GraalVM features
Every new GraalVM release enables developers to use the native executables to deploy microservices with faster startup and achieve immediate peak performance on par with performance that can be achieved with OpenJDK.
GraalVM entitlement with Java SE Universal Subscription makes it even easier to access this technology
Built on proven Oracle Java, GraalVM provides significant performance benefits for many Java applications. GraalVM critical patch update releases include all Oracle Java SE critical patch updates to safeguard against known vulnerabilities.
Advanced optimizing just-in-time compiler
GraalVM’s high performance optimizing compiler accelerates application performance by up to 55% without any code changes. Applications run faster and scale better with reduced CPU and memory requirements.
Native Image ahead-of-time compilation
GraalVM Native Image utility compiles Java and Java bytecode-based applications into native binary executables that can run directly without a Java virtual machine. Native Image binaries provide near-instantaneous startup , have a small memory footprint, and deliver peak performance with zero warm-up time. GraalVM is supported by all the major microservices frameworks including Helidon, Micronaut, Quarkus, and Spring Boot.
Polyglot support
GraalVM provides high performance runtime support for a number of languages beyond Java along with the ability to have different languages and libraries interoperate with no performance penalty. Improves developer productivity by letting them use the right language or library for a given task.
Dedicated GraalVM support
GraalVM Subscription ensures around-the-clock Oracle Premier Support and complete access to performance, stability, and security updates. Oracle GraalVM licensing and support is included in Oracle Cloud subscriptions.
