About:
GraalVM is a high-performance JDK from Oracle designed to accelerate Java applications and enable polyglot programming. It allows developers to run code written in multiple languages like JavaScript, Python, and Ruby within the same Java Virtual Machine. Its standout feature, native image compilation, converts Java applications into standalone executables for instant startup and reduced memory footprint.
Key Features:
  • Ahead-of-Time Native Image compilation
  • Polyglot programming capabilities
  • High-performance runtime with advanced optimizations
  • SubstrateVM for reduced memory footprint
Use Cases:
  • Building cloud-native microservices with fast startup times
  • Creating command-line tools in Java with native binaries
  • Running polyglot applications combining Java with other languages
Alternatives:
  • Temurin (Eclipse Adoptium) – Standard OpenJDK distribution without GraalVM's advanced compilation features
  • Azul Zulu – Commercial OpenJDK build focused on stability and support, lacks native image capabilities
