the dependency of using a single programming language. This feature is provided by GraalVM and is known as "PolyGlot" apps.
- Fast startup
- Lower memory footprint
- Polyglot apps
- The name isn't so great.
- More broad community use.
