📊[POLL] WASM vs GRAALVM vs JVM: what is the most PERFORMANT?
📊[POLL] WASM vs GRAALVM vs JVM: what is the most PERFORMANT?
Cold start, throughput, memory: which runtime wins? ⚡
When we say performance, what are we actually optimizing for?
▪️ WebAssembly (Wasm) ⚡
Tiny, portable and sandboxed. Particularly interesting when fast startup, isolation and short-lived workloads matter.
▪️ GraalVM Native Image 🚀
AOT compilation turns Java applications into native executables. Think fast startup, low memory footprint and no traditional JVM warm-up.
▪️ JVM + JIT (HotSpot) ☕
Give the JVM time to warm up and the JIT can optimize hot code using runtime profiling. For long-running workloads, that can be a major advantage.
▪️ It depends on workload 🤷
Because "fastest" could mean:
⚡ lowest cold start
🧠 lowest memory usage
🔥 highest sustained throughput
⏱️ lowest latency
💰 lowest infrastructure cost
So if you had to choose ONE...
What is the most performant?
