Just-In-Time Compilation as a Service - The Next Frontier in Open Source Java Compilers

Watch a 38-minute EclipseCon 2022 conference talk exploring how Eclipse OpenJ9 JVM's JITServer technology revolutionizes Just-In-Time compilation in containerized environments. Learn how separating the JIT compiler from applications enables smaller containers, higher application density, and significant cost savings. Discover implementation challenges, performance characteristics, and practical deployment strategies in Docker and Kubernetes/OpenShift environments. Through detailed explanations and real-world demonstrations, understand how JITServer technology eliminates CPU and memory surges, improves resource provisioning, accelerates ramp-up time, enhances reliability, and distributes compilation costs across multiple application instances. Gain insights into JVM choices, OpenJ9 features like Shared Class Cache, and see practical examples of container size reduction while improving throughput and efficiency. Basic container technology knowledge is recommended for optimal understanding of this IBM-led presentation.
