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

Explore the cutting-edge JITServer technology in this 29-minute conference talk by Rich Hagarty from IBM, presented at a Linux Foundation event. Delve into the world of Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation for Java developers and discover how the Eclipse OpenJ9 JVM's JITServer technology revolutionizes performance in containerized environments. Learn how separating the JIT compiler from the application allows for smaller containers, higher application density, and significant cost savings. Understand the benefits of JITServer, including faster ramp-up time, improved resource control, increased reliability, and compilation cost amortization across multiple application instances. Gain insights into the implementation details, deployment strategies in containers, and comparative advantages over traditional JIT compilation techniques. Walk away with practical recommendations on when and how to leverage this innovative technology to optimize your Java applications in modern, containerized environments.
