Java cloud-native shoot-out: InstantOn vs CRaC vs Native Image
Historically, Java has held a dominate position in enterprise software. The JVM provided efficient garbage collection and dynamic JIT compilations, ensuring Java applications run efficiently and reliably. But there are issues when moving those workloads to the cloud-native world of microservices and serverless deployments, where low resource usage and quick start-up times are critical. This session will take a look at the latest innovations that attempt to tackle this problem. Both Liberty InstantOn and OpenJDK CRaC promise millisecond start-up times, but how easy are they to implement? Native image is a new trend that statically compiles your Java code ahead-of-time into an executable image, effectively eliminating the need for a JVM - but does this put limits on what Java functionally you can implement? We will go into the details of each of these technologies, weighing the pros and cons.
