The Next Frontier in Open Source Java Compilers: Just-in-Time Compilation as a Service
summary
Separates the JIT compiler into a remote service so containers drop heavy CPU and memory spikes, enabling smaller images and faster ramp-up; OpenJ9 JITServer (distributed with IBM Samurai runtimes) runs on Linux for Java 8/11/17 and integrates with Kubernetes/OpenShift. Tests show roughly half memory footprint for clients and overall cluster memory down to ~66% with one JITServer; each server prefers 10–20 clients and 1–2 GB RAM. Instant-on snapshots hit ~300 ms startup and compilation costs amortize across instances.
