Graal Cloud Native Development

Our mission is simple\: Make programs run faster and programmers more productive. Our world-class research and advanced development team at Oracle Labs is constantly innovating in the area of compilers, virtual machines, programming languages, and cloud technologies. In the GraalVM project, we are building high-performance implementations for Java, JavaScript, Ruby, R, Python, and C/C++. Our multi-language framework Truffle focuses on interoperability and reuse between different languages. In the Micronaut project, we are building the best microservice framework in the industry. Micronaut is highly optimized for running on GraalVM, leveraging all benefits brought by GraalVM AOT (Ahead of Time) compiler called Native Image. In addition to that, our Oracle Labs team is developing various productivity tools supporting the whole GraalVM and Micronaut ecosystem. The latest results of our work are published at international research and developer conferences.
