Key benefits

  • Generate faster and leaner code with minimum computing resources for high performance
  • Compile Java applications faster than ever to a standalone executable called native images
  • Create high-performance polyglot applications that are compatible across various JVM and non-JVM languages

Description

GraalVM is a universal virtual machine that allows programmers to compile and run applications written in both JVM and non-JVM languages. It improves the performance and efficiency of applications, making it an ideal companion for cloud-native or microservices-based applications. This book is a hands-on guide, with step-by-step instructions on how to work with GraalVM. Starting with a quick introduction to the GraalVM architecture and how things work under the hood, you'll discover the performance benefits of running your Java applications on GraalVM. You'll then learn how to create native images and understand how AOT (ahead-of-time) can improve application performance significantly. The book covers examples of building polyglot applications that will help you explore the interoperability between languages running on the same VM. You'll also see how you can use the Truffle framework to implement any language of your choice to run optimally on GraalVM. By the end of this book, you'll not only have learned how GraalVM is beneficial in cloud-native and microservices development but also how to leverage its capabilities to create high-performing polyglot applications.

Who is this book for?

This book is for JVM developers looking to optimize their application's performance. You'll also find this book useful if you're a JVM developer looking to explore options to develop polyglot applications using tools from the Python, R, Ruby, or Node.js ecosystem. A solid understanding of software development concepts and prior experience working with programming languages is necessary to get started.

What you will learn

  • Gain a solid understanding of GraalVM and how it works under the hood
  • Work with GraalVM s high performance optimizing compiler and see how it can be used in both JIT (just-in-time) and AOT (ahead-of-time) modes
  • Get to grips with the various optimizations that GraalVM performs at runtime
  • Use advanced tools to analyze and diagnose performance issues in the code
  • Compile, embed, run, and interoperate between languages using Truffle on GraalVM
  • Build optimum microservices using popular frameworks such as Micronaut and Quarkus to create cloud-native applications

I had been looking in the market to get my hands on scenarios of how I can execute my new learned skills around Java along with earlier content written with Python in a universal virtual machine not having to change the compilers. Would like to happily share the feedback confirming was glad I decided to look into this book. Took a while to get my head around given it’s a new skill but the author has made it very easy for me to follow through with simple details not assuming people reading this book would already about quite a bit of basics already unlike what the author had tried to caution while starting up. The book is not just for experienced developers but also for those who with other programming skills want to expand onto Java, Ruby or Node.js and want to have a single compiler for all of your code set.That helped me feel confident about the flow and at each step was able to take advantage of both the screenshots for the installation along with the sample code published in Git Repository unlike some of the other books where the code is embedded within the book and you need to manually type in the code to get the samples going. The information provided around interoperability between JavaScript along with the other languages has been made easy to pick up with well defined examples and code samples provided.Am super glad I decided to buy this book and now have it as a reference guide for me to start exploring to more scaled up solutions to put together my use cases.

I received a copy of this book to review. I found it to provide a good and deep introduction to what GraalVM is, as well as good guidance on how to practically use GraalVM in polyglot and microservice architectures. For developers planning to make use of GraalVM, I highly recommend taking the time to properly understand this new and exciting technology, and this book is a good place to start.The only drawbacks of the book was the sometimes poor quality of the picture/figures.

The book starts with an awesome introduction to the evolution of JVM. With loads of diagrams and code snippets, it introduces the architecture of JVM and help you understand the Just-in-Time (JIT) compilation. The book continues explaining Graal JIT followed by the GraalVM architecture.By Chapter four, you will learn the power Graal JIT compiler and how it optimizes the JIT compilation. In the next chapters, you will learn about the Graal Ahead-Of-Time compilation that helps in building native images followed by GraalVM polyglot showcasing how Truffle helps you run guest programming languages like JavaScript(Node.JS), Python, R, Ruby etc., by utilizing the Graal compiler's features to generate high-performance code.The book ends by introducing you on how GraalVM can be used as the core runtime for running microservices.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of all of the different aspects of the GraalVM platform. It talks about Graal as a Java JIT, as an ahead-of-time native image compiler, as a polyglot system for running JavaScript, Node, Python, R, Ruby, LLVM, WASM, and Java-on-Java.It talks about how microservices can be built on top of GraalVM and where the benefits are. The book goes into much more depth than usual on the architecture and ideas behind this technology, giving you the tools to understand the platform and get more out of it.If you're using Java, JavaScript, Node, Python, or Ruby in a high-performance environment it's worth reading this book to find out what GraalVM is making possible and how. If you're using multiple languages in a polyglot system it's worth reading it to discover how they can be combined. And if you're using Java in a constrained environment such as in containers it's worth reading it to understand what native images enable.
