About:
GraalVM is a high-performance JDK from Oracle that accelerates Java and other JVM languages using just-in-time (JIT) and ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation. It enables creation of native executables via GraalVM Native Image for fast startup and low memory footprint. The platform also provides advanced tools for profiling, monitoring, and language interoperability.
Key Features:
  • GraalVM Native Image for AOT compilation
  • High-performance JIT compiler
  • Polyglot runtime (Java, JavaScript, Python, R, Ruby, LLVM)
  • Tracing and profiling tools (VisualVM, Chrome Inspector)
Use Cases:
  • Building cloud-native microservices with instant startup
  • Creating CLI tools with native binaries
  • Polyglot applications combining multiple languages
Alternatives:
  • Temurin (Eclipse Adoptium) – Standard OpenJDK builds without native image or polyglot features
  • Microsoft Build of OpenJDK – OpenJDK distribution focused on Azure and Windows; lacks GraalVM's AOT and polyglot capabilities
