Reassessing Native Compilation for Jakarta EE Applications – A Pragmatic Perspective

Cloud & Microservices

Java’s Ahead-of-Time (AOT) native compilation, as seen in frameworks like GraalVM, boasts rapid startup times and lower memory usage. However, for Jakarta EE application developers, the practical benefits of these advantages often don’t translate into substantial economic or technical gains. This leads to questioning the viability of investing resources into adapting existing Jakarta EE applications for GraalVM compatibility.

The journey from traditional JVM-based Java applications to native Java through GraalVM’s AOT compilation presents a landscape filled with both opportunities and challenges. While the allure of improved startup times and reduced memory usage is undeniable, it’s crucial for you as a Jakarta EE developer to assess the real-world applicability of these benefits. The decision to transition should be guided by a balanced understanding of one’s specific application needs, the operational environment, and the broader economic implications.

This guide – download here – is aimed at developers working with Jakarta EE applications who are exploring the possibility of native compilation. We’ll explore the practical implications of transitioning to GraalVM, assess the impact of cloud environments on AOT benefits, compare JVM optimizations with AOT, and finally, weigh the business relevance of native Java.
