GraalVM

Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition has been used by our organization since 2019 across our Oracle department. GraalVM benefits us in writing an application that supports multiple programming languages resulting in accruing high performance and fast compilation. The developers were able to utilize the product to a greater extent and gain maximum advantage out of it.

GraalVM is an ecosystem with multiplicative value-add. Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition was used in my previous working department at the project level. By enabling interoperability and eliminating the gaps between various programming languages in a shared runtime and high-performance, GraalVM has proved to be very highly effective from the delivery perspective for all our developers.

GraalVM is an elevated performance runtime that delivers substantial improvements in the performance of the application. Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition is being used in our Product Department at the project level. It eliminates the gaps between programming languages and enables interoperability in a shared runtime. It has proved to be highly efficient for our developers from the delivery point of view.

GraalVM is a production-ready software and is available as Community Edition for an open-source license.
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.

We are experimenting to use GraalVM in the context of serverless framework usage. The core issues that it addresses are image size and process start-up time, especially in the cold start scenarios. Another area of interest is in densification of the container images that we run on container clusters to save overall cost.

GraalVM is used in my organization for streamlining JAVA applications and efficient testing of code. It has provided faster startup and no interpreted code as well. It has given a low memory footprint in the use cases. Its native and bright future of performance is also a great advantage. No profiling data required now for JIT optimizations.

GraalVM is used for delivering services to many clients in our organization. It is very helpful as it has the capability to be embedded in the native applications as well as managed applications. Integrations are seamless with pre-defined formats for Oracle database, OpenJDK, MYSQL, and Node.js which makes the integration process very fast. It is also compatible with the latest Java 11 release, and it is very handy for developers, like me, who are frequently using the latest Java version to take the benefits of the latest features. Its compile time is very fast and has an optimized JIT compiler.
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.

We're using GraalVM to consolidate the set of VM and SDK we're going to use after the Oracle License changes regarding JVM/JDK distribution. This enables us to consolidate and manage the standard VM platform. This was starting to work a few years ago but in 2019 is when we really ramped up and now we have a stable and consistent strategy and processes.

GraalVM is still in the early stages of product investigation. Engineers are using it for R&D projects and getting familiar with how it can be used at a production level. It will address performance issues for our applications, notably startup times and artifact size.

We use GraalVM for optimization for the code, making it portable and efficient for execution in high-performance requirements. Using it in some of the real-time and near real-time application scenarios where fast throughput is one of the key requirements from the business side. Optimizing compute resources to save IaaS cost and ingress and egress cost.

We're using GraalVM for Minecraft servers. We use it on every server we have. Since we started using GraalVM we recognized better performance incorporation with a modified Minecraft server jar. Also we're having a smaller RAM and CPU usage. Most of us are also using it on our private windows machines, and java processes are faster there too.
