JIT vs. AOT: Choosing GraalVM Native Image for Java

Java applications traditionally rely on Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation for performance optimizations. However, with the advent of GraalVM’s Native Image, developers can leverage Ahead-Of-Time (AOT) compilation to improve startup times and reduce memory footprint. This article compares JIT and AOT compilation, highlighting when to use GraalVM’s Native Image in real-world scenarios. 1. Understanding JIT Compilation How …
