Overall Satisfaction with GraalVM
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.
Pros
- Open source
- Faster and efficient program execution.
- Multilingual virtual machine.
Cons
- No JMX, JFR support.
- No thread dump or heap dump support.
- Using bigger heaps can badly impact latency.
- Profitability
- Cost effective due to optimized memory / CPU usage.
- Satisfaction of developers.
The advantages of GraalVM over other products are as follows:
1. All the languages share the same VM and its capabilities. Provides language-independent tooling interoperability optimization.
2. It has a very reduced memory footprint.
3. GraalVM native image has the following advantages like: no classloading, no interpreted code, no burnt CPU for profiling, and JIT-ing.
