GraalVM is a virtual machine for seamless interoperability and polyglot language compilation that offers highly optimized runtime executable binaries, speeding the application startup and reducing memory consumption ideal for microservices, serverless, and cloud workloads in general. Any source code running on the Java Hotspot VM can also run on the GraalVM. Native Images - What? Native Image is a technology by which a java code is compiled ahead of time in...
