About:
GraalVM JDK is a high-performance, polyglot JDK from Oracle that enables running applications written in multiple languages on a single runtime. It offers advanced features like native image compilation for instant startup and reduced memory footprint. This makes it ideal for building cloud-native and microservices-based applications.
Key Features:
  • Ahead-of-Time (AOT) compilation with Native Image
  • Polyglot capabilities (Java, JavaScript, Python, R, Ruby, etc.)
  • High-performance Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler
  • Reduced memory footprint and fast startup times
Use Cases:
  • Building serverless functions and microservices
  • Creating native executables for containerized deployments
  • Developing high-performance, low-latency applications
Alternatives:
  • Eclipse Temurin – Standard OpenJDK build, lacks GraalVM's native image and polyglot features
  • Azul Zulu – Another OpenJDK distribution focused on stability and support, not native compilation
