Many solutions promise ultra-fast startup times for serverless Java apps, ranging from compiling a native image that removes JVM from the compiled app to taking a snapshot of the application after startup so that there are no startup tasks to be completed when restored. But these solutions often make you compromise on developer experience, throughput performance, or security.
To overcome such tradeoffs, solutions that vastly improve the startup time of Java apps should:
-
Make it easy for developers to implement in apps
-
Use existing skills and APIs to write apps
-
Enable on-the-fly configuration at deployment (restore) time.
-
Ensure a good peak throughput performance of the app
-
Ensure the security of the app does not get compromised.
