Overall Satisfaction with GraalVM

Exploring GraalVM for microservices-based, cloud native applications and serverless applications
  • Polyglot vm
  • Reduced memory footprint
  • Fast startup times
  • Not always optimal native code (JIT sometimes is faster)
  • Microservices support
  • Hard to profile
  • Faster startup times and reduced memory footprint positively impacts serverless experience and serverless costs.
  • Polyglot capabilities of GraalVM provides higher flexibility for development teams
GraalVM startup times and memory footprint is unbeatable. Polyglot capability provides greater flexibility and faster development times.
Have no experience with enterprise support. Documentation is outdated sometimes and could be better overall. GraalVM community is growing and responsive, still not as mature, but helpful and active.
